6:00 am
now, we look ahead to the president's address to a joint session of congress tomorrow night, what will he do to stop the shortage of buffalo wings in america right now? >> exactly. >> oh, god. >> exactly. >> you threw it away. that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage right now. >> what's the plan? >> a bucket of chicken wings -- ♪♪ hi, there, i'm stephanie ruhle, live at msnbc headquarters here in new york city. it is tuesday, april 27th. let's get smarter. this morning we're keeping a close eye on elizabeth city, north carolina. body cam footage of the law enforcement shooting that killed andrew broken expected to be released at any time. his family has seen just 20 seconds of it and they describe it as an execution. the city now under a state of emergency anticipating civil unrest once the footage is out there. in washington, d.c. with the end of his first 100 days in sight,
6:01 am
president biden putting the finishing touches on his big speech to congress tomorrow night. police reform is expected to be part of it. it is no surprise since biden's justice department just announced its second investigation into a local police department in less than a week. first it was minneapolis. now it's louisville. finally, nearly 400 days after the cdc said to start wearing masks, it's finally expected that they could be here to tell us it is okay to go outside without one. president biden expected to announce this new cdc guidance later today. joining me now, nbc news chief white house correspondent kristen welker and nbc's cal perry, in louisville, kentucky, home of the kentucky derby, which takes place this weekend. obviously, it is a big announcement. they wouldn't be creating this big fuss if it wasn't. >> you're absolutely right, steph. this is a big announcement coming on the eve of president biden marking 100 days in office. what are we expecting?
6:02 am
at this point we anticipate he's going to announce these new cdc guidelines that will relax mandates for wearing masks outdoors for people who are fully vaccinated. so we think that will be the headline. we also think the president will give the broader state of the fight against covid. of course, this has been his core promise. this was key to his campaign, steph, he was going to fight covid. he was going to turn the corner on covid. what you're going to see in this speech today is president biden 345iking the case they are doing exactly that, starting to turn the corner on this fight. now, it comes as there are still masked mandates in place in 26 states all across the country and also as cases are on the rise still in about a dozen states. this is a fight that is far from finished, particularly when you think about all of the variants. in terms of these new masking
6:03 am
guidelines, this is something dr. anthony fauci signaled over the weekend when he said this during an interview, steph. he said, i think it's pretty common since now that outdoor risk is really quite low, particularly if you're vaccinated, wearing masks outdoors, obviously, the risk is minuscule. that is what we're anticipating when president biden speaks in just a few hours from now, steph. >> cal, let's talk about the kentucky derby. we've not seen anything like we're expecting in louisville in more than a year. tens of thousands expected. yes, it is outdoors but there are parties indoors all weekend long. how are they going to keep people safe? >> yes, bob baffert's having a party at one of the restaurants here. that will be at 60% capacity. 60% capacity is the most you're going to get. changes start before you actually get inside. there's a very brief medical questionnaire. we can show you the questionnaire on the board. basically if you had any symptoms, been in contact with
6:04 am
anyone with symptoms and if your temperature is above 100, they turn you around and send you home. once you get inside there's a mask mandate. and there are limitations how many people will be inside. 20% capacity on the infield. the infield alone holds 60,000 people. normally on derby day, it will be 40% capacity. even at that capacity level, you'll have 50,000 people here on saturday. today we expect thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands of people. we've been asking people about the mask mandate all morning. here's a sampling of what people had to say -- >> do you know of all of the mask mandates and all of that? >> i brought one just in case. >> what do you think of the mask mandates? >> it's okay. i've been vaccinated so we're kind of looser down in mississippi, when you get down to it, which is good. >> do you think people are ready for big sporting events again? >> yes, i am. i think it's time. >> as more and more things open up around the country, including
6:05 am
the sporting events, look for a difference in the face mandates versus these events. as the governor beshear lowering the mask mandates for small crowds. but obviously here at the track they will be, stephanie. >> are they asking people if they have been vaccinated or requiring it? >> they're not asking people if they've been vaccinated. they're not requiring it. here in the state 40% received one shot, 30% both, but they are not asking here at the doorstep. >> cal, kristen, thank you. let's dig deeper with dr. nahid bhadelia, infectious disease doctor and medical director of the special pathogens unit at boston medical center. we're getting the cdc guidance. yes, we don't officially know what it is. but it's safe to say they're going to relax mask wearing in some safe way. what do you feel about that from a science perspective? >> stephanie, what i do from my day job, i run a medical unit specifically designed to take
6:06 am
care of other patients with highly communicable diseases. when i train my health care workers, i don't just tell them the rules, i show them where the risk is. so when they find themselves in a situation that's unpredictable, they know how to keep themselves safe. and the cdc current guidelines say outdoors is safer than indoors. i think it's important to understand how much safer outdoors compared to indoors, because the blank outdoor man mandates states like michigan or massachusetts, and indoors opening up, where you can have michigan, i believe, 100 people indoor and that carries 18 times higher risk. what i'm hoping the cdc might do is have people recognize the majority of outdoor settings, most of the activities are green. they start getting orange when you're in crowds or close contact for long periods of time. that's when you have the
6:07 am
opportunity to exchange air. you don't want to swap air with other people in enclosed spaces. it's rarely, particularly if you can put this crowd -- the numbers to a lower amount in large venues and require the mask, it becomes much, much safer in the outdoor setting than in the indoor setting. i would like to have that clarified. the other thing is for them to continue to show the importance of indoor masking. we really shouldn't be letting our guard down there. the most interesting thing to me is going to be to see if they differentiate between your individual status of seeing someone vaccinated. it does reduce your risk of transmitting to other people if you have been vaccinated and your risk of actually catching the infection in the first place. how do you, when it comes to a convention like the kentucky derby, how do you verify? and i think it may come down to how many people in a particular state have been vaccinated so in that case it's okay to let down
6:08 am
the mandates and pay attention to crowds in particular. >> but we're really close, with the exception of kids, to every american having access to the vaccine. is it justified a lot of people feel like if they've been double vaccinated they don't want to wear a mask inside anymore. it's not their fault other people are choosing not to be vaccinated? it's very different than where we were months ago. >> i agree with that. i think the tough part is, there's a difference between -- so there's a difference between what you can actually accomplish with the public health policy versus the guidance. the trouble here is people can say that, yes, if i'm vaccinated, i should be able to go and indoor dine. the trouble is, are restaurants going to check people's vaccination status? i don't see that lining up in the near future. hence, it may be safer until more of us are vaccinated before we let those indoor mandates down in a more definitive way. yes, if you are vaccinated, this is a point to everybody, if you're vaccinated, most
6:09 am
activities become safer for you, including as we've heard from the cdc guidance, letting your guard down, letting your mask down around our people vaccinated as well. >> what do you think the timing is on kids getting vaccinated, for those vaccinated parents out there who are ready to loosen things up a little, they can because they've got kids? >> we know pfizer has good data for those between 12 and 15. currently pfizer has a vaccine available for those over 16. we think it's likely the actual data for kids younger than that, trials are ongoing and it depends when their enrollment ends and the thought it might be over the summer. so maybe next year, hopefully the vaccines will be more available then. but it all depends on the dosage and safety in kids. >> at this point vaccines are only technically authorized for emergency use. that is why lawyers are basically preventing many, many businesses and other entities from forcing people to be
6:10 am
vaccinated in order to come back to work. when we're passed emergency use, should we expect a lot more vaccination requirements? >> stephanie, i think you would. the trouble with the ua is the language in the emergency use authorization patients can accept or refuse the vaccine currently and because of the full approval takes into account a lot more data. so there's more legal ground to stand on when you receive the full vaccine approval for these vaccines from the fda. if you see universities already starting to require that, that shouldn't surprise you. they already exist for other vaccines. measles and mumps and purr
6:11 am
purr tuesday is vaccines. i think states mandated childhood vaccinations. states have not taken as much of a stand on adult vaccinations in the past but it will be interesting to see how it plays out particularly in states where the vaccine update is low. >> i want to ask you about something i know it personal to you, the crisis in india. our colleague richard engel has been reporting on it all week, and i want to share a bit of that footage and warn our audience some of his reporting is disturbing to watch. >> hospitals are so full and lack so many basic supplies, people are turning wherever they can. this sikh temple in delhi has a few precious oxygen tanks. people come for miles just for a few breaths. abu sadat, weak and motionless, has been trying to get care for eight days but he's been turned away for eight days. his brother tried to keep him alive and conscience. he's not a medic but won't give
6:12 am
up. others die while they wait for care that never comes. >> at this point the united states is sending raw materials for vaccines to india along with ppe and other supplies. can you remind the america first voter who's watching why it is in our best interest to do this? >> stephanie, i think i will start by saying the situation is much worse than what the numbers show. the testing capacity has been overwhelmed. so if you don't get tested, in many hospitals they're not taking people who are not covid positive. so you can die at home and you're not counted as a death. so the numbers you're seeing are and underestimate. what you're seeing in india is a wildfire of fires and the more the fires transmit, the more likely it is it evolves. there's a new strain thought to be more transmissible. thankfully there's new data the vaccines may be effective against it. it's partly contributing to the
6:13 am
increases, as are large gatherings and letting down the guard in many places. we need to do this because our destiny is tied to the rest of the world because as the virus continues to transmit elsewhere, you will continue to see more variants develop. so we can vaccine our entire population and still have that threat on the horizon. that's one reason. the other is economic. there's a study in europe that shows if there's a vaccine that's not equitable, you can see a 100% loss in gdp. so we need to make sure india gets on the other side of this. >> we certainly do, dr. bhadelia. thank you for joining us. amazingly a year ago this country was one of the worse in cases and deaths and look how things changed, we're trying to help our partners on the other side of the globe. look how things changed. coming up -- the deputy killing of andrew brown jr. in
6:14 am
north carolina, as they served an arrest warrant, how did this man die? the family calls it a execution. the community calls for transparency. we'll take you there. why louisville police say they welcome an investigation by the justice department more than a year after breonna taylor's death. es, please. [ chuckles ] don't get me wrong, i love my rv, but insuring it is such a hassle. same with my boat. the insurance bills are through the roof. -[ sighs ] -be cool. i wish i could group my insurance stuff. -[ coughs ] bundle. -the house, the car, the rv. like a cluster. an insurance cluster. -woosah. -[ chuckles ] -i doubt that exists. -it's a bundle! it's a bundle, and it saves you money! hi. i'm flo from progressive, and i couldn't help but overhear... super fun beach day, everybody. what happens when we welcome change? and i couldn't help but overhear... we can make emergency medicine possible at 40,000 feet. instead of burning our past for power, we can harness the energy of the tiny electron. we can create new ways to connect.

6:16 am
6:17 am
any moment the body cam footage showing sheriff's deputies fatally shooting andrew brown jr. in north carolina, that footage could be released as elizabeth city remains under state of emergency. if you recall, brown was killed last wednesday as deputies were attempting to serve him with a search-and-arrest warrant related to felony drug charges. browns' family said they were only shown 20 seconds of the video on monday. we want to go live to north carolina.
6:18 am
kerry, what's the latest there? >> hello, the judge could rule as early as today for the release of all of the body cam videos. as you noted the family of 42-year-old andrew brown said they expected initially to see all of the videos were were only shown a small snippet, about 20 seconds they watched over and over again. even at that they say while they wanted to say more, what they did say, they believe, is proof of police overreaction. overnight peaceful protests against in elizabeth city, north carolina. andrew brown's family demanding authorities in pasquotank county release all of the footage from last week. the county giving the family and lawyers a private viewing but the family said they were only allows to see one 20-second
6:19 am
clip. what did you see? >> an execution. >> describe it? >> it was horrific. you see a person trying to get away and the cops shooting at them. that's not right. he was in no harm at all, and it's very clear in the video. >> reporter: family lawyers believe there may be as many as neen cams, including dash cams. the video appears to show brown with his hands on his car steering wheel before he was killed and that he was shot from behind. >> a black person shot in the back is almost a cliche in america. >> reporter: these grainy images show the aftermath, brown's windshield with at least four bullet holes. the shooting unfolding early wednesday when deputies were attempting to serve a warrant on brown for allegedly selling illegal drugs. ashley bechtel, married to brown's cousin, said she
6:20 am
witnessed it happen from her upstairs bedroom. >> they crowded around his car. they were shooting the front window of his car. >> reporter: seven deputies have been placed on administrative leave while authorities investigate. >> this tragic incident was quick and over in less than 30 seconds and body cameras are shaky and sometimes hard to decipher. >> reporter: andrew brown did what you teach your children to do when we have the talk, which is to comply. he put his hands on the steering wheel when he was being shot. lawyers for andrew brown's family say that andrew brown had no gun, no drugs. we expect that the lawyers for the family who have commissioned a private autopsy, to perhaps release the results of that autopsy later this morning. stephanie? >> kerry, thank you. let's go deeper. joining us now, elizabeth city manager montrae freeman. thank you for joining us. can we start with this body-cam
6:21 am
footage. why would the brown family only see 20 seconds? >> i wish i had an answer for that. i am completely flabbergasted at that move. when you have body cam, the most transparent thing to do is show all of it. unfortunately that did not happen on yesterday. i wish i had an answer for you. >> do you have any sense of when the rest of it is going to be released publicly? >> i don't. i do know that once it gets to superior court judge's office, they will make a ruling on whether or not it should be released and under what circumstances it will be released, and to whom the custodian will be at that point. >> for the rest of the country watching this, can you describe the relationship between law enforcement and the community and elizabeth city? >> we have an amazing relationship. we have chief eddie buffalo.
6:22 am
he is the president of the north carolina chiefs association, so i always say he's the chief of all chiefs. we are so fortunate to have him. they've been doing community policing since he's been here nine years. so the relationships our police departments have with the elizabeth city police department is the result of community policing that already happened, has been happening and will continue to happen. there's a reason our police officers and police chiefs and deputies can walk into these police protests and talk to these protesters. there's a reason for that. we will continue to do that. as a manager, i still have the same directive, create a safe space for the first amendment right exercises to take place. i also have a duty to protect our businesses and other citizens. i just want to thank everybody for working together to make this thing happen. it requires a whole village for this. we have drivers who have been extremely patient.
6:23 am
we have citizens who have been extremely patient. and we are trying our best to work through it. i have not been privy to the majority of this. very, very little, if any, but i will continue to make those decisions that will allow me to leave the city and keep us in a good space and hopefully, prayerfully, we get through this thing. my thoughts and prayers still out to the brown family. they lost a family member, those children lost a father in the root of all of this. this is why we're here. it's an honor to be on your show but not a pleasure for this reason. for this reason when we get through this, i do ask msnbc come back and help us tell the story of revitalization and rebuilding. >> all right. thank you very much and stay safe where you are. we will come back to see you. hopefully this will be somewhat of a peaceful time in your city. thank you for joining us. as we monitor the situation unfolding there in north carolina, just west in kentucky, the justice department has officially launched an investigation into the
quote
6:24 am
louisville police department's policing practices. it comes more than one year after breonna taylor was fatally shot boifrs serving a no knock warrant at her apartment. no charges were brought in connection to taylor's death. the justice department's investigation will cover a lot including racial bias, illegal stops and searches, unlawful warrants, unreasonable force and police training and policy. joining us now to discuss former kentucky state representative, who is now exploring a run for senate, charles booker. charles, what is your reaction to this investigation? >> well, i welcome it and i join our entire community in saying thank you for hearing our cries. when breonna taylor's door was busted down, all of our doors were. but the truth of the matter is the injustices we've seen in communities like mine were happening way before that. so this investigation is really a chance to say our voices are not meaningless and the conversation for true community safety is one we deserve to have
6:25 am
right now. it requires federal leadership, you know, as much as this is happening on the ground in the streets in my community, this speaks to structural and systemic challenges and we need leaders at the federal level that will fight for us. and that is why i'm launching an exploratory for u.s. senate to do my part in the structural change. pay a close eye and look what we're fighting for here. we're looking for accountability, healing, justice and brighter future. >> you're not the only one who welcome this investigation. a surprise to many, the police chief in louisville is welcoming it as well. here's what she said. >> i look at this as a huge opportunity to get us on the path forward that is most beneficial for the police department. this is not a negative. with what these folks have been dealing with for the last nine months, i think i would like to believe they dealt with the
6:26 am
hardest part, and we can get to some level of normalcy in the city. >> what do you think about that? >> you know, in one way, it's an affirmation of what we have been crying for. i lost one of my younger cousins was murdered in 2017. he was one of the misidentified four. put in jail and nearly lost everything and ultimately losing his life in the same vehicle that he bought from the settlement from the city because they mistreated him. so to hear the chief acknowledge this is needed is affirming but it's also disheartening because it's an acknowledgment our city leaders have not been able to address these challenges that are very real. so, again, this is why we need federal involvement and this investigation being very wide ranging along the lines of
6:27 am
ferguson, is going to give us a chance to have a deep dive to what is happening in our city and why we have true public community safety and how people with thriving lives. community safety is more than just having militarized officers treating communities like we're enemy combatants. in fact, that's not safety at all. i believe all of our leadership should wrap our arms around this, should be transparent, should be up front. i'm doing my part as well. sky everyone to please join us in this fight here. we're trying to win a brighter future and make sure everyone can be safe. join me in my employertory. go to charlesbooker.org to find out what we're doing on the ground. this is an important moment and we're going to seize it together. >> charles, thank you very much for joining us this morning. i appreciate it. when we come back, what we just learned about president biden's address to congress tomorrow and what voters are saying as he approaches his first 100 days. inside you,

6:30 am
6:31 am
6:32 am
workers, it is not nearly as far reaching as the federal minimum wage hike a whole lot of democrats have been pushing for. this move comes just one day before biden gets his first official address to joint sessions of congress. we're on the ground in d.c. and ellison barber's in miami, where she's been talking to voters to see how the president is doing as he nears his first 100 days. shannon, what do we know about the focus about tomorrow night's speech? >> steph, said president biden was first elected to the senate in 1972, he has witnessed eight presidents address congress. and now finally he's getting his turn at the lectern. we know from the white house that he's been deeply involved in the speechwriting process. he's been working with the writers and a deep message he wants to send. sources tell nbc news the president in this full process began weeks ago and one of the
6:33 am
advisers most involved here is biden's longest-serving add vires, mike donlon. so something that's a major focus of the president. this all comes as he's approaching his 100th day in office and the white house said to not only look for him to tout his accomplishments over the past 100 days but also look forward. bun of the key pieces of forward-looking priority the white house said is this, $1.5 trillion investment in childcare spending that you and i were just talking about yesterday, he plans to lay that out and put pressure on republicans to work with him to get this and the other key pieces of his legislative agenda going through. >> allison, you spent the last year talking to voters in florida. what are they telling you now? >> yeah, we went back to speak to the exact same people who we spoke to in the months and weeks leading up to the november election. covid-19 is still a major issue among those voters. everyone we spoke to was pleased
6:34 am
with the rate of vaccinations in the united states and where we are at in terms of the pandemic right now. there's disagreement for who deserves credit for the success of the rollout of vaccines in this country. there was concern among many people we spoke to about the situation at the u.s./mexico border. there was also a good bit of relief this was a president who does not tweet as much as the prior president and that was true of democrats and republicans we spoke to. they all said they felt like the drama lessened and that was considered a good thing across the board, regardless of how people identified politically. we spoke to a mother/daughter duo, who we met last year. politically they are divided much like the rest of the country. listen to what they had to say when we asked them about biden's first 100 days, and whether or not he's uniting the country. >> there's some good things and there's some bad things, as with any president. i think he's definitely brought
6:35 am
the drama down in the political scene in the united states, which is a good thing. the border crisis is something that someone out of control and that's being downplayed by the administration. >> i definitely agree with my mom on the first half. i think biden is doing a really good job of bringing the drama down. . his message throughout his campaign has been being a unifying president. and that will not happen overnight. when you have alexandria oscasio-cortez saying she's exceeded his expectations in the first 100 days, that makes me shudder. >> so the mom there, barbara, saying she feels like biden and his administration are only working with republicans they already agree with. the daughter completely disagreed with that and was adamant that this was a president who is making a genuine effort to work with
6:36 am
people on the other side of the political spectrum. he's invited more republicans for meetings quickly than president trump necessarily did. when i asked both of them, knowing everything you know now about the state of the country, everything that has happened in the last few months, would you still vote the same way if you could go back to november of 2020? and both of them says yes, they would vote the exact same way. stephanie? >> ellison and shannon, thank you. let's turn to wall street. markets opened moments ago amid a major earnings week. today google's parent company, alphabet and microsoft will both be reporting their quarterly numbers after tesla beat expectations with its report yesterday. so you know who's here, cnbc senior market correspondent, our first dom chu. dom, what is the most important business story we need to know today? >> take a look at the bigger themes. you mentioned earnings season. one of the big themes will be the extension of some of the news items we heard over the past year. when it comes to companies like microsoft and alphabet, we can
6:37 am
learn just a little bit about some of the things like whether people and businesses are continuing to focus on work-from-home products. microsoft makes a lot of those tools like video conferencing, shared confidence. alphabet can tell us about the digital market and advertising trends and streaming, youtube, of course. and they own various cloud computing businesses. and outside big technology, we're focused on commentary from supply companies with ongoing supply chain issues. many folks know it's hard to find certain goods out there. there could be longer wait times for others. that's leading to higher prices on everything from food to diapers to cars. stephanie, corporate outlooks on cost increases certainly a story worth paying attention to as the earning seasons rolls on. >> dom, former president trump warned voters their 401(k)s would be gone if biden won. obviously, the opposite has happened. biden spent a ton of money on stimulus. markets love stimulus, you're
6:38 am
pumping money into the system. does all of that go away if he changes taxes, if he raises corporate taxes, if he changes how we treat capital gains? >> of course, stephanie, that's the huge part of what's up for debate right now. you mentioned, we know the federal reserve has been a big part of the market dynamic. they're fwhitz of making sure there's plenty of cash in the system. that market is flush with cash with low-to-zero interest rates. and the cash stimulus is really what's driving the activity in the recent months, trillions of dollars of relief. that product a carryover from the trump administration but extended by this white house and congress during this early part of the administration. a lot of moving parts. there are some concerns and rightfully so, stephanie. you point out here, many investors, many people on wall street are worried about future policies from the administration. specifically with regard to those taxes. also the clean energy agenda, how much will that cost?
6:39 am
what will it look like down the line? infrastructure? all of those can be factors that shift the market's sentiment one way or another, stephanie. we will learn more in the coming weeks. >> dom, thank you so much. up next, you do not want to go anywhere. we have to take you to arizona. more twists in the gop-led unfounded effort to overturn the election there. and what happened when our own reporter tried to get inside where the whole thing is going down. down urger ever? then make it! that means cooking day and night until...

in just a few hours, a judge will hear arguments about what arizona republicans are calling a recount of the 2020 election results. it is the latest step in this very bizarre back and forth. nearly six months after the election was decided in the state, republican officials have taken voting equipment and 2.1 million ballots from maricopa county and hired a private
6:44 am
company, ready for this company's name? cyber ninjas, to recount the vote. and they're not letting any press inside the building where the so-called recount is taking place. and i want to show you what happened when our own von hilliard tried to get access yesterday. >> hi, sir, how are you doing? >> i'm not authorized to speak with you. >> we're with nbc. we're hoping to cover as journalists what's happening at the time. >> i'm not authorized to speak to the press. >> are you an auditor? they guys said we could talk to you about getting in. >> there's an area for media, that area and that area alone. not the building. >> so we're not allowed to go inside and watch the audit go on. >> you're authorized, as you said, you're media, to the media area. >> with all due respect, being outside in the parking lot is not being able to watch. >> we have to bring in the best for this one, brown resnick, political reporter from kpmx 12 in phoenix. he's been covering the story
6:45 am
from the beginning. he joins us now. we can giggle or snicker and say this is bizarre and leave and laugh at this company called cyber ninjas, but how serious is this if they come out of this recount and suddenly say the results are changed? >> i think it's bigger than that, stephanie. i encourage people not to call it crazy, not to call it weird. what you see happening here is basically election law being made on the fly. we have really what amounts to a rogue audit, they're own lawyers say there's nothing in arizona law that prevents us from doing this. and so you have the precedent of an audit basically commissioned by about five or six republicans who are on a committee in the legislature who subpoenaed or seized those ballots you're looking at, 1.2 million ballots, very expensive election machines, for an audit. the question is, what prevents them from doing this again in
6:46 am
2022 or 2024, where you could have these parallel audits next to audits done by the legitimate election officials we employ to run our elections? it's a really big problem. at the court hearing today, that might begin to get settled but will likely play out over several days. >> let's dig into this parallel-style audit. the gop lawmakers will not disclose thousand they will pay for it. you just saw they will not let press inside to watch the process. and although this company cyber ninjas is said to be headquarters in florida, politico found no one in florida state politics had ever even heard of them. what in the world is going on here? >> i want to just preface a lot of this by saying the senate president told us this swab independent, bipartisan, transparent run by qualified
6:47 am
auditors. >> that's not happening. >> it is none of those things, none of those things. that's why cuttous is a rogue audit. we can stand in the parking lot outside of the building but we know nothing about what's going on inside the building. now supporters will say, come on, you've got cameras there 24/7. if you go on telegram, where there's an arizona audit check, you have these supporters, including the alleged ringleader of can q, qanon, on there. even they don't know what's going on. what's that? they're using ultraviolet lights. what's that for? look at that picture. do you know what's going on? no, it's just a picture. >> could it affect the results from that state? >> no. the election is certified. it is done. but the problem is, as i think
6:48 am
you mentioned earlier, it plants the seeds of illegitimacy, whatever they are going to say. and we have no idea what they're going to say, again, because they're trying to hide their processes, cyber ninjas, try to hide their processes from the public and have it sealed whatever they discuss. so we have no idea what they will do. but the questions of legitimacy they raise about the elections and, again, this audit stacked up against another audit, a legitimate one done by the people we employ, is that's going to be the norm after every election and is this going to become a part of really our election process every two years? >> let's hope not, brahm. thank you for joining us. please keep us up to date. this story is crazy but really serious. people need to pay attention to it. and right now we're watching with what's going on here in new york city. police say they're investigating six synagogue attacks from over the weekend as possible hate
6:49 am
crimes. unfortunately this seems to be nothing new. in a brand-new report released by the anti-defamation league, they did nothing to slow anti-semitic attacks in this country. the report issued on the two-year anniversary of the shooting at poway, california, synagogue that killed a woman and injured three others. it showed vandalism and assault actually fell but harassment went up by 10%. in fact last year marked the third highest year for incidents against american jews since the adl began tracking back in 1979. coming up next -- the first results of the 2020 census are in. who lost? who gained? and how 89 people, that's it, made all of the people here in new york. you know who's going to break this down for us, steve kornacki at the big board. do not go anywhere. you know there were 89 new yorkers who just didn't fill this thing out. they're feeling guilty about it today. they should. they should.

recall, but the effort faces a very uphill battle. and peaking of california it's one of seven states losing a seat in the house of representatives next election cycle. new york missed out by just 89 people. the other five states on your screen getting one. you know who is here, steve kornacki. we saw states losing out to states like texas and florida where people move for lower action ises. >> there is really long term trends here. this is a story we tell every decade and we have been telling for decades. they are getting multiple seats
6:55 am
here. even places like colorado, they are moving into the sunbelt area. that's a long term population trend. and this speaks to that continuing. these are the states losing seats here and when you mention california this is new. i want to talk about that for one second. california will still have 52 seats, by far the most in the country. but you see here they're losing a seat. they have never lost a seat in congress until now. this is the fist time that california has ever lost a seat. they climbed and climbed all of the way to the 50s and now their population, or the growth of their population, is moving back in a different direction for the first time. so california losing a seat and again, the other trend that you see here, the northeast, industrial states, the midwest, it's a longer term trend.

pennsylvania for a state now has been losing a seat. >> let's be honest. in the state of new york there were certainly way more than 89 people. no fault of their own, clearly we got a zillion advertisements. is there any do overs, corrections, or do you just get what you get and you don't get upset? >> the do over comes in 2030. that's the next time the census forms goes out there and everyone sees the public service adds and we will see them all again in ten years. right now these are the numbers, they will stick for the next ten years. you're talking just a hand full of people that made the difference between new york losing the seat or potentially hanging on to it. there are some other states breathing a big sigh of relief. little old rhode island. they're hanging on to both of their congressional seats and this can come down to slim
