housekeeping matters that you'll have the closing arguments an monday, the judge's instructions to the jury about the law, what they should and should not consider, and inevitably questions come up from the jury. this will be done in this covid era, done by zoom. telling mr. chauvin you need to be available to us if we need you. >> and most importantly here the jurors are now going to be sequestered following closing arguments for the duration of deliberations. they were told to pack, pack for a long time, but hope for a shorter amount of time, taking into consideration that we've had three weeks now of testimony. but of course the most memorable testimony is going to be what drives the jurors' decisions here and the prosecution is going to have to do a phenomenal job in the closing arguments of really threading through all of the different aspects of this trial. using that star witness of the 9:29 video, hearing from george floyd himself who although has now died is still going to have his voice loom very large over

this entire thing, his statements about not being able to breathe, the silence after he lost consciousness, the statements of the bystanders, the law enforcement officials who testified and of course the last person we heard from was the dynamite pulmonology expert. if you balance all that, it's the prosecution's case that had those moments. the defense case really not memorable to move the needle so you've got to wonder how the defense at their closing is going to try to undermine at their final boit of the apple all the things the prosecution was able to accomplish in this trial. >> and the most dramatic things that happened today, the most significant things from a rule of law perspective or how the trial would go forward perspective happened with the jury not in the courtroom and that happened in a pre-trial session this morning, chief, and let's start with the defendant's decision, his constitutional right, if you're on trial in the united states of america you do

not have to testify at your own trial. the burden is on the prosecution. we did not expect derek chauvin to testify but you never know until the end. and so in the courtroom this morning first a conversation back and forth between mr. nelson, his attorney, and mr. chauvin, proving to the judge that they had discussed this issue many, many times because of the defendant's rights and then officer chauvin talking directly to judge cahill about his testify not to testify. listen. >> is this your decision not to testify? >> it is, your honor. >> all right. do you have any questions about your right to remain silent or to testify on your own behalf? >> not at this time, i don't. >> all right, has anyone promised anything or threatened you in any way to keep you from testifying? >> no promises or threats, your honor. >> do you feel that your decision not to testify is a voluntary one on your behalf? >> yes, it is. >> the judge then accepts that. the defendant's right not to testify. i want to hear both of your thoughts on this. let's start with you, chief ramsey, and i heard you earlier in the day saying this was -- you expected this, because if derek chauvin gets on that stand

he is open to everything. >> exactly right. and that would put him in a terrible position and would -- i think it would go a long way toward him losing the case as opposed to even having a slight chance of winning. i mean there's no justification for what he did and i believe having watched the prosecution now for the last three weeks and how skillful they are at questioning witnesses, they would literally rip him to shreds. and so i'm not surprised he's not going to testify. i think it's in his best interest that he doesn't testify and so the only surprise would be if he said he was. i think he made a good decision for himself. >> to that point, laura, the potential value. we've heard the defense theory throughout, right, that they are trying to make the case that there was a struggle beforehand, officer chauvin thought george floyd might struggle again. he knew he was under the influence of controlled

substances, he was worried about that, at one point mr. nelson said repeatedly officer chauvin was starting to get worried about the crowd and was he under threat from the crowd and maybe he became distracted and wasn't paying attention to mr. floyd's care and health. to hear officer chauvin's perntive there could, could, could be helpful to the defense but the problem is the prosecution can say you went to all of your training where you would told not to do these things. right? you agree? >> absolutely. they've contemplated all of the different flowchart analysis here. if he were to say, look, i thought i was following my training, we've heard multiple witnesses who've said this was not the training. in fact, you were trained the opposite. if he says i had no idea he was under physical duress, we've seen from the video with our own eyes, 9:29 worth of having this person be at least under physical duress for the last 4:00 or so no longer being conscious and bystanders imploring him to do something. he could also say i waited for

medical personnel to arrive. if you're in police custody you have a duty of care owed to provide and render cpr or other services even if you don't think you were the cause of the physical duress. and finally the idea of saying well, look, the crowd was so distracting to me i couldn't possibly have performed my duty here, well the emts arrived and were able to be nimble around this very thing. you go through the potential responses he could give all he's left with essentially is trying to appeal to one or more jurors to say, look, i made a mistake. i didn't mean to. it could have been you. this could have happened to anyone. then again, you have other officers on the scene and other people looking at this and saying, no, what would it have taken to move off this person's neck? and the final thing that normally is what officers get for the benefit of the doubt is the idea of having to make split second decisions, john, they have -- they don't want you to have the monday morning quarterback and use your 20/20 hindsight to now judge a split second decision. think of how the prosecution

started this case, 9:29 and not a split second among them. this is contemplative. how will he answer that? it was a good decision although the prosecutor in me would love to have seen him be cross-examined and all these things it was probably prudent for him to stay off of that stand. >> the other dramatic thing this morning, and your eyes always pop when you know it's the day the defense is going to rest, you're getting to the end of the trial and at the pre-trial this morning you hear the words newly discovered evidence. that is a shock at any point in the trial but especially right at the end of the trial and what the prosecution was telling the judge is when the defense expert and medical doctor testified yesterday he was raising these theories about carbon monoxide poisoning and the medical examiner went back and looked at the records that they found a test that directly refutes. the judge this morning said, sorry, you were warned this theory, you were warned months ago this theory might be raised by the defense medical experts you should have looked then to

find the test. the judge said clearly any mention of this, and this is a mistrial. >> the late disclosure has prejudiced the defense. it's not going to be allowed. so dr. tobin will not be allowed to testify as to those lab results. if there's anything he wished to add about carbon monoxide as far as environmental factors. but if he hints that there are test results the jury has not heard about it's going to be a mistrial. pure and simple. this late disclosure is not the way we should be operating here. >> chief, that was a back in your chair moment in the sense that, you know, the prosecution wanted to bring in the test result that said george floyd's carbon monoxide level was 1.5%. they've had that evidence for months, the blood was drawn after mr. floyd was killed in may. the prosecution wanted to bring that in, pay no attention to dr. fowler, what he said was a --

back in march and april moving pre-trial, you can't bring it in. >> the judge is absolutely right. i mean, the first time in three weeks we actually saw the prosecution on its heels a bit during that discussion. you know, with a case like this, a high profile case like this, you would think that every single analysis would be conducted, and that it would be thoroughly reviewed by the prosecution and if they had that information, then they should have brought it forward. especially since the defense did raise it with dr. fowler, where he raised that issue, and on cross-examination the prosecution pretty much poo-pooed it as if, you know, it was just foolish to even raise that particular issue. and so, you know, they were walking a real tight rope there with the rebuttal witness of dr. tobin. because if he had messed up, this would have been a mistrial and that would have had huge

ramifications beyond the courtroom. >> and to that point, laura, as a former prosecutor, the prosecution in the state of minnesota decided we're going to do it, we're going to bring dr. tobin back into the room because there is a test, "a," that mostly makes the point. they wanted to bring in test "b," which directly refutes the testimony of dr. fowler. the judge said don't touch test "b." so they bring in the witness and, you know, a trained lawyer knows i cannot say this, but i heard you speaking krerl earlier about the witness. listen to dr. tobin and then on the other side a question. >> we know in mr. floyd that it was 98% saturated. >> so 98% saturated with oxygen. >> with oxygen when they measured it in hennepin county. >> so in other words as to the statement that his hemo -- could have increased by 10% to 18 #%, in your view that's not possible. >> it's simply wrong.

>> it was at most 2%. >> at most 2%. >> again they have a test that says it was 1.5%. he could not say that. so you're walking up to the line, and as an attorney you're holding your breath, asking the witness, please don't cross the line. get right up to the edge but don't cross. did he do it? >> he did it, and this was kind of an evidentiary thesaurus of sorts, i'll use what's in evidence oxygen related data, this must be true if this is the oxygen level, then the carbon monoxide level must be "x" without putting your hand on that hot steve. but i tell you, prosecutors always know you never want to ask that one question too many because you invite already very chatty kathy witnesses, whether they're talking about expertise or otherwise, expert witnesses want to provide testimony. they want to speak and this particular witness as well sat on the stand for hours and they asked him why did you come to

testify initially and he said well i was asked and thought i could be helpful and he volunteered his services. this is a red flag for prosecutors to know this might be someone you ask one question too many but attorney blackwell did a good job of staying on the straight and narrow and had the defense on cross opened the door, john, had the defense on cross raised that particular report they no longer would have had the benefit of saying, hey, well you prejudiced us by even having this mentioned. so you saw, even attorney eric nelson sitting down very quickly because he did not want to lose whatever ground he would stand on in the event he wanted to later raise this on appeal. >> it's one of the many remarkable moments throughout this trial but in this final day of testimony, again, the defense has rested. the prosecution has rested. closing arguments will be on monday. the judge giving the jury a long weekend before they begin their deliberations. laura coates, chief ramsey, grateful for your help throughout the past 14 days of

testimony. up next for us, another dramatic case and also in minnesota, the former police officer who fatally shot daunte wright today makes her first court appearance.

carries a maximum sentence if convicted up to ten years in prison, and/or a $20,000 fine. roles are reversing for the officer who spent a great deal of her career here at the brooklyn center police department. she started working here at the department back in 1995. the 48-year-old, according to the criminal complaint, was training a rookie officer on the day she fired that shot, a shot that ended the life of 20-year-old dante brown. a criminal complaint also tells us a bca investigator examined the belt that carried potter's gun and her taser. according to the complaint she pulled the gun with her right-hand, her 9 millimeter handgun and pointed it at wright before firing one round. the yellow taser with the black grip was on the left side of that belt holster. so the big question a lot of people in the community have

asked how did she mistake the two? we will hear what happens in court today. she's going to be in court local time, and a few hours. john? >> adrienne broaddus, grateful for the live reporting. thank you. today the vice president kamala harris adding her voice this the ongoing conversation about policing. the body camera video in the case we talked about there, you hear officer potter shouting taser taser taser before she discharges the gunshot that killed daunte wright. in an interview wednesday the vice president said she wants accountability in this case and she puts the burden on police training. >> among the issues is the issue of training, and having law enforcement who carry both be very clear about the difference between the two. because as we have seen the consequence can be the loss of life. there has to be, among other things, on this issue serious

training before someone is allowed to carry the two of those things. >> up next for us, major international news, the white house officially blames russia's intelligence service for a massive cyberattack and it imposes new sanctions as punishment. cell phone repair. did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? just get a quote at libertymutual.com. really? i'll check that out. oh yeah. i think i might get a quote. not again!

. the biden administration today slapping sweeping new sanctions

on russia, including expelling russian officials stationed here in the united states, this in response to the 2020 election interference from moscow and the solar winds cyberattack that breached vital u.s. government agencies and private businesses. the move escalates tensions with moscow but the white house says president biden is still hopeful to schedule a summit with vladimir putin sometime in the months ahead. later this year. biden national security adviser jake sullivan telling cnn this morning the administration is adamant that russia be held accountable but he says there also is an opportunity here. >> we believe that all together, both the actions we are taking today and that broader diplomacy can produce a better set of outcomes for u.s./russia relations. >> cnn's kylie atwood joins us from the state department, interesting perspective that we're slapping significant punishment but we hope in the long run something better comes of it. >> reporter: that's right, the administration essentially is making the argument that their response today is proportional

in response to what russia had done, the malign actions that they had carried out that undermined the united states and americans and america's allies. so i want to kind of work through the tremendous costs that have been inflicted on russia by the biden administration today. first of all they sanctioned individuals and the government, and intelligence agencies that were involved in that solar winds attack on u.s. government agencies and private companies, they also went after individuals who were involved in the 2020 presidential interference efforts. the other thing that they did was expel ten russian diplomats. those are folks that essentially are saying -- are spies of russia. so they are kicking them out. they have to leave in 30 days and then the third thing is that with an executive order, and with efforts by the treasury department, the biden administration is going after russian sovereign death. that's a way to restrict the --

russia's economy. this is an important area. i want to point out, john, because this is an area where the biden administration says that they can ramp up if they want to, in that executive order there's room for biden to do more down the line. now, the question here, of course, with all of this is, you know, what gives? will this make an impact? is this going to change russia's actions? officials told me that they're not sure that it will. but the bottom line is that the biden administration is doubling down on its commitments to hold russia accountable and as you said they're doing this alongside their efforts to try and open, maintain open communication with russia. russian president vladimir putin received a phone call from president biden ahead of these actions that were taken today. and on that phone call biden warned him that they were coming. he also proposed that the two leaders sit down and he said that because, you know, the biden administration is saying that we need to continue talking with russia. the other aspect here i want to

point out, john, is that the biden administration is also saying that there are going to be unseen elements of their response to russia. so not everything that we are seeing today is the totality of what they are doing in response to russia's malign actions. >> right. and often in cases like this, those unseen elements are they are being blamed for a cyberattack on the united states. i guess returning the favor, if you will, the wrong terminology but likely one of the things that happens there. caylee, stay with me a minute. our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins tweeting out president biden will speak to this. four hours from now we'll hear from the president. it's an interesting balance, we're seeing it in china also. at a time the administration has strong policy differences with china. can they do the same with russia? say we disagree with this, we're going to sanction you about that but can we cooperate on arms col and other issues?

>> reporter: important that this is their posture here, they're saying we're going to be tough but we're going to be fair essentially, we're going to hit back at you when it's necessary, but we're going to work with these countries who are adversarial to the united states when it's in the interest of the united states. and it's important to note that this climate change summit that's taking part next week virtually with world leaders, the biden administration invited not only china, but russia also to partake in that conversation, so the climate envoy secretary kerry is working on that as he is in china this week, and of course we'll have to see which leaders show up to that effort and really take the opportunity to work with the united states in these areas where the biden administration is saying, hey, we have overlapping interests, let's do something here. >> 85 days in to the new administration, several international challenges front and center. caylee, grateful for the reporting and insights there.

let's focus on another one, secretary of state antony blinken is -- president biden announced he will withdraw all u.s. troops in afghanistan by the 2011 anniversary of the attacks. after nearly two decades, the work ahead no longer a military effort. >> there is no military solution to the conflict that remains here. the only path forward to a durable lasting and just end to the conflict is through negotiation, is through a political agreement. >> the president's plan is to begin drawing down those troops on may 1st and that plan is getting mixed reactions from lawmakers on capitol hill. let's go straight to capitol hill now. with manu raju. >> reporter: there's mixed reaction from both parties, some on the democratic side are

applauding what president biden did, there are people like chuck schumer, the senate majority leader who is supportive of the move to withdraw troops from afghanistan. there are also some democratic critics, like jeanne shaheen of new hampshire, criticizing the president, also bob menendez, the senate foreign relation committee chairman raising concerns as well and the republican side overwhelmingly there's criticism from republicans like mitch mcconnell, but also some support like senator ted cruz, behind the idea of bringing back troops from afghanistan. but a sampling of reactions here on cnn, jason crow, a congressman from colorado on the democratic side said the folks left behind, nobody wants to be the last person out because that's a very dangerous place to be. we have to make sure that we're doing right by them. look what senator lindsey graham, the republican hawk from south carolina, saying president biden unfortunately has chosen the highest risk option available, which is to leave no matter what, and that nancy

pelosi, the house speaker, called it an important and welcome development. so you're seeing mixed reaction on both sides, to show the complicated legacy left behind on capitol hill from the nation's longest war, some wanting to continue, some uncertain what it would bring, others worried, some still saying they're not certain if they'll get behind this, like one mitt romney, the 2012 presidential nominee for the republican side. i asked him if he backs this move. he says he'll wait and see what the conditions are on the ground when it is time to remove all troops. he said if it's safe then, he will support it, if it's not, he will oppose it. >> manu raju live for us on the hill. up next, dr. anthony fauci defending public health recomme recommendations throughout the covid crisis. a fund that invests in the innovators of the nasdaq 100 like you become an agent of innovation with invesco qqq

the johnson & johnson covid vaccine pause continues because government experts say they need more time to study rare episodes of severe blood clots, a cdc committee looking at those safety concerns says it will reconvene in the days ahead. the pause could last seven to ten days, perhaps more. supplies are low but the pause still takes one of three u.s. approved vaccines off the shelf at a time, look at the numbers, the case count is stubbornly high. new infections 75,375. off the horrific winter surge we started off at 60,000 infections, 71,000 is the

average, 71,282 is your seven-day average, a number way too high. this playing out, community transmission, you want to be yellow or blue. watch the red, especially up here. it's community transmission over the past month and you see filling in red, more red, more red. especially in this part of the country, covid cases running higher, community transmission still a problem, the hope is, the vaccine rollout mitigates some of that, and 23% of the american population, 23% now fully vaccinated. 37% in the united states have received at least one dose. among adults those 18 and over about half of the population, 48% have at least one dose and nearly two-thirds of those over the age of 65, most vulnerable. 63% fully vaccinated. progress in these numbers even though the case counts are still very troubling. if you look at the vaccines by maker, pfizer, moderna, again the johnson & johnson vaccine now on pause was already a

smaller piece of the market, it was later to the market, and had supply issues, mostly pfizer and moderna in the market place right now, and if you look at the weekly allocations, especially with the jarks &j pause it is up to the pfizer and moderna vaccines to make up the gap, if you will, this is just for a first dose but you see back on the week of april 5th, 4.7 million and 3.5 million, april 12th the next week, the same, the administration has been able to ramp it up a bit. a little more pfizer up to 5 million, a little more moderna, up to 3.7. this is boosting the numbers of these two as j&j is off to the side a little bit. as all this plays out the administration having to explain its actions, today dr.a anthony fauci getting testy at times with republican congressman jim jordan. >> what objective outcome do we have to reach before americans get their liberty and freedoms back? >> you know, you're indicating liberty and freedom.

i look at it as a public health measure to prevent people from dying and going to the hospital. you're making this personal, and it isn't. >> it's not a personal thing. >> you are, that is exactly what you're doing. we're not talking about liberties. we're talking about a pandemic that has killed 560,000 americans. >> i get that, doctor -- >> that's what we're talking about. >> our cnn senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is with us now. i want to talk about the jisciee and the data and the vaccine rollout. evidence we've seen throughout the past year plus of political disagreements but it's more important than that. >> it really is. i think what that exchange, that very heated exchange, john, shows us is the fight between two different parts of america. many americans feeling the way dr. fauci does, which is we need to do what we can to save lives. you've got more than half a million dead americans because of this virus, if you have to wear a mask to save lives, wear a mask, darn it, and darn it is

my second choice of words. the other half of america saying you're taking away my liberty by telling me to wear a mask or telling me i shouldn't go here or shouldn't go there or that i shouldn't convene in large groups indoors. that crystallized that debate within the united states. >> as that debate continues, elizabeth, the cdc and the fda deciding to recommend the pause in the use of the j&j vaccine so they could admittedly, a small number of rare blood clots here but some thought it would be a day or two. now it's looking to go a little bit longer. explain where we are. >> where we are is that they're proceeding very carefully with this. the government wants to get the recommendations from a group in the cdc, their outside advisers who advise on vaccine decisions. they've been doing this for many, many decades. yesterday that group said, you know, we want more data and so they want to learn more before they make a decision. but at that same meeting yesterday a cdc official said, you know what, by friday,

meaning tomorrow, by friday we need to set a date, when we're going to talk again. my sources telling me there are basically two choices at this point. they say, look, this is going to go back on. they're not going to take this shot away. but should they put out a warning, saying if you want to take the johnson & johnson vaccine you go ahead but you've got to know there was this tiny, very rare number, very small number of blood clots in the brain due to this vaccine. take it if you want it but we're warning you or do you do that and also say, you know what, young women you shouldn't get this vaccine because most of the events we've seen are in that group, women under the age of 48. that's basically the two choices, this group wanted to see if there were maybe more cases of blood clots that hadn't come up before, but i think there's sort of a push now that these -- these folks need to sit down and make a decision. which of those two options are they going to take, or is there possibly a third one? john? >> well, i'm sure you'll stay on top of in a and be back with us to talk about it. elizabeth cohen, grateful for the reporting. norway is becoming the

latest country postponing introducing the johnson & johnson vaccine pending the investigations. let's get more now from general correspondents around the world. >> reporter: all eyes in europe on the -- expected verdict next week on the safety of the johnson & johnson vaccine. many countries have paused its rollout. in france the 200,000 doses will be administered in the same way as the astrazeneca vaccine is being administered in france to people over the age of 55. but in many countries we're awaiting to see what the european medicines agency has to say about a vaccine that was to represent a substantial proportion of those deliveries that would be used for the rollout. 2 200 million doses are expected in the second quarter.

at present the european commission said the eu is negotiating for a third contract with pfizer which a commission spokesman as described as the backbone of europe's vaccination rollout program. >> reporter: i'm in new delhi, india, the country surpassed 40 million confirmed total cases of covid-19. it also crossed #00,000 new daily cases for the first time since the pandemic began. the health ministry reported over a thousand fatalities for the second consecutive day. due to a concern and shortage in beds, and financial capital mumbai are converting more hotels into makeshift hospitals. the chief minister has announced weekend curfews over the last week several other states announced partial lockdowns, india has the second highest confirmed total cases of covid-19 saf u.s. according to

data from the johns hopkins university. >> i'm celine in tokyo, a key figure in japan's ruling party said the tokyo olympics could be cancelled this summer in japan's covid situation gets worse, it's rare to see a japanese government official publicly address the topic of an olympic cancellation. and it's an extremely influential figure in japanese politics. he was asked if a cancellation of the olympics was a possibility. he responded of course, adding what would be the point of an olympics that spreads the infection? now that is exactly the question that many people here in japan are asking, hosting the games this summer remains deeply unpopular among the public as japan struggles to deal with the fourth wave of covid cases that experts say are driven by more contagious covid variants. on top of that you have less than half a percent of the japanese population fully vaccinated. we know that international spectators are banned but these games will still involve more than 11,000 athletes from more than 200 countries who will be

tested regularly, but will not need to quarantine. now nikkei later watered down his comments hoping the games go on this summer but his comments struck a cord with the public. umm next to us, good economic news, the number of americans filing first time unemployment claims just hit a pandemic low. have you ever seen this before? she's so beautiful. janie, check this out. >come here. >>let me see.

political radar, jobless claims, lowest level since the pandemic first struck last spring. unemployment has climbed to 576,000 last week, but down from 769,000 just the week before. improving jobs numbers along with a biggest than expected jump in retail sales, the economic recovery is gaining steam. we're learning the biden administration has flown 3,000 migrants all with children, to san diego, california. since mid-march, only to expel them to an area of mexico those families are unfamiliar with. said to be an effort to ease the bottleneck in the valley. migrants have been transferred to shelters in tijuana by mexico's national institute of immigration. current nine justices to 13. that effort is being led by senator ed markey of massachusetts. representative jerry nadler of

new york, house speaker nancy pelosi just asked moments ago and she would back this legislation. >> do you support jerry nadler's bill for expanding the supreme court to -- >> no, i support the president's commission to study such a proposal. >> the bill will also unlikely to gain much momentum on the senate side, all republicans and senate democrats oppose expanding the court. next hour on capitol hill, very important testimony, the u.s. capitol police inspector general michael bolton testifying before the congressional committee about the intelligence and operational failures that led to the january 6th insurrection. what are we looking for? >> john, we're looking for details about the operational failures as well as the intelligence failures leading up to and on the day of the insurrection. let's talk about the operational challenges they faced. the i.g. has pointed out that they had operational problems for months concerning their

civil disturbance unit. the unit that would have been responsible for a riot. they did not have a standard operating procedure in place that had been rescinded in summer of 2020. they were supposed to come up with a new one. they never did. we will also likely hear him talk about other operational challenges such as failing to keep critical equipment, and temperature controlled settings. now, on the day of the riot operationally more failures, leadership apparently told some of the officers on the ground responding to this riot not to use their less than lethal options, things like stun grenades, things that may have arguably helped them control this crowd as this crisis was beginning to unfold. on the intelligence side, he points out that there was intelligence weeks before january 6th that indicated people on a pro-trump website were talking about tunnels beneath congress. that was in a piece of intelligence given from the department of homeland security to uscp, apparently not acted

upon appropriately and further one of the things he'll talk about is this confusion among uscp about the intelligence said about the reality of the threat. certainly officers believed uscp intelligence products indicated there may be threats but did not identify anything specific while other officials believed it would be inaccurate to state that there were no known specific threats to the joint session based on those same uscp intelligence products. a lot of conflict in the preparation of the intelligence products they were working from, what the product even said and then as we look for ways to move forward, one of the things he will talk about is reorienting this department from a police-based agency into a protection-based agency, that would represent a shift in their thinking about what their true mission is on the hill so that's something i believe he'll speak a lot about today, john. >> more than three months later, still a lot of questions. we haven't answered all of the

questions. greatful for the reporting. up next for us in chicago, the city is bracing for the police body camera video in the death of a 13-year-old boy. if you're 55 and up, t- mobile has plans built just for you. switch today and get 2 lines of unlimited and 2 free smartphones. plus you'll now get netflix on us. all this for up to 50% off vs. verizon. it's all included. 2 lines of unlimited for only $70 bucks. and this rate is fixed. you'll pay exactly $70 bucks total.
