i'm bianna golodryga. welcome to cnn newsroom and i'm erica hill just minutes from now and ousted tennessee lawmaker may know whether he can actually go back to that job. he was elected to do the voters that needed to reinstate justin pearson the votes rather needed to reinstate justin pearson happening this hour. pearson of course, is one of two tennessee state representatives who were expelled last week after demonstrating on the statehouse floor, demanding gun reform. republicans who hold a super majority voted them out, saying that they broke rules. of the quorum. a third representative gloria johnson avoided expulsion by just one vote. pearson's colleague justin jones, was reinstated two days ago. and now it's pearson's turn. his fate is up to the shelby county board of supervisors. cnn's ryan young is in memphis, the county seat for shelby county. ryan o rally is

happening now to support pearson. any doubts about whether he will be reinstated. yeah that's what they believe that pearson will be reinstated . the energy is behind him, as you can feel with this yeah that's what they believe that pearson will be reinstated . the energy is behind him, as you can feel with this crowd that is marching a mile from the lorraine motel. all the way to the county. permission dude, look this direction that tennessee three are actually walking just ahead of us. this is actually been a nutrition giving with this weather right now because the weather has been so hot that several people have sort of passed out on this walk. we do know that they are planning to move people toward that county commission. we believe that will last about two hours, and then they will send back those minutes to the state capital. what a week. this has been to see democracy play out this way, with all three of these leaders now being catapulted into the top of the

country, but everyone knowing their name, the talk here, especially the early part of this rally. all about gun violence and making sure real gun control laws get passed. in fact, take a listen to pressure that early rally from just a few minutes ago. and the johnson and representative jones here in memphis. that you would the great dr martin luther king jr said movement lives or dies in memphis movement lives or dies in members and hearing this hollowed place and this sacred place. yeah showing that the united states of america and the republicans in tennessee the movement is still alive. democracy that's gonna lift up the victims of gun violence supporting the inra and the gun lobbyists democracy that they're scared of democracy. let they're worried about because this is

the democracy that changes the status quo. you see the image of dr martin luther king right there. of course. we started the lorraine motel in 54 years since he was assassinated. that's where we started from at that point where he was shot. this crowd is energized, and they believe there's a real movement. now that's been started. thanks to the republicans here in this state. there are people talking about voting coalitions all around gun violence, and you add what happened in louisville. you can understand why people are just tired of senseless violence that happens with innocent victims. let's not forget about the victims here in nashville, six of them killed, including three under nine. that's what's really galvanizing people to come together. black white. and other all standing together to really march and pushes forward, but let's get back to the representative vote. that should happen with about our we're not sure if they're gonna do a public comment section yet. if that happens, it could take a little longer but the energy here and what we're walking amongst its intense and people want change, bianna. you talk

about ryan the fact that this many people there that you've spoken with folks in the streets you're talking to today, there in support. feel that this is the start of a movement. specifically i know you mentioned government for what do they feel they can achieve with that movement. well, that's that's the thing. it's all about getting to the polls because, you know we've seen this before where people go out and they march and then people don't vote. that's what you're hearing from a lot of people. let's go out and vote. let's make some changes here. then you saw the governor yesterday actually talked to republicans and democrats asking for some common sense gun laws, so there is a momentum that's actually moving things forward. when you think about how popular this date is, especially nashville with tourism, they understand that the country is watching. try to see exactly what happens when you put all that together and you add this energy behind it with young with old, black and white. it's a different sort of calculus. in terms of how they may move this forward. i will tell you there are people who have been planning for quite some time who said they've never seen this ground swelling of support for any issue in the last 10 years here. is really

saying something ryan appreciate it will continue to check in with you, of course throughout the hour, also joining us now democrat sam mckenzie, tennessee state representative who is also chairman of the tennessee black caucus of state legislators, good to have you with us this afternoon. i'm sure you could hear that from ryan's live shot there, and i'm sure you've seen the pictures of the energy on the streets. do you have any reason to believe that representative pearson will not, in fact be reinstated? none at all. he's going to be reinstated , and they're going to expedite the process. i am hoping to see my colleague at nine a.m. central time when our floor session convenes tomorrow morning. representative last week after both representative pearson's and jones were expelled. you said, we need more howard baker type republicans that say the guy on the other side just might be right. we're right this time is what you said they're wrong. after all of this

, do you expect your republican colleagues specifically speaker sexton to say, hey, you know what? maybe we were wrong here. uh i certainly hope so. i know that there are some republicans that that's coming to me and said this. this shouldn't have happened this way. i just hope it's enough of them. and i hope that that that that speaker session can convince them to just stop this. we tried before any of this went down. we tried to say this is a rules violation . this is a technical rules violation that may have upset your apple card got you got you all upset, but it's not worth expulsion. and if you do it, you're gonna bring a whole lot of just unintended consequences to your door and that's where we are. this is this has been a beautiful thing, because the republicans, especially this year have been unduly unfairly harsh to us shutting off our microphones, preventing us from

bringing a bills for to just get vetted, and this was a culmination of what's been happening this year. do you anticipate then that this will lead to some real changes in the way business is done in the legislature. yeah i hope so. you know, at the end of the day, there's still a superman or a majority. uh if we the minority party walk out, it's going to be business as usual. but the optics, the optics, and they and they doubled down when you have two young african american men expelled and the caucasian lady who's herself since i guess because i'm have blond hair and in the white woman, uh, to be able to stay, i'll be about by one vote. she still gets the served. think about what these two men have gone through. they've been expelled. they're going to their districts. ther and 50,000. people don't have representation because of this just frivolous act. now they have to get appointed and then have a

special election this summer, all the taxpayer dollars. all of the shame that's come to our great state. like because of just some some interpersonal, uh, petty, petty part of, uh, political ideas. well. representative mackenzie will continue to follow developments today. in the next hour or so. we'll hear whether justin pearson is in fact reinstated. we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. i will in indiana right now. firefighters are battling a raging inferno at a plastics recycling plant. this is enrichment, a city in the eastern part of the state along the i o along the state line with ohio. the fire, in fact, so big that the smoke is clearly visible on these satellite images. look at that. there there were captured some 22,000 miles above the earth does images will officials are saying that the fire erupted tuesday after semi trailer parked behind the facility, caught fire and then spread. the truck contained an unknown type of plastics. at

one point, residents could hear terrifying popping sounds coming from the fire. that sounds like gunshots. the fire, marshall said that the thick dark plumes of smoke billowing across the city are definitely toxic, which is forced thousands of nearby residents to evacuate. health officials are concerned about toxic air and the release of asbestos, the epa administrator tells cnn teams are on the scene awaiting the results of critical air quality tests. we were on the ground just hours after we are providing support to state and local officials. um during this emergency response, we've also activated our air monitoring assets as well, to be sure that we understand what those air quality implications are. our goal is to ensure that this community stays safe. and so we've been on site since the

beginning, and we're going to stay there until we can assure that this community is not seeing any threats from the air quality implications here. cnn's omar jimenez is on the scene in richmond, indiana. omar officials say this fire will likely burn for days. so can you give us an update as to what officials are saying about the safety of the air quality there? that's a top concern for residents. yeah a major concern for these residents. as far of why we're wearing a mask right now. they're really concerned about particulates in the air around the ground level, a lot of the toxins that they've seen so far in the plume of cloud that you see behind me here, and i should just give you a better look at this. this obviously is still a massive operation much better than it was when we first got onto the scene a little bit earlier today, as you mentioned, though, their assessment is that for them to be able to put this out completely is likely an operation. that's going to take days. at this point. i mentioned some of the concerns of the

particulates. that's actually partly good news. because we have seen the results are we were told about the results of some preliminary tests of the air quality at the ground level, and no toxins were found at the ground level. but they found those particulates which typically come from smoke, so there are still risks for smoke inhalation and, of course, smoke getting into people could cause respiratory issues as well. take a listen to one of the health officials from wayne county here , describing some of what they are concerned about again. even with some of those particular it's around the ground level. um these are very fine particles. and if they're breathe, then can cause all kinds of respiratory problems burning in the eyes tightening of the chairs, it could aggravate asthma, uh, cause bronchitis and all kinds of things. so we are stressing to the public to honor the evacuation zone. it's for your safety that the evacuation zone

is there. and if you can see the smoke, you're in the smoke. get out of the smoke. and about 2000 . people are being affected by the evacuation order. as for what caused this, they're still looking into it. they say they're not to be able to really find out until this smoke and flames are put out. but the mayor here was quick to say that they had been sighted. they excited this property before that this property had been cited for fire hazards multiple times. according to the mayor, and that the talk among officials was not if something like this would happen, but when and now it appears it has so it's obviously something officials are going to be looking at much closer as they try to pinpoint an exact cause of this fire, but bottom line there are toxins going into the air. and while it's into the air right now, and it's particularly on the ground, the concern is that as they progress further and fighting this smoke and the flames those toxins get lower

and lower and lower, and that is why epa officials on the ground have told us they're testing continuously so that if any sort of threshold there is met, they're able to know as quickly as possible. and, of course, alert those here in this community. yeah so important that they stay on it. i can only imagine the anxiety for folks there on the ground to. i mean, just the cloud of smoke is really something. omar um, glad to see you wearing masks. i know that you already touched on the fact that the plant owner was previously cited for unsafe conditions on that property, can you how much do we know about those citations and whether any were related to any of them related to previous fire issues? at this point. what we're told is that they're related to fire hazards that when there were whether they were complaints or inspections that the fire officials or the city assessed that what we're seeing here could create or could lead to situations like what we're seeing behind that. and by the way, we even heard that from

residents who say one resident here described me as described it, who works at a business nearby, but it just looks like plastics were laying around the place like a dump truck just dump things onto the ground. that residents description was that he didn't believe there was any sort of organization and we know that the fire at least began with a dump truck or tractor trailer that was on fire spread to some of that debris, and then then it spread into the compound. and last thing is that the fire officials said the most difficult part was they actually couldn't get to this because there was so much debris that was blocking their path from fight this fire! goodness that's scary in and of itself. omar really appreciate it. we'll continue to check in with you. thank you. the department of justice and the maker of the abortion pill. mifepristone have formally replied to a new filing from the anti abortion doctors trying to take the drug off the market. so now the us fifth circuit court of appeals could roll at any time whether or not

to hold the texas judge's order. suspending that medication litigation over this view could ultimately reach the supreme court. cnn supreme court reporter ariana vogue here now to explain to us also what happens next. so we could hear at any moment. do we have any indication of when that moment will be? right the clock is taking now. it could be as early as today that federal appeals court tells us whether or not it's going to freeze that lower court opinion that opinion that blocked the approval of those that medication abortion drug it was. it is set to go into effect that opinion this friday unless the court steps in and you know, the biden administration is still reeling from because so many women, millions of women have used this drug in the more than 20 years since it went into effect, so they are just very perplexed by how the lower court

ruled here. but as you said the challengers, which is a group of doctors who are opposed to abortion at midnight last night , they filed their legal briefs . they think that this appeals court should stay out that that lower court opinion should stay in effect, and we are hearing from lots of other parties there have been and so called friend of the court briefs filed some of the drug companies are weighing in and they're saying, look, we're nervous about that lower court opinion because it could destabilize regulation for all different kinds of drugs. that's why they're very concerned. now the federal appeals court is a very conservative court. it's filled with a lot of trump nominees that biden administration might have an uphill climb there, but it's already said that if it loses at the appeals court, it's going to race to the supreme court. and asked the supreme court to step in and we'll see how the justices if they get this will look at this emergency petition because usually this conservative corp it's a little skeptical of the power of

federal agencies. but sometimes when they really think that an agency is acting within its authority, then they will defer to an agency. so all that is in play. we're waiting literally, that appeals court could rule at any time today. tomorrow. we're just not sure of the exact timing. consequences of this ruling and its decision our justice so huge. i mean, this drug has been legal and on the market and approved by the fda years for 20 plus years and as you noted that ruling could come at any moment, of course, will come back to you. when that happens, ari and evoke, thank you. kentucky officials released the 911 calls that came in while the massacre at a louisville bank was unfolding. we'll have more on that just ahead, also the shooter family now speaking out the role they say mental health may have played. stay with us. some things that go better together likike your workplace benefits and retirement series with voya,

trades. installers do gutters and siding on the side are window installation teams. do our windows year in year out and have done thousands of them anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies get stuck in the blame game with other companies. if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames the manufacturer with us. there's no finger pointing or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer. 10. is it easy for a homeowner to get a price? very easy. we'll come out to your house will assess your current patio door windows, and then we'll give you an exact price. that's good for an entire year. so that's great information. thank you. be four. april 30th when you buy one window or door , get the next 1 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four. and our financing can help make this project more affordable. get no money down no monthly payments and no interest for one year. this offer ends april 30th call renewal by

shortly. our team is actually going through the files. right now. investigators say it took the shooter one minute to carry out the attack before he waited in the lobby. ready to ambush officers now warning for you. this video is quite disturbing. mhm. i want to bring in adrian brought us who is live in louisville and adrian. we're now hearing from the shooter's family for the first time. what are what are they saying about all of this? bianna they released a statement overnight, saying in part that they knew connor struggled with depression , and in that statement, they said they knew he had challenges with mental health, but they were actively trying to address

those challenges. and i want to read part of that statement to you. it says quote. no words can express our sorrow, anguish and horror at the unthinkable harm our son connor inflicted on innocent people. it also goes on to say we mourn their loss and that of our sun connor. we pray for everyone traumatized by his senseless and i'm paraphrasing here, acts of violence and we deeply are grateful for the bravery of the louisville metropolitan police department. and we know five people lost their lives as a result of that 25 year old shooter, and those five individuals will be honored later today at a vigil here in town. we saw the body camera video yesterday and we've been talking about it throughout the day. you just see the bravery of these two officers were talking about officer c. j. galloway.

and the rookie police officer that he was training nicholas wilt. they both ran up the steps which you see behind me. you see plywood covering the windows and the door that leads to the lobby of the bank. we know after that one minute attack. the shooter returned to the lobby, and that's where he waited. waited for officers and then ambushed him. the shooter had an advantage because he could see out, but those on the outside the officers responding the first two on scene were not able to see inside officer wilt is still in critical condition a short time ago, the interim chief of police telling us the next 4 to 5 days will be critical. when it comes to seeing the progress and the recovery of officer will erica and bianna. yeah so tough. appreciate those updates, adrian , and again as you mentioned that vigil happening later tonight. thank you. joining us now. senior crime and justice correspondent. remember prepares

shimon, you've been sitting here as we said. our team's going through them even sitting here listening to these calls on set . what are you hearing in those moments? i mean this first call , so the police here have now released looks like about six calls, um significant six phone calls. um the first call is just horrific. it's a woman who is an employee of the bank, and she's actually there's a board meeting , she says, going on when this happens and she could see everything as the shooting unfolds, and so she's sitting at home or whatever. watching this meeting zoom meeting, she says. it's a it's a board meeting. and as you can imagine, she's just hysterical. um and she's telling the 911 operator what happened and describing the shooter. he's wearing khakis and that he had a rifle, but clearly she can identify. can't identify him. um but it's um it's heart wrenching . um she's just hysterical, as

you can imagine, and probably feeling so helpless and that she can't do anything and seeing her colleagues get killed. the other significant thing is that there is also the phone call from the shooter's mother. um and this phone call. what from? what i heard briefly, is that the mother? calls the police because the shooter's roommate calls her. and says he was about to do something and that he was heading to the bank. old national bank, and then the mother. you can also tell. she's freaking out. um she's talking to the 911 operator. obviously very frightened by what this roommate told her. um and so she's going through that that call lasts about 18 minutes or so, providing information to the 911 operator. but there was this note that was left behind, according to the mother. that the roommate alerted her to, of course, as we heard there from adrian. the family has told police that there was some he

was having some issues, some mental health issues, so clearly , this is giving authorities some more information but also key heroes that the authorities had all this information pretty quickly, which i think is significant. but again, you know , once we get through this and decide what we're going to air um, it's gonna be hard wrenching . i mean to think that a person sitting at home working from home participating in a board meeting sitting there watching on her computer. um as someone barrels through the door with this rifle and just starts killing people, her friends, her colleagues. um and as you can imagine, this woman will never be the same. yeah there are a couple of other calls. there's a caller from the outside, and there appears to be a couple of other witnesses inside the bank in total. the calls are about close to an hour or so, you know. generally it's just different people calling and then they also released the audio transmissions, the radio the radio transmissions of the officer of the officers, so some of those we heard we could hear

some of them on that body camera. yeah because some of them are wearing ear mix the officer so we didn't get to hear everything. but i mean, these 911 calls are just harrowing, harrowing, and you've become all too familiar and covering this mash. if we could go back to that body cam video that we saw we have a clip from officer wilts camera. he has the 26 year old rookie. i believe he was just on his fourth day on the job. and as we heard from adrian , i mean they were ambushed because if you look at how the layout of the bank was, they had to actually walk upstairs to get inside so the shooter could see them before they could see him. their their vision. as you can see, just from this video is blocked by those stairs. really and not only that it's a reflective glass so he could see out but they can't see in and from everything that we understand because he was also live streaming this remember and so police have that video and

they could see him sort of just um, i guess lying in wait, you know, just waiting for the police to show up so that he can ambush them. despite all that, despite taking all these gunshots and the fire that these officers took, i mean, they still went in. they still went towards the gunfire. they basically didn't have any kind of cover. certainly in the initial moments, um they didn't know where the gunshots were coming from where the shooter was. they had an idea, obviously where the gunshots coming from. they don't know where the shooter was. but yet they were still going and still moving towards it, and we know from with. the authorities have told us and what the doctors have said it's their their her heroic efforts there. a in distracting the gunman getting him to focus on them and then by killing them when they finally did and then going in so quickly they were able to render aid give people medical assistance that needed it immediately. there were probably bleeding and had the officers knock on and sooner. it could have died just because they would bled to death. these are horrific injuries. this is horrific weapon that causes

horrific injuries. um and so they're quick actions. they're doing everything that they did certainly saved lives will still in critical condition in the hospital. young, you know, like you said, so young, so new to the job, but still his intuition right? he went straight. in to the gunfire. i spoke with one of his former bosses when he was in the last night, and she said to me she wasn't at all surprised when he came to her and said, i want to be a police officer, she said. this is exactly who he is. it is in his nature. it is in his d. n a. that he wanted to serve and she's well. you always have a home here if you ever want to come back. but that i fully support you and what you're doing, and so she was, you know, both so proud of him understandably, but it's heart wrenching to see what? what what is now you know, people waiting on word of his condition, the police chief said. what if not us, then who? if not us, who you need these officers, you know if they don't do it, who will do it? right and these officers show you exactly, um what

courageous and tough and really officers who are willing to put their life on the line to save others. and this is a really good example of that. you've got punch after gut punch after gut punch in this country she won't occupies. thank you and the last thing trauma for so many first responders, the woman who made that call so many people tonight on cnn. katelyn polantz is going to be joined by kentucky governor andy bashir for his first interview since the bake shooting in louisville, which resulted in the loss of one of his best friends. that starts at nine p.m. right here on cnn. we'll be right back. double check that that's pretty good. yess cryrying. are you taking tt ? and what was that? that? no, don't worry about that. here we go. the right question can greatly impact your future qualified to do this. what specially when it comes to your finances. do you have a question? are you a certified

acting relief from the pain of arthritismuscles. absolutely frf a i r 2321321 roger on capitol hill, and this is cnn. house

republicans just rolled out their first bill stemming from donald trump's mounting legal troubles. the legislation introduced by south carolina congressman russell frye, would afford current and former presidents and vice presidents the option to move their own criminal or civil cases from state court to federal court. fry is a member of both the oversight and judiciary committees. his bill comes on the heels of trump's historic indictment and as the ex president seeks to delay a sexual assault trial against him . so where could this bill actually go? how would that work? joining us now? cnn legal analyst elliot williams, who's also a former federal prosecutor , elliott, when we look at this , fry says that this bill was needed because in his words, presidents and vice presidents are the most visible politicians in the u. s government, and that makes them he believes a target for quote. rogue prosecutors. but he says the benefit here would be that if you could move

any sort of civil or criminal case to a federal court that those judges who are confirmed in the senate they're not elected. he's implying they're free from politics. that's a safer space. how do you read all of this? uh look, you can have rogue prosecutors at the federal level, too. so i mean, the reasoning is a little spotty there. but look, let's be clear . congress does have the power to decide what when and where federal courts will have jurisdiction and that could include maybe crafting a manner to put only cases involving presidents or vice presidents or former presidents into the federal courts. the problem is that that creates a bunch of legal issues down the road. for instance, what if a president just take a hyper what if a president sue somebody in state court over some minor state law matter? but that, but that isn't illegal at the federal level. like what? which law governs and how would it be handled and it would just create any number of possible conflicts and law down the road that i think courts

would have to sort out so it raises all these questions. what are the other questions i had as what's the advantage here? why would somebody want to move their case to a federal court? there really is no advantage here, and i think you know i don't want to divine what the motives of a member of congress was. but you know, a lot of this is simply responding to one case involving the former president. there simply is no advantage here, and we have a long tradition in this country going back frankly, to the 10th amendment, which lays out the fact that states overseas state law and matters of state jurisdiction and even taking the former president trump former president trump's matter. it is distinct regardless of what you think of the merits of the lawsuit or of the prosecution. it is a distinct state law matter happening in st state court by a former resident of new york who chose to do business there. that's very straightforward. nothing really is changed by moving things into

federal court and this idea that somehow the federal courts are insulated from politics in a way that state courts or not, it's just simply just simply not accurate before i let you go when we speak of legal issues, and former presidents donald trump's attorneys have just asked the federal judge who's assigned to this civil trial, which involves allegations of rape in the mid nineties, asking that judge for cooling off period once about a month because there are concerns that the indictment by the manhattan d a. for the former president, maybe top of mind for potential jurors and that these cases have perhaps some similarity in nature. how common is that type of request? that's not particularly common for a number of reasons. now courts and judges presume that jurors can set aside what they've heard about the case and judge a case fairly and it would be, it would be pretty uncommon for a court to outright just postpone a trial date simply because of

other events that are going on. imagine if you were to move this forward in time for weeks or six weeks, the former president will still be facing an indictment in new york. so the idea that this thing that is consuming the news would somehow go away simply isn't accurate. now of what the judge would do is instruct the jurors that they have to put aside anything they know about the case or the trial and also, maybe even restrict the amount of media access or directors not to take him news about the trial , but it would be highly unlikely to postpone a trial health quite simply because of another event that was going on. elliot williams always appreciated. thank you. well, yet another south carolina lawmaker may throw their hat in the 2024 ring. republican senator tim scott launches an exploratory committee and his first stop is iowa will go there next? gooood morning, everyone e dodo begin with breaking news. joining us now arere two lawmaks from different sides of the

republicans, many of them like his his strong faith connection . they like his deeply conservative voting record, and the fact that he speaks with an optimistic tone calling for more unity than divisiveness that rings true, too many republicans who are looking for a change to turn the page from the former president, but it's far from certain whether this is the majority or the base of the party. i mean, we've seen the base of this party react again and again to donald trump, and he has consolidated the base of the party. so in some respects, they liked senator scott, but they're not yet seen him as a presidential candidate. so the big question here is the senator really going to draw a distinction with the front runner? who is unquestionably donald trump? so, yes, there's respect and admiration but quite friendly. they don't know all that much about him yet. that's why he's here, beginning to campaign against the rest of the republican field. and ironically , nikki haley, the former south

carolina governor, who appointed senator scott to the senate, first of all before he was elected in his own right. she's also running for president, and she, too, is in iowa. also this week. yeah, the field is getting bigger. obviously you have trump you had nikki haley have a psa hutchinson likely to have ron desantis as well. so what, if anything? would a tim scott candidacy bring to the table? what makes him stand out? well, he's certainly stands out in terms of his biography. he is the only black republican in the senate, only the second african american elected to the senate from the south since reconstruction. so his biography his roots tells an american story that he really leans into and we could see that in the video that he released this morning, and he's doing it today for a reason. this is the day april, 12th at the first shots were fired of the civil war. in his native south carolina in charleston harbor. so he uses that as a metaphor to tell the

story of all the opportunities he has been given and afforded in this country, and he really also uses it to speak out against democrats. he believes the democratic party has been more divisive. so the short answer is he's different than every other republican candidate. in the race. he has deep respect. he also, though, has some more than $20 million in his federal campaign accounts from his senate races. no other candidates had that so it certainly gives him a leg up so by a graphically he's very different. but again, the question is over. all of this. how much room is there? inside this republican party for a candidate not named trump. or perhaps desantis. interesting that he has a $20 million financial cushion. at least that's the benefit that he has as many others don't jeff zeleny. thank you. today another blow to fox news why the judge overseeing the defamation case is now appointing a special master to investigate the company. i think i'm ready for

anticipating this. after a long march. you can feel the energy in this crowd. if you look here, where the back of the county commission all these people have lined up and you see the question cameras right here. that's justin as he's walking this direction where we're going to hopefully try to join them as they make this walk. but this is what's been going on all day. this pressure relief from this crowd who was super excited for this to happen, so they wanted to make sure you can see just in there talking to the people as he walks out, and this has just been a big moment, justin. that's as you walk it out. it feels great democracy will win in the end and truth crushed to earth will rise again. as you heard as he walked out there. they're going to be another news conference outside, so we're going to join that in a second, but we wanted to make sure we were able to bring you this. let's look back at this crowd. you can see this correction. every single seat in this room was full. people were screaming and chanting the whole way! that's after that mile long

march. this has been going on for over a week. i don't think anybody in tennessee expected what has happened here? we're going to walk you out into the atrium, and there are hundreds of other people who could not get into this location. because of this. i don't think the republican party knew that they were going to start this new star justin j. pearson because these people want to be careful there soon. so we're gonna go down the stairs here. this is all started because once they were thrown out this county. even national has been galvanized behind the tennessee three and we've seen this and all three members are here right now. not only is miss johnson here and jones is here. but this is shelby county. this is memphis and they're rallying behind him. one thing that stood out to us that justin did today was he had a woman so up whose son was lost to gun violence is a friend of his. and he wanted him to be here and the mom will be here so they can talk about how gun violence is affecting this community. we know memphis has been hit particularly hard

with gun violence. and so as we move out this way, you can see another stage that set up within the address the public this has galvanized his community and a very different way. even the commissioners in there we're talking about passing the baton onto justin j piercing something that they haven't had to do before, but they believe he speaks for them now and they can't wait for them to go. how excited are you about? what's happening? excited that means we have a voice. now, finally, we got somebody to speak up for us . and our voices are being heard , unlike other people that let them hush them, but just came up there and said we needed action we need to now here are tired of these kids being killed. i'm tired of the kids. being killed, and we need to do better with gun control and saving the lives of our children, especially in memphis. it's been a tough time over the last year. how heart felt has that been have him stand there and say he wants to fight for gun justice in tears because we've been trying to get this passed for years, even without others, representatives . we've been trying to get them to go down there and make some noise about it. but they didn't do anything. but now we have

justin and justin said, well, i'm not gonna stand for this. no more we needed. we need to make changes to make change now. and so that's what he did. and now with results. even the governor is now changing what he said quiet too, because he don't want opened up this gone about where we can have for mitt. let's carry he did this last year and july 1st. he opened for midland. scary. this is the result of permit list carry you think anyone knew what they were doing when they kicked these two men out last week? they had no idea who they were kicking out. no idea who they was kicking out at that time because justin is not going to stand out. in fact, he's one of the young men here that stopped the pipeline from coming through here. so if he can stop the pipeline, i'm guarantee you he can stop some laws from being passed into change some laws. thank you so much. thank you so much. thank you. so that's how it happens. you feel people's energy as they're walking through. just ask you one quick question as we're going outside because you got to talk. what does it feel like to see that powerful moment and him? get a seat back? i mean, it was awesome. we see a

young man destined for greatness . heads of spirit of dr martin luther king upon that i'm the memphis chapter, president of the southern christian leadership conference, and i've never seen such power. this was moved in history hit this was paradise ship. what happened today we see that justice that the people stood together from this young man who's a voice and an ear for the people who stands for justice and commissioner county commissioner did the right thing on today. thank you so much. appreciate it. now. look, there's a press conference going on outside. i believe we have another camera out there as well. if you guys want to cut to that, but we're going to walk through this security portal right here to get there, so we'll see what happens when we get outside there. but they're getting ready to address the crowd about what's happened today, guys. ryan such a great reporting. thank you so much for keeping up to speed on all of this for getting us that

perspective as well from folks. and as we see the crowds as you showed us in the streets earlier so animated. this is steve cohen . congressman steve cohen, speaking now justin pearson was his intern. and now you have him here supporting him and being one of the many, many fans of justin pearson's for no other reason than what he has been able to do in the galvanized this community on this important issue. it's interesting how much we've heard to be on a in the last week. democrats saying republicans really misjudged this moment, and this is what they're getting, and they're getting voices. it will be interesting to see as we heard from ryan. they believe this is a movement. what that movement means. we're going to stay on this fitting in a quick break here, stay with us. stands f for my grade for these today, , my friend. you did it. you did it yoyou did. silver is now clinically shown to support cognitive health. in n older adults. it's one more step towards taking charge of your health. every day, you can say
