>> first up, on msnbc, vowing to be heard, from new york, to washington, d.c., to phoenix. >> cities seeing some of the biggest protests since the killing of george floyd. >> this tragic has actually touched so many hearts and made people havehe conversations the have been avoiding for years. >> i expect that folks will continue to be out in the streets until we get high reform. >> it is high time black people are able to live equallia anybody else.

>> black lives. >> it is sunday, june 7th, good to have you with us, we recap what happened overnight. >> the latest on the protests, there were huge crowds, all across the country, dominating the streets of american cities and towns, large and small, from coast to coast, all of this as fall out continuing from the videotaped killing of george floyd on memorial day. >> most were peaceful. a few skirmishes, police using projectiles outside the justice center. >> a tactic from hong kong, where they used umbrellas to block the tear gas. tensions are high between police and protesters, leading up to this moment.

>> quite a chaotic few minutes there for protesters, police try to break up the crowd. >> another standoff in fredrick, maryland. police blocked the protesters, from the road. >> and the statue was toppled and abandoned following protests in the area. >> the golden gate bridge, for a march in san francisco, traffic held up in both directions, protesters took a knee for 8:46.

>> and the brooklyn bridge in new york city. watch carefully, the walkway, where the cars are driving, outed by demonstrators. >> not far from the white house, protesters lingered late into the night. and louisville, kentucky. balloons released for briana taylor. also killed by police in a raid. >> and george floyd, those took a moment to remember his life. >> i will never hear his voice, or get his hugs, or hear him say i love you again. houston, he will be buried. in times square, following large demonstrations that went beyond

thet 8:00 curfew. >> check out the powerful scene, thise, is protecters marching across. brooklyn is where we find corey. we saw the protesters on the brooklyn bridge. what should we expect? >> expect a largely peaceful day, as protests enter week two. good morning. in brooklyn, the curfew ended. it didn't matter, as nypd allowed peaceful protesters to continue to assemble past 8:00. we followed along as thousands marched from union square to washington park. it was a large, peaceful affair, marching with a band. calling for reform. calling for changes, specific changes, that was lead by

musician john baptise. >> a hundred million people that didn't vote. i am spreading a message, that we have to pro2e6test and vote. we are here. >> referee: you heard that specific call from john there, that is really been the message. protests have begun to be peaceful. and honed the message to calls on specific law changes. governor couple koekoe.

>> and the march and rally is planned if for noon guys. >> msnbc, brooklyn brim in the background, thank, corey. >> and out to minnesota. sgltd mayor was there at the protest, and got booed. morgan. >> reporter: yes, it was a stunning scene. we have seen the protests go in, day in, day out, here in the epicenter, in minnesota. we have never seen the tone that we saw yesterday. when the mayor of minnesota,

jacob fray addressed the crowd, and heard a resounding chant, when he refused to defund the police department. take a listen to it. >> go home jacob, go home! shame! shame! shame! shame! shame! >> and you can hear that massive crowd shouting shame and go home! fray g leaves that scene. keep in mind, he was elected on a platform of trying to repair the tice bwtween the community and the police department. to witness that scene, again, it

is incredible to see. we will be waiting to see if there is an official response from the mayor.he in the meantime, this ever-present crowd at the sacred site now around the corner from where george floyd lost his life. with the heavy rain overnight, the crowd is smau diminished. they pulled tarps over the flowers and signs brought here bygn supporters. protests are planned here in minneapolis today. any exact location is yet to be shared. the body of george floyd has safely arrived in houston. the chief saying that floyd a family arrived. prior to, we have seen in minneapolis and north carolina, ispo expected to have quite a large turn-out. >> jacob frye, the crowd there

saying it will be remembered at electionme time. >> he had been popular to this moment. >> and before reaching the door to the fortress that now surrounds of white house. monica, talk about the tenure, the tone of those protests, and the reaction, if any from the president. >> reporter: they were peaceful. good morning to you. the president did not have public events on his schedule yesterday. we heard him from his social medias megaphone, trying to impugn the size of the crowds. they were lowered than expected. his own army secretary predicted 100,000 and 200,000 would show up in washington, d.c. to honor

the life of george floyd. though estimates vary, they do say tens of thousands of people came together, to the president's front lawn. you see a fortified security presence, with the new fencing that goes up eight to 10 feet. extends beyond a larger perimeter than a week ago. on a weekend, where the president planned to be at his new jersey golf resort. aides a couple of days ago, decided that would be potentially bad optics to have the president of the united states at one of his private properties as protesters descend on the white house. he remains in washington, d.c., with no plans to speak or go anywhere. this comes as the feud with the mayor of d.c. continues, he

continues and retweeted his attacks on her. yet to acknowledge important steps she took in the last couple of days to commission a muralis on 16th street. in the giant yellow letters and rename thele plaza in front of lafayet lafayette, black lives matter square. tz today, he may continue to talk about crowd sizes, something that president has been obsessed with since his inauguration, he has been talking about the thousands he gathers at his rallies. he doesn't want to acknowledge how large of protests were. yesterday was the second largest gathering. they remain peaceful, with a decrease in police activity. >> we have seen is in

minneapolis and los angeles, calls to defupd the police. whether it would work, what would replace police officers? next. introducing new voltaren arthritis pain gel, the first and only full prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel

>> the u.s. is entering the third straight week of protest, following the deaths of george floyd and bre anna taylor. a number of videos show officers using excessive force on protesters, at the same time the protesters are protesting police brutality. >> gidth brown desantis. showing the police officer showing allegedly a police officer forcing her to the ground there. >> police are aggressors, that their culture, their policies,

and their practices, lead to the harm of american citizens. that it is now time for us to do something drastically different. >> a lot of protesters are calling for that difference to be defunding the police. can you explain what it would mean. how it would work and if you agree with that? >> sure, advancement project has signed on to a platform to defund the police. the reason we are calling for that, it is not just the killings, it is the killings of people like george floyd, it is the policies. no knock warrants, that lead to the death of briana taylor. it is the forced confessions, that we saw that lead to the convick of five young teenagers in new york city for a rain that they didn't commit. it is the stop and frisk

policies. what we are saying is that we have to do something different. we have to reimagine safety in our communities. in chicago, we shouldn't be spending 30 million on police in schools. let's get police out of schools. instead, what we would like to see is investments in the community. >> is defunding the police the same thing as abolishing the police? >> it is a trajectory towards abolishing the police. the idea is, if we were to invest in our communities in a real way. if we were able to get job programs and housing, and health care, that our communities would be able to thrive. that right now, what we are seeing, we are in austerity period because of our economy. what we should be doing, when we make the budget cuts, first

turn toward the police. we have to shift our priorities. we have to invest in people right now. >> i understand there is a bit -- there is some problems with law and order. this defending the police. you saw the mayor of minneapolis get booed because he wouldn't support it. it is gaining traction. there are laws being broken. if you defund the police, who polices the community? >> first of all, if you look at a place like los angeles, they cut $100 million from the police budget. take that money and reinvest it in all kinds of interventions for young people, restorative justice practices that is not to say that we are not going to need some kind of body that

actually enforces the law. we don't need it to be as big as it is right now. in oakland, 40% of city bblg on the police. meanwhile, people are suffering, we are in pain. why still invest in a system that is not only killing us, the same system that lead to the mass incarceration of black people. let's think about what our communities need. what we are seeing is an overly aggressive policing, it sent again, just the killings, the force, the use of force that protesters are responsing right now. they are exposing themselves right now. what we are saying it is time for us to think about something different that invests in communities, in pain, and suffering, so that we can thrive. >> where in the world has this concept worked?

>> is there an example? >> well, we often look to white community, white communities are not policed like black communities are. there are jump outs, police literally jump out of their car and attack people and throw them to the ground. there are no knock warrants, this is not something that white community is in america is not familiar with. the fact that they are not over policed or not over criminalized. look, we can do better than this. black americans deserve better than this. and i think this is what america is calling for. it is exciting we are having this moment to think differently about how we police ourselves and how we get to safety. >> you participated in a talk, i believe, one was with killer

mike, activist. you said, it is still not going to bring justice to black people. can you elaborate on that. >> yes, we know that we can get the arrests of officers. if we still maintain the policies and practices and cultures of police departments, black people are still going to be stop and frisked, still thrown to the ground, still going to be terrorized by the police every day, still will have wrongful convictions, there is more to just ending the chokeholds, we want to do that we need to have other policies and changes in place. police officers get off too easily under the law, there is qualified immunity. we are saying get rid of that let them be open to liability,

they will change their practices, and culture. >> people hoping it is in fact a movement. >> thank you. >> the most powerful black woman in d.c. and the president. >> she is taking to the streets to defy the president. don't take mavyret with atazanavir... ...or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. if you've had or have serious liver problems other than hep c, there's a rare chance they may worsen. signs of serious liver problems may include yellowing of the skin,

>> welcome back. this sunday, another day of protests are set, calling for justice. all of course, in the wake of george floyd's death in minneapolis, two weeks ago tomorrow. thousands marching across the country. >> most of the demonstrations were peaceful. tepgzs did rise in seattle yesterday, police used projectiles to move back demonstrators.

>> a scary scene as police tried to break up the crowds. and a tribute to floyd in north carolina. >> i will keep it real. if there was four brothers that threw a police officer on the ground and put one of them put his knee in that officer's neck, and killed him on video, while the other three stood around and flexed. there would have been a national manhunt for all four of them. cities across the globe

protest. >> within of nearly 20 in berlin to kick off the weekend. >> carl was there, and carl, this movement was at alexander, 15,000 showed up? >> this is a large area, one of the largest public areas you can find in berlin. protest organizers planned for 1,500. it ended up being 10 times that amount. it was so big, police had to erect barricades to keep protesters from entering the square due to safety and coronavirus concerns. this was a diverse, young group of people. this is one of 20 simultaneous protests taking place in germany. the protests in solidarity for

what is happening in the usz with the death of george floyd. many germans are calling out their own country for similar issues of racism including policing. they were saying the names of many black people who died at the hands of police. in speaking with protesters here, given that background, they see themselves in the lives and in the deaths of george floyd. here is what a protester told me. >> it is happening over and over again. my family is black, i am black. seeing how they are treated is disgusting, i can't stand to think that other countries, some

people are racist towards me, not in the same as in theus a i can't stand the thought of people havingings to experience that behavior toward them every day. >> there are an estimated one million people with african roots living in germany. germany does not collect specif specifics. they group them in one large group that is something that activists are trying to change. the main organizer of the protest on stage yesterday said, we have made history. the black community in germany, this is a milestone for them. this is a group that is marginalize marginaliz marginalized here. >> i want to bring your

attention to something else, that has been following, this headline not a lot of people are paying attention to, related to u.s. troops in germany. the trump administration plans to withdraw 10,000 troops from germany. what is the reaction like there? >> reporter: that is a significant number, a quarter of the upon trys stationed here in the country. on the left, many activists and politicians working for years to get the removal of u.s. weapons and entire military bases. if you talk to the majority party, many politicians saying this move is regrettable. some calling it deplorable. president trump has been seen to be distancing himself, some are worried in germany this is another signal to russia that we

no longer come to the defense of our allies. >> this benefits putin and now, the mayor, was cheered, marching, she continuous a public spat with the president. >> that has been escalating, amid police brutality protests. koe founder for the rainy center for public policy. >> his appeal to the community to fight racial injust. >> i wanted to start with the mayor, the federal law enforcement and personal are enflaming protesters.

what do you make of the letter? >> i think the mayor is trying to show true leadership in a way we are not seeing on the federal level. she is pushing back on what the president is saying, supporting the demstrags, this is peaceful protesters who are exhausted. we are seeing in the modern day, since the civil rights movement, a push back on the rhetoric and hate that they have experienced for 400 years, there is more to be done. we need to see policies that address systemic racism. she is definitely one of the leaders on the state and local level, pushing toward making true change. >> the idea whether or not to deploy military troops to quell protests is a controversy around

the country. you are a veteran, you served in "operation iraqi freedom." what is your take on if military should be involved? >> the last thing we want national guard members are part of who we are. the last thing we want to do is put them in a position, in which they are not properly tranched or equipped to engage with people on domestic issues and law enforcement like this. there is a reason we call them police. they work with us to make our communities safer. that isn't the job of the national guard. it is not the job of active duty military. you have seen general dempsey, and secretary madison, others who stepped up, i believe you folked had admiral mcgraven on

msnbc not long ago, stating his destain about this activity. >> with the mayor, do you get a sense of any of this back and forth is personal? where the president had a tough relationship in fighting back strong black women. >> i would say that this is a situation in which there should be any political pieces to it and definitely not any partisan aspects of it what you are seeing at least from the mayor's side is an african american black woman doing her best to lead her community through a difficult time. yet president is not joining in the bipartisan effort, support and voices of people saying no more, we will not tolerate

hatred in our community is beyond me. what i will say, the mayor is a strong black woman whose opinion matters and voice is being heard. i will do everything that i can to lift her up. it is not enough, yet. it is the start. what we need are more opportunities for black peernlgs a larger voice, and ensures that we are doing everything that we can to uplift and support professionals, we need to hire them, support them and love them. she is ensuring that that happens. >> you say, unless fundamental changes are made, the ability to function as a society is undermined. increasing opportunities, what other specific reform would you like to see? >> well, first, on the national security front on this, we saw that state department spokesman

spoke out with regard to what is happening in hong kong, and the foreign ministry responded with, i can't breathe. if we continue to have this, we have a moral imperative to ensure that our voice, as a leader and human rights defender isn't lost. we need to see more young african americans who have the chance to intern on the hill and work, to hire them in junior levels so they can meet the rerequizets necessary to lead father into their careers, i want to see more schools, elite schools, more schools, provide more opportunities forp to hire professors ti, they can be

mentored by individual who is can help to guide and direct their careers and be sure that they are able to meet the standards necessarily to do the jobs. so many african american black professionals, and professionals of color, who have been doing this. put them on more panels, have them on shows like this. one of the few that often pop up. msnbc does a great job, in those who speak, let's have more of them. it is not enough to have two, three of us. we need helpeds, they exist. we need to come together and work as professionals to see those voices living up. >> living up to your namesake on this sunday morning, taking us to church a bit there. thank you. >> protesters could be putting themselves at risk of getting coronavirus. should protesters be concerned

as well? subaru and our retailers are donating fifty million meals to feeding america, to help feed those who now need our help. its all part of our commitment to our communities through subaru loves to help. love, it's what makes subaru, subaru.

turning now to the latest on the coronavirus, the global death toll topping 400,000. new york city, one of the global epicenters of the pandemic will begin reopening tomorrow. construction and manufacturing, and retail stores for curbside pick up.

governor cuomo said the numbers are at the lowest. >> president trump, travelled to maine to tour a facility that makes medical swabs used for coronavirus testing. now there is a new report, that says the swabs made during his visit will be tossed into the trash. telling usa today, it will have to disdard the swabs, they are not saying why or how many. >> you see, president trump, not wearing masks. >> it was a requirement at the facility. >> and banner health that says the icu's are already at full capacity. the number of patients on ventilators tripled in less than two weeks, the number of new cases in arizona are surging,

saturday marked the state's fifth consecutive day of high numbers of new cases, more than a thousand reported. arizona, completely open for business. >> the leader of the white house pandemic response said that he is concerned that demonstrations of the last two weeks, may cause a spike in coronavirus infeces, dr. fauci, telling the times, it is the perfect recipe for spreading the virus. >> it is a delicate balance. the reason for demonstrating are valid. yet, the demonstration itself puts one at additional risk. the only thing we can do as public health officials is to keep warning people, be careful if you are going out, please make sure you wear a mask and keep it on at all times. >> joining us, rob davidson, an

emergency room physician. i looked from afar, and trying to see if i saw a mask among them. obviously, people weren't social distancing. will this have a long-term effect? >> it certainly could, we won't know for several weeks, a protest i was at last weekend, 90% of people wearing masks, 100% had them on around their neck, after my shift, the protest i will go on the invent, it says, please wear masks. i look at video from a vegas casino, nobody is wearing masks, and lake of the ozarks pool, nobody is wearing masks. reopening in states without testing, and without a president wearing masks in public, are far greater than what we are seeing,

in the locations where people are observing that recommendation. >> going back to arizona, and states reopened for business, seeing an increase in cases, experts are worried there could be a correlation, cdc guidelines recommended it before places reopen, they would see a decline in case numbers, what do you think will happen in those states that are still on the rise? >> i think this is the big concern. we see case numbers going up in places like florida, texas, north carolina, south carolina, arizona. in all of those places, the test positivity rate is going up. it is a perfect recipe, two weeks from now, having icu and deaths. we have a president not using

the defense production act, not getting us the equipment that we need. this reckless reopening, a recipe for disaster. >> lake of the ozach, they were told to quarantine afterwards. should all of these people quarantine? >> i think, people again are largely wearing masks, people need to be cautious. african americans are suffering a death rate twice that of the general population. a black man has a 1 and 1,000 chance of being killed by a police officer, twice that of a white man. showing that people are not ignorant going to the protests, they understand the 400 year risk of structural racism.

>> many in wisconsin stood on line during the height of the pandemic, to vote. knowing the risk. >> thank you, doctor. >> thank you. >> major cooperations are getting involved in activism nationwide. >> not everybody is happy about it. what is behind the push back behind companies taking a stand.

tomorrow marks two weeks since the killing of george floyd in minneapolis, the original catalyst for the protests sweeping the nation. now corporate america is responding in its own form of support. >> here's a look. dizzying no look at but some of the companies pledging to fight racial injustice. many matsching donations from employees creating incentives to get their fraends famiiends and to donate to organizations that

fight social injustice. >> good to see you, sibile. a lot of tech companies pledging millions. walmart one of them. what can they do to affect change. >> corporate america, the reaction to protests you see across the country are donating millions of dollars to social organizations fighting racial injustice. at least 50 companies doing this, just to name a few, walmart pledged $100 million over five years through a new center on racial equity. airbnb donating half a million dollars to black lives matter. amazon donating $10 million across several social justice organizations including the naacp. facebook, $10 million. amazon also donating and google donating. >> some people could, a lot of these companies, backlash, for not donating enough.

amazon valued at a trillion dollars-plus and donating $10 million to the cause. it is early. we'll jobs report showed the u.s. economy may be turning the curve of unemployment as businesses reopen across the country. minorities are hit hard. you saw the unemployment numbers go up for minorities but also asians, bottom of the report, also, may indicate the overall number could be way off? >> that's right, kendis. so the bureau of labor sti statistics said there's a miscalculation that may have happened where the unemployment rate officially given 13.3% for the month of may is actually 3 percentage points higher than that. when you look what's happening for unemployment for black

workers, it's significantly higher. we saw friday, president trump, celebrating the fact that the jobs numbers were better, but what we're seeing is that may not have, in fact, been the case. >> and any idea when we would get the real numbers from the bureau? >> yes. the bureau of labor statistics said come monday they're going to clarify what happened with the miscalculation and let us know what the actual, official, unemployment rate is going to be, but that is significant, because we really rely on that bureau to tell us the state of employment in this country. >> so 13%. the president celebrated it. it may actually be at 16%, higher than april was. we'll find out soon. >> sibila marcellus, good to see you. that will do it for us. >> we'll see you again next weekend? >> alex witt is in the house.

congressman al green of texas, talking about his work on a bill that would address racial injustice and inequality in this country. we've been missing. maybe it'll help us see just how connected we all are. and maybe... just maybe, if we look at the big picture... it'll remind us just how amazing freedom really is. can leave you holding your breath. ♪ but bristol myers squibb is working to change things. by researching new kinds of medicines that could help you live longer. including options that are chemo-free. because we're committed to bringing new hope
