9:00 am
chauvin and it is ultimately what resulted in the death of mr. floyd. >> that's >> what was most powerful was the nine minute and 292nd video, obviously without any narration then the video itself, the points about that opening argument, first he said, the case is not about all of the abe entire heartbreaking story of what occurred on that night that led to the tragic death of george floyd and he said the case is about this, it's not about all police, it's not about the minneapolis police department, it is defendants. he said you can believe your eyes, it's a homicide and a murderer, what we will learn is that when you're in police custody you are therefore in their care. you do need to let up and get
9:01 am
up. he said you'll be hearing from the chief of minneapolis police and which you will hear the behavior of defendant derek chauvin was not consistent with training policy of the minneapolis department. what was most striking to me about the defense argument as they went and presented their argument they said, the evidence will show the contrast that the bureau of criminal apprehension investigator the department's training and policies. he said you will learn about force, excited delirium, techniques and the like, and he said he will learn the use is not attractive, but here it was necessary. these are in the words of defense counsel therefore defendant derek chauvin. he said he will learn by applying common sense and reason that the events of those, that day, derek chauvin acted with the cord and therefore did not act outside of the law nor outside of department policy on
9:02 am
that day. >> let's flip back to the prosecution. i want to take a listen to this sound bite, what they started, there opening gambit was, we will see evidence, that george floyd did not die from any issues, there were no irregularities, no cut off of airflow, during that 9 minutes and 30 seconds he was pinned to the ground. they are saying there was evidence he did not die from an opioid overdose. all coming back to the center piece which is, excessive use of police force as the culprit take away. >> george floyd struggled with an opioid addiction. he struggled with it for years. you will learn he did not die from a drug overdose. he did not die from an opioid overdose. now you will learn that mr. floyd had 11 milligrams of
9:03 am
fentanyl in his system when he died, that's a fatal amount, what you have to learn is something about tolerance. >> it looks like this is going to be the centerpiece of the prosecution's legal argument. >> exactly, that is why they say you're going to be hearing from three types of witnesses:those on the scene, additional police experts, those that are experts with use of force in training and tactics, and medical experts, testimony that can attest to the cause of death, it central to this case. with one side arguing he died of this multitude of reasons with the fentanyl and his system and an underlying heart issue, and what you will learn about, it wasn't simply a because of this a fixation brought upon by the neck. obviously the state department is arguing, that's exactly why, you heard articulated the cause of death in fact was exactly and
9:04 am
fully from that pressure of officer derek chauvin, with his knee on his neck. you will hear according to the state argument there, you will be hearing their presentation on why this was out-of-bounds, why this was unusual, why it drills down to that simple concept that he was acting outside. taking it back to the standard of proof. he's charged with three charges, second-degree murder, second degree manslaughter, and to prove each of these it's a different standard and those require, the first is the condition during a felony, so the state's attorney cap's coming back to that, this is what we will be proving to you. reminding the journey what needs to be proven to make that case while the defense is saying, there is more to this. there is a totality of circumstances that will lead you to understand that the defendant
9:05 am
was acting not only with the policy, but the situation and what it required, it did require this necessary use of force, that he wasn't acting outside of his personal training, and his 19 year career. >> i want to pick up with you where emily has left off. let's talk about derek chauvin's defense. they are making the case, evidence in this trial will show his autopsy revealed no fixation, no restriction of airflow and a toxicology report shows he has substances in his system including fentanyl. it looks like that's the core of their legal strategy. what do you think? >> i think it's a powerful defense and i've handled cases like this. the defense did a great job of telling the jurors that there is a totality of evidence, and what the prosecution did, they
9:06 am
withheld evidence from the jury. on the first day, you try to move the needle. they said we will show you all the evidence, we will make sure you see everything so you can get the total picture. the prosecution, they are going to make the jury numb to it. this is going to battle down to a couple of issues, battle of the experts, medical experts. the key here is the defense only has to get a hung jury, a mistrial. the prosecution needs all 12. police policy is the use of a need outside a palouse policy. when i heard the prosecution, l.a. police expert, i shook my head and said, bad idea. you need to have minneapolis police department said, that was out. if they don't say that they are in trouble because it's going to be out of policy.
9:07 am
the other thing is causation, all the medical evidence, whether it's a causation to the issue of the death of george floyd. it's going to be battle down to the law. i heard no evidence of any type of intent on the parts of the office or to george floyd. i think the prosecution overcharge is going to be a tough case, on those higher charges, but overall i thought the defense does a great job of showing the jury all the evidence, the prosecution, don't play that tape over and over again because you will numb the jury. >> the prosecution opened by showing, i'm not going to show the entirety of the 9 minutes and 28 seconds, but they show that video or a large portion of it so the defense of officer show then chimed in and said, this case is not about that.
9:08 am
that case is not the sum total of the evidence you will need to consider when considering this case. >> the evidence you will see in this case during this trial, i agree, it's nothing more than that. there is no political or social cause in this courtroom. but the evidence is far greater then 90 minutes and 29 seconds. >> is that the defense telling the jurors to disregard the social movements, the nationwide protest? what erupted in the aftermath of george floyd? >> yes, there is a court of public opinion, and the court of public opinion this officer has been convicted, but the evidence is limited.
9:09 am
the jury has to comply with the instructions by the judge so it's a whole different ball game. what they did, you noticed how they kept talking about time sequence. that is where the reaction of the officer, generality, trying to play with the emotions. the impact of what the witnesses, the civilians all, that's not the case. it's the perspective of the police officers. i will tell you right now, i've done a hundred cases and the defense is trying to make sure the jury slows down the evidence and looks at it and sequence. and what the perspective of the police officer is. >> i want to bring in the anchor of "the story" martha maccallum, she's covering every angle of this trial. after listening to the opening statements from the prosecution and defense, we've been talking about their core legal strategies, what sticks out to
9:10 am
from what you've heard so far? >> you are talking about the 9 minutes and 29 seconds, so you have the prosecution leaning into those 9 minutes and 29 seconds, that is what they want this jury, comprised of 14 individuals, half of them are either black or of color. the other half is a white half of this jury, men, women, 20-60, very diverse so each side is speaking directly to them. the prosecution wants them to speak on that tape, it's excruciating and hard to watch when you listen to the voices of the people who were witnesses. we will hear from those witnesses in the course of this trial. they want the focus to be on the video which ignited so much strife across this country throughout the course of the summer. then you heard the defense, the
9:11 am
officer who was on the scene, who had his knee on george floyd's neck. they want you to step outside of that 9 minutes, to look at the whole event, look at what happened when george floyd went into the store, the concerns people had in the store, what caused them to call the police. you talked about the $20 bill, the prosecution said, it's such a minor defense, it should have never led to the outcome that he had on the other side of the coin. you have the defense saying, there were other concerns. they thought he was drunk. they were concerned about what was happening, they called the police and brought them in. you have the police. that is the layout here. one other thing i would mention on the defense side, the attorney eric nelson has dealt with a lot of police cases in
9:12 am
minneapolis, he's defended other officers. he opened his argument with reason and reasonable doubt and common sense. that's his focus. he only has to turn one of those jurors to find reasonable doubt here. his bar is different than the bar of the constitution. >> i just talked to a civil rights attorney about this. the way in which the defense is asking the jurors before them in this trial to disregard the broader social movement, the protests that have erupted around the world, the jurors might be able to do that, but we know people in the city of minneapolis might have a tougher time. can you talk to us about the mood on the ground, what are people feeling and doing today? what is it like there? >> it's tense around george floyd square, the area where
9:13 am
this happened and there's been a visual that's been ongoing there and has grown. everybody is watching this trial closely. you have a lot of mixes of opinions, they want to reopen, they want life to move on, they ban and a very difficult position because of the dominance in that area of the protests that have happened there. you go further outside that circle, a neighborhood that has a lot of gang shootings in the neighborhood. people there feel like because of what happened last summer the police no longer come to their neighborhood. they can't defend them, they can't call because the numbers have increased so dramatically. people blame the city council. they turn this into a larger social issue and said, she wanted to abolish the police department and minneapolis. that's led to a lot of uncertainty and fear in the
9:14 am
neighborhoods that need the most protection in this area. there is a lot of dynamic outside of the court room. both of these attorney is trying to focus on the facts of this case and that's the task that's ahead of them. >> it is tough no matter what side you are on. martha, thank you for taking time to join us. we appreciate it. >> i want to bring back in the panel. we all know whether the jury is considering the broader effect that george floyd's death had on this nation. whether their order to disregard that or included in this trial. it's something that is weighed heavily on the hearts and minds of many americans, all races across the nation. the death of george floyd, no matter how you slice and dice it was a lightning rod that set off the spark that erupted here
9:15 am
around the world. talk to us about how this is one of the only stories that broke through the pandemic this year. it's a tale of two major stories, the aftermath of george floyd's death and the pandemic which has killed 500,000 americans. >> this is a historic moment and i was thinking back to the aftermath, immediate aftermath after the horrific video went viral that we just saw unfolding again on the tv. and what happens in terms of the protests and riots that took place, in terms of news coverage. you forgot there was a pandemic going on. this totally encompassed news coverage for a few months. that could happen again. i was also thinking about the jury and what it's like to be on a historic journey. by no fault of their own it's impossible to have a jury in minneapolis that doesn't have an
9:16 am
opinion on this case and that's going to be a big challenge. he laid out what they were going to say. george floyd was on drugs at the time of his death, there was no signs of asphyxiation which means they're going to say he had other health issues, fentanyl or the other drugs he was taking. and that maneuver that derek chauvin used was in the police handle, perfectly appropriate. how you square that with 9 minutes on this man's neck as an appropriate use of force is going to be another extreme challenge, especially when it's on camera. if you hear something, you feel one way about it, but when you see his face and the people who were there saying, it doesn't look like he is breathing. that tells a different story and that plays to the prosecution side of things. >> this is a question that's almost rhetorical, but it's
9:17 am
worth talking about anyway. let's say for the video of george floyd and his final moments never existed. where would we be today. would we be talking about this trial? do you think there would be a trial? there may not have been the nationwide black lives matter protest. there might not be calls around the country to defund the police. things would be different. is there anyway to imagine where we might be without that footage? >> no, but i think when we saw the footage, people of color and people within the african-american community are like, how many times this has happened when the cameras not rolling, when the video is not out there. we have seen other individuals yelling, "i can't breathe." we have seen individuals not being tried for behavior that resulted in death. i agree with what carly said quite frankly, the burden of
9:18 am
proof is always going to be on the prosecution and the defense only has to flip one person in their favor, but it is a difficult task and i agree. one, because that video is so emotive, you have this connection to the video, and regardless of someone's politics to where they stand, with black lives matter, or with what they saw happen in the protest, which were largely peaceful, there is that emotional reaction. i don't think it will be a desensitizing of the jury if they play that over and over. it's going to come down to which medical expert do you believe? the counties said and i have to read it. "pulmonary arrest that the officer because in a second autopsy that was paid for by the
9:19 am
family." >> i don't want to interrupt you. we are going to the trial now. we will get back to you. we want to go live back to the court room. i believe we will start hearing from witnesses for the defense. let's take a listen. >> you swear it's the truth and nothing but the truth. before you begin, can you give us your full name. >> my first name is jenna j-e-n-n-a, my last name. >> do you want the witnesses to leave their mask on or off? >> i would prefer if you take the mask off so we can hear you if you don't mind.
9:20 am
there we go. >> thank you. tell the jurors what your occupation is. >> i may minneapolis 911 dispatcher. >> who is your employer? >> city of minneapolis. >> how long have you been doing that? >> seven years. >> can you tell the jurors what training goes into being a dispatcher? >> a lot of training. we go through close to two years of training starting with call taking where citizens are calling 911 with their emergencies, also speaking to nonemergencies and how direct those spirit we then work with police on signing them their cad prioritizing those and also with the police officers on their off duties and warrants. there is about four different positions that we work with. >> may be i should start first with what is involved in your
9:21 am
job as a dispatcher. what are the things you do? >> specifically as a dispatcher i take the calls that are from 911 as they are prioritized and send them out to the police officers or the firefighters to handle. >> do you also, for instance -- >> this is gillian turner, this is "outnumbered." you been listening to the opening statements in the trial a police officer derek chauvin who is facing murder charges in the death of george floyd. what is happening now is the trial is kicking back and after a quick break. they will get to witness opening statements. we are tracking that live for you and we will bring you back to the court room for all the breaking news. in the meantime, i want to bring in the "outnumbered" panel. over to you. >> thank you. democrats are slamming george's new laws as they push their owne
9:22 am
saying the legislation will restore that trust, but president biden because it an atrocity, watch. >> nothing to do with decency. they passed a law saying you can't provide water for people standing in line while they're waiting to vote! you don't need anything else to know this is nothing but punitive design to keep people from voting. you can't provide water for people about to vote. give me a break. >> senator lindsey graham says democrats are the ones that are pushing dangerous policies and he called out the president and democrats like stacey abrams who compared the georgia law to the jim crow era. >> what is sick is hr one, federalizing state elections, state elections, it's the biggest power grab in the history of the country. they use the racism card to
9:23 am
advance the liberal agenda and we are tired of it. hr one is sick, not what they're doing in georgia. you can go to court and stop them, but what they're doing is destroying the ability of any state to run elections. >> i would like to start with you on this because contrary to what these sound bites have reduced this to, the tax at something different. let's get your thoughts on the actuality and how that show? >> the actuality of the bill, it does prohibit an individual poll worker from giving an individual water and i would say that discussing race within this is relevant. want to, republicans and georgia set up the laws within that state before this election and let's be clear, there would be no change in the law, and my opinion and many's opinion, that there would be changes had they not lost and georgia had turned
9:24 am
blue electing to democratic senators and joe biden. let's look at become aware of the ballot box is being taken largely communities of color. majority wise, who stands in line for hours? overwhelmingly people of color, more specifically african-americans are standing in those lines where people are giving food and giving water in the last general election. additional to that, who would not have an i.d., many seniors, people who are homeless, people who are poor, largely people of color. i think it's right to bring up race and if you give somebody water or not, what does that have to do with fraud? >> when the issue becomes about race, it becomes simple to vilify or ally who feels a certain way about it. your thoughts on the arguments
9:25 am
taken by democrats on this? >> i have a tremendous amount of respect for leslie, i'm offended by anyone who tries to play the race card because i'm black. i know this lot better than anyone else. jim crow does not exist. people who use that term don't even know what it means. it's referring to segregation of issues and policies based on a race. that does not exist. it was eliminated by the voting rights act. it's used as a throw in term, nobody knows what it means. i find it offensive for anyone to say that black people have a problem gaining identification, a driver's license, voting i.d. you look at every demographic, we want to make sure people are the right person, election integrity is to make sure we don't have fraudulent voting. let's deal with this water
9:26 am
issue. i read the law. it does not include anyone for bringing their water, it stops people with an agenda from going in and offering water and trying to induce a voter. regarding those lines, look at the facts, they happen in democratic precincts. do you know if the georgia law does? it opens additional precincts because they are in democratic precincts! i'm sick of this game! lindsey graham is correct and i will challenge and he went on the show to tell me a jim crow law exists in america. they do not. stop it! >> before we get them in here, do you want to respond briefly? >> yes, absolutely. first of all, you just said, i never said jim crow, but these districts are overwhelmingly people of color and you just
9:27 am
said it, there what, there democratic districts. more democrats voting in those districts and african-americans, not just in georgia but across the country. not just african-americans, but people of color. i'm not in a position to speak as an african-american, but i can speak to the facts. we know in georgia the two democratic senators and president biden would not have been elected without this huge outpouring of support by voters, specifically in communities of color and more specifically by african-americans. we know the republican state decision-makers of georgia with regard to voting laws didn't have any problems when the state was red, they only have a problem on its blue. when you look at, where are those ballot boxes being removed? why do you have to have any
9:28 am
information? i haven't heard anybody say black people, african-americans can't get an i.d., but people who are poor or may have a difficult time and are all african-americans poor, absolutely not. there are people who are poor that transcend the rainbow of color in this country, however disproportionately affected we know within poverty levels in georgia as well are people of color, not just african-americans, but they are included in that demographic. >> i want to get julian and carly here, what are your thoughts as it relates to d.c. as you are currently sitting there? >> i want to quickly follow up on leslie and leo. leo, you mentioned not a lot of americans understand exactly what joe biden and lindsey graham are talking about when they throw out terms like "this is a jim crow era relic."
9:29 am
can you help us set the stage? let's talk about this over on the same page. when we talk about jim crow we are talking about a series of laws passed in the 19th and 20th century that enforced racial segregation. your topline point seems to be, they don't exist anymore. the idea that this is a throwback to a point and time during which they were active is misleading. >> you don't need me to say a word. you just set it! you heard joe biden say last week, a jim crow. obama said the filibuster, they're lying! you just to find what it is. it does not exist. voting rights act, civil rights act negate all jim crow laws in this country, period. stop using that term, democrats! i'm glad i'm here on fox to set the record straight. >> we will get you on the other
9:30 am
side. vice president harris seems m.i.a. after the president named her the point person on the border crisis days after snickering if asked if she will go there. the panel is next. >> not today.

9:34 am
>> as the crisis at the border appears to worsen virtually by the week according to the data, republicans are accusing kamala harris of going m.i.a., missing in action. gut wrenching images are showing children and cages at a facility, the photos come from texas democrat henry cuellar. this is the media remains locked down. president biden past vice president harris to lead the response last week and so far she has not announced plans
9:35 am
to travel to the border. republican congressman brian babin is among those pushing for a visit sooner rather than later. take a listen. >> we have invited vice president kamala harris to attend some of our itinerary and see for herself. we thought it would be a good thing to do, for her to see exactly what is going on down there since in the past she thought president trump and his policies were cruel and inhumane and they were putting cages in cages. we have not heard yet, but we are hoping so. >> last week at president biden's first white house press core briefing, he announced what he has not taken a trip, like most disaster areas a presidential visit requires a whole heck of a lot
9:36 am
more planning on the ground. it distracts from the emergency response. he said his governments and crisis trying to deal with this surge of people, but does that explanation scratch the itch? >> it does not arose we wouldn't see any president at any areas of crisis and that is what the president's job is. imagine being the president or the vice president, what is the first thing you do? you get on an airplane and go to the affected area. president biden said during the inauguration that he would be the president for all people and if you asked the border patrol or the folks living along the southern border they would say he is failing at that job. i spoke to a rancher and new mexico this morning and he said while children and family units are getting attention he is seeing groups of young male migrants walking past his house
9:37 am
every night and border patrol has told him to be careful on his own property. president biden feels like he can't go down there because then it would cause, it would mean he would be admitting that this is a crisis that rises to the level of a presidential visit. one thing he can do quickly is implement reimplement mexico, but he's probably not going to do that because that would mean his policies were right and his were wrong. we have learned yesterday that border patrol thinks this crisis is going to last for seven months. that means this is going to be seven months of people coming into the country, very expensive, and seven months of people claiming asylum who don't legitimately have asylum claims and that creates a backlog for people who do belong here for reasons that affect their own personal safety. >> i want to bring you in here
9:38 am
because i'm guessing you don't see the situation the same way that carly just laid out. tell us how you see it. >> i wouldn't say that. americans, whether they are democratic or republican realize we have a problem. we have democrats and republicans that say this is something that's been kicked down the road. i don't think and i would hope the vice president is not m.i.a., but working on what is going to be the strategy and the policy dealing with the northern triangle nations, dealing with mexico, and the root cause. until we deal with the root cause, we haven't been able to for 17 years. one of the reasons border patrol can say, this will happen in the next seven months is because they know what it's like historically when the weather warms up and when we don't have winter.
9:39 am
and also, covid numbers are reducing in countries throughout the world. the bottom line, i do think the vice president should go to the border. it could be some logistical problem like the president had not going to the border. i think she should tell us, but more so it's better if she tells us, okay, i've met with the leaders of these nations, this is what we've concluded and what we plan to do. >> somebody who wants to go to the border and says they will go soon, former president trump. he told us that on saturday night. my question, we all know that former presidents are not supposed to interfere with current president's foreign policy. republicans love the idea that president trump will go to the border, so how does he do that, avoid the impression that he's meddling? >> that playbook no longer exist
9:40 am
because barack obama broke that program, he violated that policy of staying quiet. i think it's important, what donald trump did was provide national security. chris wallace asked jen psaki about whether or not rolling back the trump policy hurts this country. she could not give him any credit. our border was secure and last week joe biden lied to the american public when he said more people, more illegal aliens are returning back to their own country. that's a lie! we have been bombarded. not only who have covid, but they are given hotel rooms and accommodations unlike our national guard troops and our homeless populations. it's an embarrassment at the southern border. >> we have to leave it there, but coming up we will talk about president biden's economic, tax hikes for wealthy americans and corporations as he rolls out the

9:46 am
as it stands the national debt is more than $28 trillion. the budget office projects it will double over the next 30 years. leo, that doubling means that will be over 206% of our gdp, what is going to pay for all of this? >> are great, great, great, great, great grandchildren in the future because it's impossible to pay for it right now. they keep using the covid scare as the base for all the stimulus money. they haven't even spent the money that's been earmarked in the previous administration. let me be clear, i broke down last week crying because i'm so sick of children being exploited. open up the school, the economy before we spent another taxpayer dime! they won't do that because they use the democrats, the machinery is using a covid scare to induce
9:47 am
all of this legislation. it's being used to placate they left, the socialists in the green new deal. >> apparently in the infrastructure side of things what will pay for that will be taxes on wealthier individuals and that all the domestic side it will be businesses and investors. how will any of that not hamstring the economy? this economy that's already sluggish. how will that present, how will that achieve i should say the goals that this administration is trying to get when ultimately we know what it does? >> so much to say. leo, you know i love you, but you know the federal government's don't open the schools, i was in blue l.a. county and my kids, holly lee are back at school part time after spring break, full time. the budget, you gave the
9:48 am
playbook, i give the republican playbook, for my side of this? the republican playbook, we care about the debt until we are the power and party. no one talked about adding to the debt during the four years under president trump where republicans had their guy and republicans had more control than they do know in congress. now all of the sudden they're back to the party about worrying about debt and how we will pay for it. infrastructure has been something that presidents and congressional members have wanted to get done. his bipartisan support among the elected officials, how do you spend that money? job creation, g.o.p., 1.9 trillion with the tax bill not worried about that, but the covid 1.9 price tag, but infrastructure will create jobs and people forget, it's not just
9:49 am
