6:00 am
sam stein, your final thoughts. >> on this friday morning. >> i have basketball on the show going on 12 years now. i remember the first time i was on the show and there was a mass shooting overnight we had to cover and it was aurora. i thought in the moment this was incredible and horrifying. this can't happen. i calculated this morning, i think i have been on the show five, six times and we wake up with an overnight and high-profile mass shooting we had to cover, today being i believe the sixth. and it just feels in a sad way so normal now. so part of our culture in a way that aurora never felt on that morning we work up and we had to cover it. it's a sad commentary where we are in society half a dozen times i have come on the show to talk about these things. >> it is sad and sickening and it is simply not enough to sit back and accept the status quo.
6:01 am
sam stein, thank you so much. and thank you to sean patrick maloney, a good friend of this show. >> he's a great guy. >> we love having him on. just trying to push him to make sure democrats are ready for all of the lies that come their way. that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle is coming. thank you for your patience. have a good weekend. >> see you monday. hi, there, i'm stephanie ruhle. it's friday, april 16th and this morning we are waking up to news of another mass shooting. this one in indianapolis, where a gunman opened fire at a federal express facility overnight, killing eight people and injuring multiple others before he killed himself. this morning as some families are waiting to hear whether their own loved ones are safe, an investigation is under way. police trying to determine if the shooter worked at the facility. they will be holding a press conference in the next hour. nbc's antonia hylton is in indianapolis with the latest. antonia, what do we know at this
6:02 am
point? >> good morning, stephanie. the community here in indianapolis is grappling with all of this this morning, yet another horrific mass shooting. what we know is late last night a gunman entered the fedex building right behind me here at the airport, shot and killed eight workers there and ultimately, according to police, shot and killed himself. police are still actively working the scene. investigators are there working to get in touch with loved ones and people who worked there and also people who fled that night and they're trying to seek information from. the police chief here spoke on the "today" show this morning and said thankfully for those who were injured by the shooter and sought medical care, all of them now are in stable condition. i want you to listen to what one of the fedex employees shared earlier today. >> i can't believe it, you know. i'm going to work to get some money. why would they bring guns to work and argument so bad they
6:03 am
shoot. it's about time to get to break i'm about to get my cell phone from the locker, you can't get to the break room. we have an active shooter, we don't know what's going on. at that time -- it just took a while to process. >> i just emphasize that right now we still don't know the identity of the gunman or his motives, although there are certainly some of the employees suggesting he may have known them there. the police have not confirmed this to reporters yet. stephanie, around 10:30 a.m., we're expecting a press conference which we will be able to get many more answers on some of the critical questions as we hope to find out more about what unfolded last night. >> waking up to another mass shooting today. antonia, thank you. meanwhile, across the midwest, questions in anger over multiple police-involved shootings are growing. in the city of chicago, they are reeling after police released body cam video that captured the killing of a 13-year-old, adam toledo. he was fatally shot during a chaotic encounter with police
6:04 am
last month. the family calling for justice as the mayor calls for calm across the city n brooklyn center, minnesota, hours after ex-officer kim potter made her first appearance in court, people gathered for a fifth straight night to protest the killing of daunte wright, who was shot and killed by potter on sunday. and nearby in minneapolis, just ten miles away, the trial of derek chauvin is entering its final days after chauvin officially declined to take the stand yesterday. each side set to make closing arguments on monday, and then it will be up to the jury. the city already preparing for what could be a violent reaction to the verdict. rehema ellis is in chicago, morgan chesky in brooklyn center and gabe gutierrez in minneapolis. rehema, take us to chicago. what's the latest? >> good morning, stephanie. right now we're told that another rally is planned for this evening following the release of that police body cam video. the family of adam toledo continues to call for calm.
6:05 am
we should warn viewers what you're about to see can be very disturbing. >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> overnight pain in the streets of chicago over the deadly encounter captured on dramatic police body cam video. an officer responding to reports of shots fired in the early morning hours of march 29th began chasing 13-year-old adam toledo on foot. >> stop right [ bleep ] now! show me your [ bleep ] hands! stop! >> reporter: the teenager shot in the chest. the officer radioed for help and applied cpr. >> where are you shot, man? where are you shot? stay with me. stay with me. >> reporter: later toledo was pronounced dead at the scene. the city's civilian office of police accountability now investigating, releasing police records from that night, which state toledo was armed with a weapon. in an edited police video, they say a gun was found at the scene and say toledo threw it away
6:06 am
milliseconds before being shot. the family's lawyer said none of that matters. >> the officer screamed at him, show me your hands, adam complied, turned around and his hands were empty when he was shot in the chest. >> those same documents identify the officer who fired his weapon as 34-year-old eric stillman. attorneys who represent the officer say in a statement their client was faced with a life-threatening and deadly force situation. overnight, former washington, d.c. police chief and philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey saying, the officer's actions were reasonable. >> in my opinion, tragic as it was, the shooting was reasonable. it was literally less than a second from the time the officer saw that gun in his hands to the time he fired that shot. >> reporter: chicago's mayor telling reporters she has seen no evidence the teen shot at police but would know say if she believed toledo was holding a
6:07 am
weapon. the mayor growing emotional when talking about the video. >> no parents should ever have a video broadcast wildly of their child's last moments. much less be placed in the terrible situation of losing their child in the first place. >> put your hands behind your back! >> reporter: also at the scene that night, 21-year-old ruben roman, arrested and charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and endangerment of a child, a child whose mother is now grieving. >> they could have shot at his legs, arms, up in the air, i don't know, but not kill my baby! >> officials say toledo's family was shown the police body cam video earlier in the week and later the family agreed these images should be shared with the public. as for the officer involved in the shooting, chicago
6:08 am
superintendent of police say officer stillman has been placed on administrative duties for 30 days. stephanie? >> rehema, thank you. this is a tough story to cover. morgan, kim potter had her first court appearance yesterday. what are the next steps? this is the officer who shot and killed daunte on sunday. >> yes, steph, good morning. we know potter had that brief short hearing via zoom with the judge. that was her second public appearance after turning herself in. she heard the official charges against her, manslaughter in the second degree. at this point the next court hearing for her is set for may 17th. we do know demonstrations were conducted again here outside the brooklyn center police department last night before state patrol and national guard moved in enforcing the that 10:00 p.m. curfew yet again. we do not know if anything further is planned but we know last night things were slightly more peaceful than in prior nights. ott fence behind me that's been erected by authorities to increase the perimeter around
6:09 am
the station, dozens of people placed air fresheners on that chain-link fence, those being one of the reasons they first pulled over daunte wright, along with expired tabs before that deadly encounter. the attorney for kim potter is declining to respond at this time. and the attorney for daunte wright making it clear they do not believe these charges are enough to hold her accountable, saying it's very clear when she pointed that gun at daunte wright and pulled the trigger, it was a very intentional act and they're calling for this case to be -- to have higher charges. we do know the mayor of brooklyn center requested this case be taken to the state teergs office by minnesota governor tim walls but that has yet to happen at this point in time. right now, steph, we wait and see what's happening going forward but i had a chance to
6:10 am
speak to a gentleman who came out here. he grew up in brooklyn center yesterday and told me he just wanted to witness this for himself because having grown up in this area, he still doesn't feel comfortable being a black man in this community. steph? >> gabe, closing arguments are set for monday in the chauvin trial. how soon can we see a verdict? >> hi there, steph. that's anybody's guess at this point but, yes, as you mentioned, the judge now setting closing arguments for monday here at the courthouse, heavily fortified courthouse in downtown minneapolis. we've actually seen more of a visible national guard presence now that the jury is preparing to begin deliberations on monday. today, stephanie, the judge, prosecution and defense will continue hammering out the exact wording for jury instructions. stephanie, this, as you know, has been a remarkable trial. 14 days of testimony wrapping up yesterday with derek chauvin as
6:11 am
well deciding not to testify in his own defense, saying he would invoke his fifth amendment right. stephanie, among the prosecution and the defense, both sides have said this trial is all about the actions of derek chauvin, but among many people in this community, they view this as american policing on trial here. stephanie? >> this is some morning. three separate reporters covering three separate killings involving police. thank you all so much. joining us now to discuss further, paul butler, former federal prosecutor and author of "choke hold: policing black men." let's start in chicago. your reaction to the body cam video officials released yesterday. >> stephanie, the video shows an officer leaving his car and 20 seconds later a 13-year-old child is dead. the video does not appear to show the child threatening the officer. that would be the only legal
6:12 am
justification for the offer firing his weapon. people say if george floyd had just gotten into the police, if george floyd had just complied, well, adam complied. the officer said, put your hands up. adam put his hands up and the cop shot him dead. >> of course, every one of these situations is different. it's crucial to understand that. but the outcomes are the same. does all of this speak to the larger policing system and reforms that are needed? right now what is the status of federal police reform? >> so the george floyd justice in policing act is pending before the senate. it's passed the congress, but there's a lot of senators who are against it. when you look at the headlines, it's hard to understand why. the bill just contained common
6:13 am
sense reforms. stephanie, one is if the police should resolve a situation without killing somebody, that's what they should be required to do. they should only use deadly force as a last resort. it's common sense but it's not the law now. >> and why isn't it? we're sitting here day in and day out arguing about defunding the police, and when you actually look at all of the money joe biden is putting forward, much of it is for frontline workers, including police. so even this idea that the police are being defunded isn't happening. why aren't these common sense reforms that would make everyone safer happening? >> you know, so much of the politics of the criminal justice system has been infected with race and anti-black bias. i think that's one explanation. another is everyone wants to be safe, but i think people don't understand that sometimes when you have people with guns and
6:14 am
the power to arrest show up to deal with 94% of police calls that are about nonviolent, minor infractions, that having those people with guns show up sometimes makes people less safe, not more safe. so we really do need to reimagine public safety and think about alternatives of first responders when people have problems ranging from mental health crises to even questions, stephanie, like who should enforce traffic laws? in cases this week we've seen black people killed that start out over a traffic infraction for things like air freshener dangling from windows. >> paul, why wouldn't we want to do this, right? this would be better for police officers. it would be better for all people in public safety. what would be the will against this? >> stephanie, you're exactly
6:15 am
right. my police officer friends are often the first people to say, we get calls for situations that are really social problems or homelessness or mental ill or addiction issues, and we're not equipped to deal with that. i think president biden and the congress are on the right track. this has been a love evolution but i think slowly we are seeing reforms in the criminal legal process. some people say reform is not enough. transformation is actually what we need. reform is a good start. >> let's start with something. paul, thank you so much for joining me this morning. i appreciate it. and we are still monitoring that breaking news out of indianapolis where eight people were killed in a mass shooting at a fedex facility. we will take you back there live when we get any updates. we know president biden will be briefed on the incident later this morning and the governor there tweeting, as we've been on the air, that flags will be flying half-staff across the state. when we come back, if this
6:16 am

6:18 am
6:19 am
today marks 100 days since
6:20 am
the insurrection at the u.s. capitol and we're still trying to get our arms around exactly what went wrong. on thursday the capitol police inspector general testified the big changes that are needed include money for training, upgraded intelligence and significant change in culture to focus more on preventing events like january 6th instead of just responding to them. nbc's vaughn hillyard is on the u.s. capitol where he was 100 days ago. and vaughn inside the rotunda. 100 days later, what has changed? the threat is still there. >> good morning, stephanie. unlike 100 days ago, there's police and national guard present. on the evening before 100 days ago, there was no law enforcement anywhere on the capitol. we will pan over. it was the protesters who marched right down here on
6:21 am
pennsylvania avenue after president trump spoke, they came here, arrived here to the west front lawn where we stood. again, no law enforcement personnel to be seen. you can see right now, there's still a nine-foot fence that's up. that's new since january 6th. it would have potentially stopped folks from coming onto these grounds if it had been up on january 6th. but why does that fence remain here 100 days later? why do 2,000 national guard members remain here around the capitol complex? it's because of the very evident deficiencies within the capitol police force that remain. just yesterday michael bolton testified in a house committee in which he noted the inefficiencies in planning, development, leadership that led to the january 6th colossal failure. there were police shields that shattered because of either age or how they were stored. he also noted the capitol police
6:22 am
did not initially carry these heavy munitions, these stun grenades that could have potentially secured this perimeter and pushed back those thousands that were trying to enter the grounds. lieutenant general russell honorary also noted this police force needs hundreds of person until to adequately maintain a strong police force and they're underfunded. again, this fence remains here, this police and national guard force, remain because of the very evident deficiencies within the capitol police force today. >> garrett, we have a half a dozen congressional committees looking into the problem. what are we going to do about it? >> the most important congressional committee working on this is probably the appropriations committee, who is getting ready to release a supplemental spending bill to essentially throw money at the capitol police and at hardening the capitol complex itself to try to make this entire complex a little safer. we know from the problems vaughn laid out that the capitol police
6:23 am
need money to do things like professionalize their civil disturbance unit, make sure they can train together full time and that's a unit full of the best if something like this happens again. but the ig laid out what he said is the single most important change that money could be used for and that's beefing up the intelligence bureau of the capitol police department. take a listen to some of this testimony. >> we need an intelligence bureau. right now it's considered a intelligence division. it needs to be a full service, comprehensive bureau. with that said, they need additional training within the analysts who are going through the intelligence as it comes in, being trained to read it, understand it, disseminate it. >> the money to fund that could be appropriated perhaps as early as this month. speaker pelosi told reporters
6:24 am
yesterday but the problem here could be just hiring more capitol police officers. that's a process that just takes time. you can't just go out on the street and find the well-qualified necessary to do the hard work of protecting us up here. >> it's been 100 days and the threat is still real. garrett and vaughn, thank you. now our new msnbc sclousive, secret facebook groups trumpeting far right anthologies and conspiracy theories and spreading not just among your average joe but spreading among some of the military's most elite units and it's raising serious alarm bells about rad radicalization. i want to go right to carol lee for more. carol, this is scary. what's going on? >> yes, they looked at hundreds of posts in secret facebook groups for these special forces, we found a different side to these elite warriors. things like misinformation saying that the 2020 election was stolen, racist comments,
6:25 am
particularly directed at defense secretary lloyd austin for his e6r9s to try to root out extremism in the military and, steph, even qanon conspiracy theory, support for that. i spoke with jack murphy, who is a former army ranger and green beret, who's been sounding the alarm about these issues. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i think it is dangerous. i think it becomes a question of dual loyalties. if we look in regards to the qanon conspiracy, if you really believe that our government consists of a cabal of pedophiles that are, you know, trying to deconstruct democracy, then it becomes a question of who are you loyal to, what are you fighting for or what are you fighting against? >> steph, i also spoke with gary reed, who's director for intelligence at the defense department, and he said he found
6:26 am
what we discovered that was very disturbing and not in lines of conduct for the defense department, and he said it was, quote, flatly unacceptable. now, it's worth noting this is a small fraction of special forces. this is not everyone in the special forces community, but as secretary austin has said, even a small number of extremist behavior or views in the military can be quite dangerous. and these are our best-trained members of the military, lethally trained. these are on the frontlines of defense overseas for americans. they're very specially trained and that is what in part raises so much concern, this particular segment among the military would be susceptible to these kind of extremist sorts of views. as for what the pentagon is going about it, they're trying to root out extremism. the secretary announced measures to screen recruits better and also try to educate veterans how
6:27 am
these extremist groups might try to target them. >> these actions, these are not what great patriots do. carol, thank you very much. really important reporting. and we're still watching what's going on this morning in indianapolis, the breaking news that eight people were shot dead at a fedex facility. we're going to have a press conference upcoming in the next hour. also this morning, republicans trying to strike a counteroffer -- maybe a compromise -- to president biden' $2 trillion infrastructure plan. is there any room for movement? i will be asking white house economic adviser jared bernstein. but, first, you do not have a robot anchor, you've got me. this week has been incredibly heavy for all of us, traumatizing in many ways. so much loss, so much sadness, a lot of really difficult images to see. right now it doesn't feel like we can change the big stuff, but we can do something about the small stuff every moment of the day. let's just take this minute to do what we can, let's just take a deep breath. i know i need one.

this is wealth. ♪ ♪ this is worth. that takes wealth. but this is worth. and that - that's actually worth more than you think. don't open that. wealth is important, and we can help you build it. but it's what you do with it, that makes life worth living. principal. for all it's worth. stock market opening as we speak, up today. the dow starting above 34,000
6:32 am
for the first time ever. let's bring in cnbc's senior market correspondent dom chu. >> job on the retail front, jobs front and i thought in the first quarter of this year, charles schwab opened up over 3 million brokerage accounts. own one hand great to see more people investing, however, many people are starting to think the only way is up, markets don't go down. you know that's not the case. >> i do know that's the case. you know that's the case. anybody who's lived through the downturns of the dotcom era in 2008 or 2009 know the markets don't go up forever. the reason why the charles schwab account opening story is important now, it may be indicative of a broader trend. first of all on the democratization of investing. more people are getting involved. stephanie, you and i talked about the k-shape recovery america is going through now. those people who own assets tend to be better than those who are not owning assets. what this does do is maybe get you in a step in the right direction of getting more people
6:33 am
involved. if they own assets, maybe they can participate and we don't have as much of that big k-shaped recovery we have. the reason it's important here too is it might signal perhaps a shorter-term phenomenon that might be more negative. the reason i say that, this tends to coincide oftentimes with stimulus checks being talked about or distributed. over the course of the last year we have seen times account openings happen because people get their stimulus checks, if they don't use it for things like their rent or for putting food on the table, oftentimes they use it for investing and savings and what not. but you mentioned the economic data. that will be key going forward. if we can keep this virus trajectory in check, we can keep the vaccine trajectory going the way it is right now, you could see a lot more activity coming up right now. anecdotally, stephanie, we look at economic data sometimes and
6:34 am
tea leaves, stuff corporations tell us, delta air lines said its leisure bookings right now are about 85% where they were pre-pandemic. that gives you an idea some companies feel the worse of this may be behind us and there are brighter skies ahead. >> we may actually start to get to the idea of a v-recovery, dom, thank you. i want to bring in somebody who knows an awful lot about the recovery, jared bernstein, member of president biden's economic council of advisers. the economy looks strong. blowout retail numbers, jobs numbers yesterday. how concerned are you about the threat of inflation? it's happening, food prices, gas prices, real estate prices? >> well, i'm paid to worry about everything, and i must say i do a good job of that. we look at the inflation story very importantly trying to distinguish between heat and overheat. much as dom was saying, we
6:35 am
expect our policies, particularly those embedded in the american rescue plan right out of the gate, to help by producing and distributing the vaccine, to public forward this expansion so people can safely reengage with commerce at the same time providing households and businesses with the resources they need to reengage with commerce. we expect that to create some heat and we are seeing that in the ini flags statistics. but there's a big difference between getting closer to the kinds of targets the federal reserve has set for inflation and the kind of overheating scenario, which is much more of a spiraling story. we don't see the latter. we think the probability of it is quite low relative to the up-side risks we've been describing so far and what you've heard from dom. >> dom also was talking about the connection between stimulus checks and people opening up brokerage accounts. do you have an opinion on if that's how stimulus money should be spent, given you're now looking to get $2 trillion passed and a lot of republicans don't want that to happen?
6:36 am
>> let me say the following just to start that out is that while we watch the stock market carefully and, of course, with lots of people having retired accounts in there and so on, it's important, i'm not going to downplay it, but, remember, half of households own know stocks at all, including through retirement or pensions account. so it's not a gage how president biden assesses how people are doing especially in a recovery why we still have folks in the bottom leg of the k trying to climb back. we know about a third of the stimulus checks are spent, about a third are used for paying down debt and about a third have been saved. and that seems to me to be a fine calibration of that kind of use of resources. but while the stock market is an indicator of how investors are doing, many of whom are at the very high end of the income and wealth scale, it doesn't tell us nearly enough about how broader
6:37 am
america is faring. >> let's talk infrastructure. i mentioned the $2 trillion plan. republicans say they will spend up to $800 billion. that's something. what's next? is there a way to split this thing? there's a lot in there. >> i think we have to talk about what this thing is. yes, there's a lot in there because it is so important that we end decades of disinvestment in broadband, in grid, water systems, our schools and ports and airports and rail. if republicans want to think about peeling off parts of that, they should bring a plan forward and the president said he is willing to look at that. he really outlined one very firm condition, inaction is unacceptable. if you look at the american jobs plan, we believe it's a package that addresses the very broad swath of disinvested american infrastructure, everything from clean energy to a care economy. but the president said he's willing to listen to other ideas
6:38 am
if they represent making those kinds of investments. >> willing to listen, that's a start. one way to pay for this is to raise corporate taxes from 21% to 28%. amazon outgoing ceo jeff bezos said he likes this plan. sure he likes this plan, when there's more money in the economy, people spend it at amazon and walmart. but companies like amazon, it doesn't actually matter to them if the corporate tax rate goes from 21% to 28%. they currently pay zero, like a lot of other corporations. isn't it important to focus on closing loopholes and looking at the overall rate when so few companies pay that number to begin with? >> yeah, that's a really great way to tee up the question. they're both important. if you raise the rate without broadening the base and closing some of the loopholes and starting to try to shut down some of those avenues of tax avoidance, then the higher rate doesn't mean very much and, in fact, if you look at the effective tax rate, meaning the schaeffer of their profits they
6:39 am
pay in taxes, multinational corporations have been at about 8%. that's lower than many middle income households and that has to do with many of the loopholes and avoidance techniques, particularly regarding the offshoring of investments and profits and jobs that currently exist in the tax code and were exacerbated by the trump tax cuts. the tax plan we're putting forth closes those loopholes, ends the race to the bottom and makes that 28% rate more binding. >> we know people who have been out of work are getting the much-needed enhanced jobless benefits until september. but i want to share with you a story from a local florist for our "nightly news" coverage coming up and she's trying to hire part-time workers. and here's what she's up against. >> when you're trying to hire people part time, what response are you getting from them? >> basically we would love to come back to work but we can't lose our benefits to do so.
6:40 am
>> but is the issue for them they can't take the pay cut? >> that's right, yeah. i can't afford to pay them what they need to live, so -- and they would be sacrificing their benefits. >> do you think it's not correct we assume people are not coming back because it's health and safety, do you think it is economic? >> i think it is economic. >> is that a problem we can fix? >> well, first of all, i think we have to distinguish between anecdote and data. they're both important, by the way. i'm not dismissing anecdotes. but from our perspective, we have to see it in the data. thus far it's not something we've seen. last month we created -- i should say the american economy created over 900,000 jobs. you reported earlier that the unemployment claims have been coming down fairly greatly, still an elevated level but coming down pretty reliably in recent weeks. so people are leaving unemployment. people are coming back into the job market and getting jobs at a
6:41 am
pretty hefty clip. last time we looked at this a few months ago, we couldn't find much of a correlation to enhanced benefits -- >> but a few months ago or even last month, the economy wasn't really open. now you have all of these businesses starting to reopen as we get vaccinated and try to hire shift workers, low-wage workers, service workers and they're saying they can't. >> yeah, well, so this is -- that's exactly why we need to continue to look at this. thus far what we are seeing is robust job creation and we're not seeing a great deal of differences between places where enhanced benefits have more of an impact than places where they don't. it's also the case, though, we have hot spots where various areas of the virus are rearing up so people need to try to remain safe. sorting all of this out is important. we can't rely on analysis that fails, we have to continue to watch developments.
6:42 am
>> it is a dynamic situation. jared, thank you very much for joining us. in less than an hour we will be getting an update on the breaking news, eight people shot dead at a fedex facility in indianapolis. we will bring you that live from indianapolis when it's available once again coming up, we have to talk about covid and the j&j pause. coming out now as the country could be facing another spike. we'll take you to the hardest-hit state and new message this morning for the millions who have gotten the pfizer vaccine. accine ght, and you could be in for a tasty discount.
