also breaking this morning, that big announcement from pfizer, the company asking for full approval from the vaccine from the fda. what it means for access from the shots. when a decision could be made and what it means for the global fight against the pandemic. i'm hallie jackson with you on this friday morning and san non pettypiece and dominic chu. let me start with you the april hiring boom goes bust, what happened? >> that's the big question. there is a lot of narratives right now about why the job mark is slowing downright now. the reason so in economists had this situation developing right now where they saw a million jobs possibly created was because we saw data points out there that were still again with weekly jobless claims,

everything pointing positively. with that in mind everything thought this would be a pretty good picture. the reason it comes into question is many folks are saying it is due to the idea that there are people out there looking for jobs that may not be there looking for jobs if they're correcting enhanced unemployment benefits. but there are surveys out there as well that say according to the national faed ration that 30% of small business owners are finding problems to get people to o come back and work for them. the question is whether or not you see this activity pick up. hospitality and leisure was the worst hit in the pandemic. you're starting to see some of the biggest gains right now in that particular part of the

market. it added 331,000 jobs. retail lost 15,000. so keep an eye on those numbers, too. >> shannon, we're twoing to hear from the president in about the next 90 minute os or so. 20 million jobs lost. unemployment was up to about 15%. we have come a long way but this month's report is seen as a big disappointment. what are you hearing from the white house. is he revising the speech he was planning to give? >> i expect to hear this battle of the narratives play out. and you heard dom lay those narratives out. they are expecting the president so say they expect the economic recovery to take awhile that this is all the more reason that

congress needs to pass $4 trillion in funding that president biden is seeking. republicans on the hill were hearing them push back with examples of employers that kind find work because employers are coming back home. and they're saying that it is evidence that that bill did not work. they're saying that money has not gotten out there and the checks are needed to keep food in people's mouths. i think bottom line that to the extend that it creates confusion and concern, it will bode well for president biden's efforts to do something on the economy. the big question will be what is that something going to be? how big will it be and how will it get paid for? >> as we talk about quickly here

with the competing narratives, there is discussion about a potential labor shortage. some experts are says that some of the numbers showed maybe that is not the dominant situation that we're seeing. that's confusing, help de-confuse us here on that. >> it is, unfortunately it is a the amount of time. looking at the april employment numbers right now. many parts of the economy are going to reopen further, many states are going to go to full capacity for bars and restaurants. if that happens in may and june maybe that does signal that perhaps people will come back and feel more comfortable. vaccinations are a big part of that story. remember a lot of these employment numbers are based on many places having capacity

constraints. if they get lifted, then do people come back to work? that will be the real big key. >> dom chu, and shannon petypiece. we're getting more news, pfizer looking for full fda approval. the first if it happens. they have emergency authorization and full approval could make it easier to get it out to people. at the same time you have more new efforts, a bigger push, to try to bush vaccine access happening now at like the braves baseball park, they will give vaccinations to people there. we have an explanation of what this means and what to expect.

>> hallie for people getting the pfizer vaccine it means you could obtain it more easily. let's talk about the way distribution works now. this is emergency use only at this point, that mean it's is distributed through the government, but if the fda does grant full approval, that means doctor's offices would need to order this directly and add min stir it like they do many other shots that they do right now. that means a different way for people who will get that pfizer shot. that means we could see vaccine mandates meaning that if this does get full fda approval you could see entities like the military, schools, or other institutions possibly requiring people to get vaccinated once this is fully approved by the fda. so certainly this is coming at a time when we're seeing creative ways of people encouraging people to get their first shot.

you mentioned i'm standing here at the home of the atlanta braves. they're getting ready to open gates in a couple hours at nearly 100% capacity. they have not seen it here in more than a year. in addition to giving away tickets, anyone that has a ticket can get a covid vaccine shot. anyone that wants it. they're doing it tonight and tomorrow. it is similar to what we're seeing in different places around the country as well. all of this comes as we're getting some good news. some encouraging numbers. currently the daily afternoon is around 46,000 cases per day. >> thank you, i want to bring in dr. paul, director of the vaccine education center at the children's hospital, big question, how quickly could this full approval happen and why is

this different for the steps of getting that initial emergency use authorization? >> sounds like it could happen certainly by no later than the end of summer, although it sounds like these are two very different processes. they are really not that different. the -- i'll tell you what is not different, what is not different is the 30,000 size trial of moderna, or 44,000 for johnson and johnson. that's the side of any typical adult vaccine or pediatric adult vaccine trial. what also is not different is the length of safety follow up. that is true of any vaccine. the only real difference is when we approve these vaccines under emergency use vaccine authorization we can say they were highly effective for a few months. we didn't know why for a few months or a year. it's about showing it's effective for a longer period of time. that's the only real critical

difference. >> that makes perfect sense. thank you very much for your perspective. we have breaking news into us in the last few minutes now on the four former minneapolis police officers involved in the death of george floyd. we know a federal grand jury indicted all four of them that they violated george floyd's civil rights. have you had a chance to look? what does it mean and what does it say? >> we, it is quite short, and it says it is it right to be free

from unreasonable procedure. it is an expensive read of the civil rights laws that apply here. there are two indictments here. one is against the four officers involved in the george floyd matter. the second one is a second time from derek chauvin that happened in 2016. the question is now what happens. chauvin has gone on trial, already been convicted and faces sentencing. so the question is will the federal government wait until all of that is through, and the other three have to go to trial on the george floyd matter. will the justice department wait until the state proceedings are over. i can say that in the past when the federal government filed civil rights charges, they

normally stand in the background and they have those cases on the back burners, and to see if there is a indication of a federal interest. you know times have changed a little bit. in recent times the government has been more aggressive in the case of the georgia church shooting, they went ahead and stepped in front of the state's attorneys. so we'll have to wait and see what the federal government's posture is here. if it will stand in the background, have these ready to go if anything goes wrong with the state prosecutions, or whether or not they will go ahead and try to have federal trials as well. >> pete, was this something that was anticipated? was it unexpected here? >> i think it was anticipated. the fact that a from grand jury was looking at the matter has

been known for a couple months now. it seemed pretty clear the government would move ahead. >> i want to bring in charles coleman. charles, pull back big picture. what does this say? what does this mean to you? >> one of the things i think it does tell us is this particular justice department is going to be moving in a very different direction in the conversation around police reform and enforcing the rights that people have, particularly people of color have when it comes to dealing with law enforcement. from a political standpoint and i think there is a political element to what we have seen here. this is a very creative indictment, but it does, in the languaging and words gives a certain nod to the fact that there is a difference in how people in america are treated differently by police. i think that is very important. while the attorney general is

not going to come out and say that directly, what we have seen in terms of this indictment is a strong indicator of a recognition that this needs to change. >> charles, stand by, pete, you mentioned this, you said it was creatively written. a creative filing here. can you explain that for a layperson? why did it catch your attention? >> here is -- there is no federal murder statute, for example. there are no federal basic assault charges. so those are typically filed and charged by the states. this is a violation of civil rights laws. typically in the past, it is

usually someone that is stopped from voting or from using a public transportation like getting on a bus. some federally protected right. they say the right that was violated was the right to be free from unreasonable force and seizure nap is not something we have typically seen. it is an expansive view. it would have been the government's view that this would have been a harpd case to file. now they have a view of maybe it is a little more expensive. >> got it, charles, i want to make clear here that it says four former police officers, one of them is derek chauvin, the other three are waiting for their trials to begin this

summer. they are accused in aiding and abetting him. explain what we will see next. >> what i expect to happen is the federal case in terms of the department of justice will likely track the state's case. they're likely not going to impede on the state's case that i think will begin august 23rd. they're going to look to make a deal or try to go to trial. the fact that these have been brought down in this way tells us that the department of justice want today make a statement and they want to be very clear about this. so i expect they will put a very reasonable deal on the table, or something not attractive to the defendants in a way that may push them to go to trial. as a result, following the state

trial we may see another trial of them for the federal civil rights violations. >> charles coleman, pete williams, thank you very much for bringing us that breaking news. just in the last couple of minutes here, we'll talk more about it later on in the show. we also have breaking news happening right now in atlanta where the mayor is holding a news conference to announce that she will not run for another term. we'll explain why. plus, new details on how congresswoman elise stefanik is auditions for a top job. and why one college is can complaining about a premature coronation. we'll be live on the ground in austin with what happens from here. m here

'cause we are.

you are looking live at the atlanta mayor talking with

reporters. this is the first time in front of cameras since announcing she would not run for a second term. she became well known nationally. she came under fire for her handling of public safety issues. the mayor that plans to be getting a little emotional has not yet tacks about her plans or shared what she plans to do after leaving office. also elise stefanik seems to be auditioning for liz cheney's job. >> the vast majority of the house republicans support president trump. the job of the conference chair is not to attack fellow members of the conference, it's to unify. >> she is not only fully embracing former president

trump, but she is also fully embracing trump's lies about the 2020 election. leann caldwell is in there, jake sherman is there. talk about some of the developments here. the juxtaposition will be on full display where you are. where do we stand right now as it relates to this gop as they talk about the conspiracy theories. >> this is a must stop for any conservative poll suggestion that wants to talk to conservative voters. i'm here because two controversial members of the house, this is the first stop on

their fundraising tour for their amazing first organization. and we got a preview of what they're going to say tonight in an op-ed that matt gaetz wrote saying she must not be in the party because she doesn't support the former president enough so because of what is happening, being demoted from her position in leadership, the display and the juxtaposition is going to be on clear display. also property trump wing of the party that are pro-trump enough. she pent the day yesterday on

two pro trump conservative pod casts espousing the theories that the election was stoneen and we know she will talk to the most right-wing members of congress to ensure them that she is infact on their side, hallie. >> the issue is that on policy liz whenny has a better record of doing things that former president trump was pushing congress to do. this is a settled issue for senator lindsey graham. it is perhaps unsurprising that senator graham, who was one of the former president's biggest allies think they are absolutely the party of trump. here is what they said overnight? >> can we move forward without president trump? the answer is no. liz made a determination that the republican party can't grow

with president trump. i've determined we can't grow without him. >> jake, what do you make of that? >> it's a good encappslation. there is liz cleany trying to bring the republican party back to a place where it was before trump. she thinks the former spth a danger. and the january 6th insurrection here at the capital, and elise stefanik is saying that's not the republican party we are now. she wants to represent the republican party that sprouded up since trump and during his policy, so these are two competing visions for this role. i would say even among the people that voting for trump's impeachment in the house, there are some people who are tired of hearing cleany talk about trump

in a bad light. they concede that he did bad things, they concede that he is lying about january 6th and the election, i think that is the strategic thinking that stefanik has. there is no doubt she is trying to build up her potential. >> and jake quickly here, he is trying to do this because there are some that don't necessarily think she should have cleared the field or that the field should have been cleared for her, or that these as a coronation pre-emptively. >> that's right, they have been dumping all over her bind her back says she was brought on to the role without anyone's consent. she has trump's endorsement.

chepy is far more conservative than stefanik. they're looking for someone that has unflinching and unwaivering support at all times. so it doesn't really matter. the race being run is a it is about how much you're into and for trump. we'll see how it is in the next couple weeks. >> you had senator mitch mcconnell coming to her defense, right? now for the second day in a row i think he is not defending her and says he is dodging questions about her. there is one senator defending her. and i want to show people what she had to say. >> i think a lot of riz cheney. i think she is bold and truthful

and to her truth. i applaud her for that. i think that we need to make sure as we are moving into 2022 that we don't start narrowing the tent which i is what i think this are will do and that conserves me greatly. >> what do you read into the hesitant or reluctance to come out and defend cheney now? >> i think he is a little bit. he is not defending the president, but he is ignoring the questions and saying we need to look forward. a lot of republican sources say they wish that is what whenny would have done. just moving forward and mcconnell is taking that advice and that's how he is approaching the situation, hallie. >> in florida, live for through. thank you. thank you both, appreciate it.

more now on this morning's speed pump on the road to recovery. the unemployment rate climbing a little bit to 6.1%. the expect was a million jobs to be added. now there are questions whether or not would be workers are staying home and getting more unemployment benefits instead. >> has it ever been this hard to hire people? >> it has not and it is such a surprise to us. you would think coming out it would be yahoo, let's go. it's like the workforce just

evaporated. steph, thank you for sticking around. you spoke with heather buchouet. she said this job slow down does not have anything do to. i had four interviews with the white house in the last four weeks and they're not acknowledging this issue. however, you're going to find individuals saying they cannot bring workers back. some people have health concerns, some people left the seven-day forecast industry and went to other industries like working in a warehouse where they get paid 16 an hour. they may want to consider paying more, but also people are getting paid roughly $15 per

hour with that expanded kicker. people are saying we need to end that $300 bonus. but here is another way to look at it hallie. people should not, i agree, make more money on unemployment, but this could be a call to action to go through with the democrats plan and raise the federal minimum wage. when they came up with expanded up employment, it wasn't out of thin air, they figured out what do people need to support themselves. now that we look at getting people back into the workforce, this would be the opportunity to force a federal minimum wage hike or you're seeing it happen naturally. one way to get people back to work is pay them more. it was the kentucky derby. they could not find people to work at churchill downs. in the state of kentucky the

minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. you know what it cost to buy a cocktail there? $15. should people make half of a drink, a third of a drink after taxes, for an hour's worth of work? this is an opportunity to look at labor in this country. >> so they're going to kill me because i'm already out of time, you talked about the idea that you're seeing and hearing about wages going up, right? they're not seeing wage lgs grow like this. what is the reality here? >> this is one month, and we're in recovery. there is no recovery that is a smooth road, right? it's bumpy. one of the reasons women didn't go back to work is childcare issues. it is just not in there yet, as far as wage increases, this week

the $28 billion just opened up. when you see the money make it's way to restaurants you will see them start to pay more. >> thank you, my friend, teeing us up nicely for our next conversation. congress man, thank you for being back on the show. thank you, i agree with erg that stephanie just said. >> let me ask you some things about it. do you think today's jobs report makes it more or less likely for a fourth round of stimulus checks? >> it makes it more likely that we need to pass the president's plan for two reasons. first, women's unemployment went up. the women's employment fell. men were getting back into the workforce. moms with kids are having a hard time. it show that we need to pass the

president's childcare plan. and wages have not risen yet and part of the reason people are not getting black in is the wages have not been adjusted. if we passed the miles per hour minimum wage, it would move things up the pay scale. >> so you're saying yes we need to the pass the president's overall plan he has been pushing, but the white house said another round of stimulus checks would be up to congress. is that something congress should move forward with? >> i think we should look tat. people are still hurting. we still need more demand for the economy. but i think what is most critical is the child care. more critical is the $15 wages. and it zillion a symptom of the

way we did policy. we allowed people to be laid off instead of incentivizing them to keep workers in the first place. we need better policies next time we have a downturn. >> what about this july 4th deadline for the american jobs plan that speaker pelosi has been talking about? do you think given what we have seen in today's jobs report that time line should be acceleratd in your view? >> i think it should be. i think we see that there is a need to raise wages. we need the childcare part of it. people are saying do childcare later. now we're seeing that is an urgent need and more of a gender focus. i can't say this enough, the numbers show men are getting back into the workforce, women are not. women with kids are not. and there needs targets policies at that.

>> we're showing some of those numbers there. congressman generally here what is your message to someone that might be making more on unemployment and stimulus, making more right now not working than they would if they went back to work? >> as stephanie said, that's hand indictment of how much our wages are paying. it's crazy that people are not able to make a fair wage that pays more than unemployment benefits. think about $300 a week extra in unemployment. a total of a few thousand dollars at most a month and you expect people to survive? that says we need to get to $15 wages in this country so people are being able to make a living wage of their jobs and i think that would solve the issue. i have yet to meet someone, i challenge republicans to have someone come on your show to say i don't want to go to work, i'm fine with the unemployment

check. that's just not reality. most people want a stable job. they like the dignity of work and the narrative, they never have real people. it's just theoretical claims. >> congressman, thank you for coming on, thank you for your time. >> this job's report today that you just heard the congressman characterize shows the economy still has a ways to go for asian owned businesses. one study finding nearly 90%, 90% of small asian american businesses lost money last year. and, of course they also have been dealing with a rise in hate crimes, more discrimination, even before the covid shut downs were put into place. i want to bring in joann quan, a member of the major's small business advisor council. thank you for being on the show. >> thank you so much for having

me. >> so for people that don't know pro-river mart is sort of an institution founded by your in-laws some 50 years ago. are you getting the help you need from the federal government? paint a picture for us given some of the numbers we're seeing this morning. >> we were founded exactly 50 years ago, it's our anniversary. it has been a really, really tough year start getting the help we need as a small business. as a small business owner i like to say every new day brings a new horror. it has been so challenging. i know that good people are doing their bet with all of the government programs, but the ppe program has been very difficult for me and just small business owner friends. i, you know, i speak english and i am educated. it is harder for mom and pop

businesses that don't have that language access. it was really tough and getting a second draw is tough as well. a friend of mine applied eight times and was rejected seven times. we applied to two lenders and were rejected twice, so we were disappointed to hear the ppe funding ended this week. we still have a small chance with a community financial institution, but it is literally a challenge every single day. >> and a special challenge for your business and other asian businesses because of hate crimes. i understand you had a tough time getting people to come back to work, explain that. >> yes, we really started to see our employees have, you know, navigate difficulties as early as january 2020 because that is

when the rhetoric around the origins of the virus started. in asia pre-pandemic it was common for us to wear masks as a courtesy if you had a cold or anything. so you know 15 months later the drum beat has almost increased. it's so alarming to our community because you see especially vicious videos or news reports of our elders getting attacked. just personally my mom is 81, she lives in queens, and i don't want her to stake the subway. she loves ballroom dancing and i don't know when she is take the subway to get to her dance stupid you in the near future. it is hard getting folks back and not because of the virus, you know i understand the

thoughts about unemployment, but a lot of it is trying to get to work. they feel safe at work, but they don't feel safe commuting to work. >> you're saying it's not about the issue of wages, it's about the physical safety for them. have you had to change the way you're doing business to try to help them feel more comfortable in that front? >> yeah, i think there are multiple reasons, unemployment might be one of them. that was the reason especially in the beginning that we heard the most. folks didn't feel safe commuting in. we have changed, we curtailed hours. we used to be open until 9:00 p.m., right? now i don't want people out and about, going home, often to, you know, be out, it could take 45 minutes to an hour. after 7:00 p.m., so we close at 7:00 p.m. all of the employees leave together as a group so there is safety in numbers, and i have

also just moved shifts around because there are some people that just don't feel comfortable closing but they might feel comfortable opening. just in general, i bought alarms for everyone. you know that is just the mother instinct in me. you know what can we do to help on a individual basis? it feels quite random, the attacks that have been throughout so far. >> joann, thank you for your time and for talking with us this morning and everything you're dealing with and your business. thank you. coming up, even with huge protests over a bill, making it harder to vote in texas overnight. how state lawmakers just moved one step closer to instituting this as law. we'll explain after the break. s. we'll explain after the break. sy for what you need? really? i didn't-- aah! ok. i'm on vibrate. aaah! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ this is the epson ecotank color printer.

a updated version of the bill is moving to the senate. this bill, you see the protestors flooding the gallery, the debate went on until about seven or eight hours ago. about 3:00 in it passed the couple of key votes, even with the opposition. the updated version does dial back some of the changes that got the biggest pushback. let me bring in jane timm who posted up in austin outside the state capital. jane, listen, i know you had very little sleep. i'm sure you are on 16 cups of coffee at this point. talk to us about the all nighter, what came out of it and where it goes. >> reporter: yeah, it was quite a late night here in austin. 9:00 p.m., democrats found a procedural error in the legislation and used that as leverage. they don't have the votes to stop the bill. they had the persistence to make some big changes. some of the amendments they were

able to force through using that procedural threat that would have sent the bill back to committee if they let it, to get changes. they lowered some of the criminal penalties. they removed a provision that required texns helping another to explain why they needed help, something advocates worried would disclose personal, private information to election officials. they created a process to remove partisan poll watchers who get unruly from the polling places. they pushed in a few of their own reforms, something like including a provision that requires the state to create online tracking for mail ballots for texans who vote by mail. it's important to say that all these changes and all this work last night might not end up in the full bill. it goes eventually to conference committee where the senate version and house version will be reconciled by lawmakers. all these changes and late night amendments that kept us up until 3:00 a.m. when the vote went through can get tossed out the window in place of other things.

it now goes to the senate where we will find out what happens. >> i know you will be there to bring us updates. thank you. we want to update you to a story we broke at the start of the hour. the minnesota attorney general just releasing a statement saying that federal prosecution for the violation of george floyd's civil rights is entirely appropriate, particularly now that derek chauvin has been convicted of murder. that statement follows the new federal indictment of four now former minneapolis police officers, including chauvin. the other three appeared in court this morning. this morning, we are getting reaction to the murder conviction of derek chauvin from the former first lady michelle obama. she and the former president released a statement saying the jury did the right thing. she's opening up with cbs about why they spoke up. >> in certain times, people look to us often, what do you think, how do you feel? we know that while we are all

breathing a sigh of relief over the verdict, there's still work to be done. and so we can't sort of say, great, that happened, let's move on. >> that interview with the former first lady. turning to news happening at the border and here in washington. at the white house, we have vice president kamala harris meeting virtually with the president of mexico. no surprise that immigration, of course, is at the top of the agenda. how both countries can confront what the vp called the root causes of migration. it comes as nbc news is learning exclusively that the biden administration is working to reunite entire families, whole families who were separated under the last administration. not just parents, but also brothers and sisters of separated kids who may be able to get some kind of legal status in the u.s. that's what the secretary of homeland security is telling jacob soboroff in a new exclusive interview while cautioning it's not a guarantee.

jacob is here now with more from his interview. great work. great to see you. >> thanks. >> we know secretary mayorkas is heading to the border. there's that aspect. tell us about what he told you. explain some of this potential new policy that would actually reunite multiple family members. a mother would not have to decide between reuniting with a mother in the u.s. or her kids at home. >> that's the point. you stressed it, secretary mayorkas said it's not guaranteed. the process they are working on is a 36-month-long parole, permission to enter the united states for the family. the idea of permanent status would be further along and it's highly aspirational for the administration. the other thing is accountability. i'm asked and it's an open question whether people in the trump administration will be held accountable for a policy that the president called criminal and this is what

secretary mayorkas told me. secretary neilson signed a memo to make the issue you are fixing today possible. jeff sessions, the former attorney general, instituted the zero tolerance policy. according to our reporting, stephen miller held a show of hands vote in the white house situation room to move forward with family separations at a cabinet level knowing the consequences, what you would have to deal with right now. you don't believe that any of those people deserve to be held accountable for their role in this? >> that's not what i said. what i said was that we are focused on reuniting the families and then when we do so or when -- or when we are far further along in doing so, we will turn to other issues that the family separation policy involves. >> some of the activists and attorneys that represent the families say it's imperative that accountability is part of the conversation right now. secretary mayorkas stresses, they are focused on reuniting

families, not just the four this week but the over 1,000 that remain separated, before they get to the accountability piece of this. >> jacob soboroff live for us with that great exclusive. thank you so much. thanks for watching this hour of "hallie jackson reports." highlights and our reporting on twitter. we will see you there throughout the weekend. happy mother's day to those celebrating. for now, a lot more with craig melvin after the break. able. if you're taking cosentyx and your insurance or coverage changes or you need help paying cosentyx connect is here to help. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen or if you've had a vaccine, or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. call us or visit us online. we're here for you. we've got 'em on the ropes. the billionaires buying elections.
