house take its final vote as early as today. i will spend time this hour with the head of the black economic alliance. why he says these kinds of bills are bad for business. we start with more breaking news. a disappointing glimpse at the u.s. economy. the united states adding 266,000 jobs last month. any other year, that would be good. problem is, economists were expecting that number to be closer to a million jobs. it's a curveball for president joe biden. president biden set to speak in 30 minutes. this will be the first time we hear from him since these numbers dropped. that's where we will start this morning. shannon pettypiece is with us, so is senior business correspondent stephanie ruhle as well. shannon, i will start with you. the jobs report, way below expectations. economists expecting them to top one million. how is this landing in the white house? how are they going to try to explain this when we hear from

the president this hour? >> right. i will add, we were expecting to hear from the president all along, before we even got these numbers. the white house put that announcement out last night. it's not any indication that he feels the need to respond. he was planning to respond all along. as far as the way white house officials are indicating they are going to handle these numbers, they expect to hear the president say that these show the economic recovery is going to take time, it's going to be a slow process, that these show the economy is still suffering the effects from this pandemic and to also make the case for why congress now needs to pass the $4 trillion in spending biden is proposing on everything from clean energy and roads and bridges and child care and elder care, the sweeping plan he is trying to get through congress. look for the president to seize on the numbers to help him and try to it make the case that the economy is not bouncing back as quickly as they thought it is going to. it needs help in the meantime

still. >> stephanie, how can the projections be so far off? we expected a million and we get 266,000. how did they bungle that? >> it's about a gap. normally, if you would get a jobs number this disappointing, you would see the market tank. you didn't. why is that? because it's not that there aren't jobs. it's that people aren't filling them. you and i talked about this yesterday. for a number of reasons, whether expanded unemployment is keeping people home, childcare issues, many people have moved away from where they live and they are not able to work at that job anymore. there's a number of reasons why it's still bumpy and things aren't coming back smoothly yet. we see business advocacy groups urging, see, it's the expanded unemployment, people are paid so much they are staying home. the other side of the coin is, this could be the wage pressure that we need to finally raise wages for low-wage workers. democrats wanted to raise the

federal minimum wage. they didn't get that through. now you are seeing wage pressure, all sorts of businesses are forced to pay more, to bring people back. this number is one month. maybe it's a blip. we will see things start to smooth out. earlier this week, $28 billion went to restaurants. once that money works its way to the restaurants, they will likely offer more to get those employees back. it's going to make a lot of industries look at what they pay. think about this. waiters in many states make a couple bucks an hour plus tips. if during the pandemic you left your waitressing job because you had to and you went to work at a warehouse, those jobs provide health care and pay $15 or $16 an hour. all of this may expose how we need to change how we compensate people. just this idea off the bat, well, people are staying home because they make too much money, the government chose that amount of money because most likely it's what people need to get by. now they need to solve for all

of this. >> i caught your conversation with white house economic ad advisor during your hour. you asked why there are so many job openings that aren't being filled. this was her answer. >> we saw a lot of indications, deep in the data from april, that people are searching for work. we saw an uptick in the labor force participation rate. we saw a decrease in the share of folks working involuntarily part-time. we saw an increase in hours. we did not see an increase in people working multiple jobs. >> what did you make of her answer there? >> not that great, craig. for the last few weeks, i have been asking the white house over and over about this gap, why people aren't going to work. they keep saying, well, we don't see it in the data. remember, data is backward looking. every day, every week, more businesses are opening because regulations are being lifted.

people like you and me want to go out. the white house keeps pointing us to, we're not seeing it in the data. people don't tell anyone, i'm not going back because unemployment pays me more. the white house is going to have to do catch up and start answering for this. they have done an enormous amount in terms of support. no one is saying anyone is perfect. they may need to rejigger it. we see states start to change their rules. here is one example. normally, when you get unemployment, you have to show that you are out looking for a new job. because of the pandemic and that we wanted people to stay home and stay safe, we didn't have that requirement last year. that is in the expanded benefits. we could see that change in more states. >> shannon pettypiece, thank you. stephanie ruhle, don't go far. i want to come back to you once we hear from the president on this disappointing jobs report. breaking news involving four former police officers charged in the death of george floyd.

a federal grand jury just indicted all four for violating floyd's civil rights. our justice correspondent pete williams has been going through the court paperwork over the past hour or so. pete, what more can you tell us about the charges? >> well, they were filed by a grand jury yesterday and unsealed this morning after three of the officers had their initial appearances by video conference before a federal judge to be informed of the federal charges. there are two cases. one against the four officers involved in george floyd's death. then a second one against derek chauvin for an incident that happened in 2017 when police were called by a mother who said that her children were assaulting her and she wanted them removed from the house. according to court documents filed then, the allegation is that derek chauvin held this 14-year-old by the throat for 17 minutes and struck him a couple of typ times in the head with a

flashlight. it's a violation of civil rights, the right to be free from unreasonable seizure, which includes the right to be free from the unreasonable use of force by police officers. i said a moment ago or a little earlier on msnbc that this was an unusual charge, because that isn't often used in these cases. that's not true. this is the standard charge for officers civil rights cases. i was thinking if a civilian had done this, it's a different standard. in any event, this is i think a couple of things that can be said about this. it shows dedication by this justice department to be more aggressive in civil rights cases. and number two, the question now is, what will the federal government do now that it filed these charges? typically, when the federal government comes in, after the state has already filed charges, that's true in the george floyd case, the federal government will stand in the background and wait to see how the state case plays out. we will see if that is the case

here with the george floyd matter. this is, of course, the only charge now in the second one against derek chauvin. the question is, when will he come to trial if he does come to trial on the federal charge? one other thing has to be said about these cases. we have seen before where the justice department brings these charges, they are hard to make. it's a very high standard under federal law. you have to prove that the officer acted willfully, that he was aware he was doing something wrong, that he was intending to violate a civil right here. that is a high standard. doesn't mean it can't be met, but it's a difficult one to meet. >> pete, obviously, derek chauvin is in minnesota's only maximum security prison right now awaiting sentencing. these other three officers, are they out on bond? >> yes. >> these new charges don't do anything to that. okay. thank you, pete williams, our

justice correspondent. minnesota attorney general keith ellison released a statement and that statement said in part, federal prosecution for the violation of george floyd's civil rights is entirely appropriate, particularly now that derek chauvin has been convicted of murder. we are following breaking news in the race to get the covid vaccine to as many people as possible. pfizer has now applied for full fda approval for their covid vaccine. if approved, pfizer would be the first covid vaccine choice in the united states to hold that distinction. pfizer was given emergency authorization in december. so far, more than 134 million pfizer doses have gone into the arms of americans. i'm joined by the founding director of the national center for disaster preparedness. walk us through what this news

from pfizer means from a practical standpoint. >> well, craig, it's actually big news, because it is the first manufacturer that will be the first to get full approval. it doesn't have that much practical implications, because it's been full steam ahead for pfizer and moderna and johnson & johnson, et cetera, for administering the vaccine under the emergency use authorization. what i think that this permanent review by the fda will do is perhaps it will establish a greater level of confidence in people who have been hesitant or resistant to taking the vaccine at all. it says in effect, we can assure you, because of the more thorough tests, that the vaccine is effective and safe. i think it's really more of a psychological impact on resisters. actually, we need to do something. the number of people now willing to get vaccinated is dropping as the rates of vaccination have

been diminishing over the last couple of weeks. >> doctor, does this also -- would this make it easier for companies, u.s. military as well, to compel people to get the vaccination? >> well, theoretically, it would. again, people and organizations still can compel people, even under the eua. this will make it more possible, i think, much more likely that lots of organizations, not for profits, businesses, military, et cetera, will begin to say, you can't come to work, you can't come to the office, you need to be vaccinated. i think that will be a really good development, because we have so many people who are still hanging out there waiting for some sort of additional reassurance in order to get the vaccine. >> pfizer is the first. how soon do we think moderna and johnson & johnson -- how soon do we think they follow suit? >> right. they are all on the heels of

getting the permanent authorization. i think that will happen one after the other. all of them are preparing the research and documents they need right now. by the way, simultaneously, they are also working on getting approval to start administering the vaccine to children at younger ages. we will see 11, 12 to 15-year-olds eligible very quickly. eventually, hopefully by the end of the summer, we will see the vaccine available to and encouraged for children down as young as a couple months of age. i think that will be really helpful as well. >> that could be a game changer. have a great weekend. thanks. in the last hour, atlanta mayor talked about a decision that she announced last night that really took the political world by surprise. she's not going to run for re-election. this is part of what she said last hour. >> in the same way that it was very clear to me almost five

years ago that i should run for mayor of atlanta, it is abundantly clear to me today that it is time to pass the baton on to someone else. >> she was first elected in 2017 and is only the second woman to hold the position there in atlanta. she got quite a bit of national attention last year at president biden considered her as a running mate at one point. political world is wondering what bottoms will do next. so far, she's not saying. we expect to see and hear from president biden. he will talk about those new lower than expected jobs numbers. we will bring that to you live when the president starts. an nbc exclusive with west virginia republican senator shelly moore capito. why she thinks she can get a bipartisan deal on infrastructure with the white

this morning, we are monitoring what's happening inside the texas statehouse in austin. the vote on a bill that would restrict voting in texas could

soon happen there. overnight, democrats forced an all night fight in the republican controlled house. they had two goals. water down the bill as much as they could and delay, delay, delay. priscilla thompson had a late night there in austin covering all of the action for us. priscilla, it sounds like democrats had some success in their efforts. walk us through where things stand right now. >> reporter: craig, after a very long night here, democrats were able to push through 18 of their proposed amendments after some negotiations. those amendments include lowering criminal penalties that were originally proposed in the original version of this bill. it would also remove liability from election workers and volunteers for making honest mistakes. while some of the language in the bill is still there, for example, criminalizes sending unsolicited vote by mail applications. but democrats were able to get

in an amendment that would require the state to create an online portal for folks to track the early voting ballots. just a short while ago, i caught up with the policy director at the aclu in texas. i asked her if she considers these amendments to be a win. take a listen to what she told me. >> a bill that is so wildly disproportionate to the problem that he has identified, which does not exist, is not a win. there's no need for a bill that imposes new criminal penalties in the election code. jailable offenses in texas that empowers poll watchers to intimidate voters. there's no reason for that kind of bill to have been voted on at all. >> reporter: this bill does still have to go through one more vote today, at which point we expect it to advance to a conference committee where lawmakers will work to reconcile the house version and the senate

version into one bill. we still don't know yet which amendments and what is going to be in the final version of this bill. advocates tell me this battle is far from over and that all options are on the table to continue this fight. craig? >> priscilla thompson in the state capital in austin. thank you. i want to bring in david clooney, the executive director of the black economic alliance. the bill hasn't passed yet, but given the political landscape in texas, it's inevitable it will pass in some form. if and when that does happen, what's the next step to make sure that people are registered and informed on how to vote, specifically voters of color? >> craig, thank you for having me on. this bill is really part of a larger national phenomenon of over 360 bills being introduced in 47 states just since election

day, all under the auspices of voter security and integrity, which are a solution in search of a problem. what the black economic alliance was formed to do was hold our leaders in the public and private sector accountable to look out for the interests of black people and all of us. really, this is about an all out assault on democracy and engagement and access to both. what we are trying to do right now said indicate the business community. we have been calling the business community to speak on this because when the business community speaks, they have a different platform to speak from. lawmakers at the state and local level and federal level alike listen. also because the business community has made a commitment to look out for all of their stakeholders, particularly employees and the communities they serve. we have heard a lot of messaging paid to and financial commitment paid to equity. we need the business community

to call out what is, in fact, an attack on the most well participated in and highest number of voter engagement we have had. particularly, the largest impact black voters we have seen. this is texas -- it's one of the many states where the laws are passing. you saw a law pass in florida earlier in the week. obviously, georgia has gotten attention. this will be an ongoing discussion about who we are as a country and if we want people to engage in the process of voting and if so, if anybody has that access or just some people. >> more than 180 local businesses, 50 corporations have come out against this bill in texas. and others like it. you tweeted that, quote, voter suppression is bad for business. for folks who haven't been following this story as closely, david, how will these changes that are being proposed in texas -- how will they affect businesses? >> so, i think it's important to

see that there are efforts that have been taken up by the business community. a letter put out this week by fair elections texas with a number of businesses signing on saying that this was bad for business as well as the greater houston partnership came out and reissued a stronger statement than it had previously, which i think really failed to meet the moment, the original statement. essentially, all of these calls from the business community are saying, we want an environment in our state and in the country, but particularly in states where they decide to make investments, move employees and set up shop and try to invest in communities, they want an environment that is inclusive and welcoming of everybody. in places where that is not the case, in places like texas and georgia and florida and so many other states where the bills are moving around, where the state legislature and the state lawmakers are -- even at the local level are showing an ability to restrict and discriminate against certain

voters and certain constituents, restrict their ability to vote, that's going to be bad for business because companies who are there may not want to stay there and companies who are considering going there will look elsewhere. i think we saw examples of this a few years ago with protections for the lgbtq community that companies showed courage on like ncaa and paypal and others moved out of north carolina when they passed a law that was discriminatory against the lgbtq community. we're asking for the same. >> do you think that there's a chance in texas, in georgia, in florida as well where we have seen similar laws like this pass recently, that they could end up having the unintended affect -- by that i mean, next election cycle, you will have folks who perhaps have not typically been engaged in the process, because they feel their rights are restricted, they go out this droves, do you think that's a

possibility? >> yes, it is. let's be clear about the intent of the laws. it's to stop what it happened in 2020, which is the largest voter turnout we have had and the largest impact of black voters, to stop that from happening again. we need to make sure that is not carried out. your question is, could these have the unintended affect of mobilizing and galvanizing people to vote because they are motivated by people wanting to take away their right and access? that is absolutely possible. i think we saw some of that in 2020, where people understood that there were efforts undertaken to keep particularly black people away from the polls. that's why you had people waiting for 12 hours in some cases, bringing lunches with them. i think you can expect a similar amount of engagement. the problem is, what we don't want is people not having the proper access to vote by way of early voting, by way of automatic registration.

there are so many ways -- voter i.d. laws, we are concerned about the way the laws are really kind of surgically -- with surgical precision, they look at how to keep particular people, particularly back people and older folks and immigrants and certain communities marginalized away from the polls. even though these laws could have the unintended impact of motivating people to vote, we are concerned about people's actual access to the polls. we need to make sure that these laws don't pass and that even if we are able to galvanize and mobilize folks to get to the polls, which we will continue to do, people need to have the legal right and access to cast their ballot. >> we will leave it there. thank you. thanks for your time. enjoy your weekend. >> thank you. a bill to add a firing squad as a method of lethal execution is close to becoming law in south carolina. what bill is on its way to the

governor's desk. the house passed it wednesday. right now, there are 37 death row inmates in south carolina. it has been ten years since the state's last execution. there's been a nationwide shortage of lethal injection drugs. this would make south carolina, the fourth state to allow a firing squad. it's one of just nine that still use the electric chair. the governor has indicated he will sign that bill. president biden will talk about the new jobs report. to call that disappointing, might be the understatement. we will go live to the white house to see what the president has to say. an exclusive conversation. my colleague garrett haake spent time with republican senator at the center of negotiations with president biden on a big infrastructure deal. why she's confident she can get the white house and her republican colleagues on board. >> it's not that big a gap.

back now with a live look at the white house. any minute now, we are expecting president biden to deliver some remarks on the april jobs report. we will bring you what he has to say about the 266,000 jobs added, far below the projections that moment economists had

indicated we would see. we have brand-new reaction from the u.s. chamber of commerce. this just came down a short time ago. the chamber of commerce is now calling for an end to the $300 weekly supplemental unemployment benefits. the chamber in a post on twitter saying, quote, the disappointing jobs report makes it clear that paying people not to work is dampening what should be a stronger jobs market. this could all affect negotiations over the president's $2 trillion american jobs plan. democrats and republicans are working through details of this infrastructure package. this morning, we are learning more about how those bipartisan talks are going, specifically when it comes to the republicans' counterpropcounter. joined by garrett haake. he caught up with the republican

senator at the center of the negotiations. garrett, the senator says the proposal is not the final offer. it looks like a good sign for bipartisanship. how close are we on a deal? >> reporter: craig, i don't think we are close yet. after spending time with the senator yesterday, i can see how they can get there. the key issue here is going to be scope, agreeing on what should be in the scope of an infrastructure bill. you mentioned the price tag differentials. the biden administration plan includes $400 billion for elder care, additional tax credits. it includes things the republicans say ought to be priorities but ought not to be part of an infrastructure bill. senator capito told me, if they can agree on what should be in it, the money in the proposal is not all that different. she's expected to go to the white house next week with a couple of her republican colleagues, the ranking members on the relevant committees, to have some of this discussion with the president. here is what she told me about her level of optimism on whether they can reach an agreement.

listen. >> we will go in with our eight. they will come in with 28. we will start moving it down. seeing what areas, mr. president, do you think need to be included that we can say we believe, too, would be physical infrastructure. i'm not sure what that is right now. there probably are some things that we didn't include that would be proper and i think very appropriate in a core infrastructure bill. >> reporter: one example, i pressed her on over the interview, charging stations for electric vehicles. she said, that might be a good example of the kind of thing that republicans could potentially get behind, putting money towards in an infrastructure package, that qualified for their vision of what hard infrastructure is. the other big challenge is going to be, how do you pay for this? that's actually the bigger challenge here. republicans, including senator

capito, are dead set against raising the corporate tax rate, which is the vehicle in the biden plan to pay for this package. getting the sense of what to spend money on and how much to spend it on is one piece. where that money is going to come from, that's going to be a much more challenging conversation. >> two questions really quickly. they are against raising the corporate tax rate at all or raising it to the level the administration suggested? >> reporter: this is exactly my question. i said, is there something magical about a 21% corporate tax rate that by making it 22% the whole economy falls apart? she said, no. but they don't want to get into this idea of raising taxes. she worries that that's essentially a slippery slope, craig, and that any start down that path is not good for republicans. >> soundschopper is there to pick you up. >> reporter: that's right. >> i'm assuming the senator from

west virginia was to opposed to the $400 billion that the administration is proposing for home health care workers, for the elderly and infirm? they don't consider that part of infrastructure? >> reporter: they don't consider that part of infrastructure. that was a part of the interview. is this something you don't think is worth while for the government to do or you don't think it's worth while to do as part of the package? she said the latter. these are things that other committees at other times can talk about. republicans are in on the idea of infrastructure. in places like west virginia, they need it. they need broadband support in a state where you can't get cell signal across half of it. they need money to fix bridges and roads. it's the case across the country. she said, let's agree on what we can agree on and have the conversation about these other pieces somewhere else down the line. >> garrett haake, fascinating conversation. thank you. enjoy your background there in harpers ferry, west virginia. top republicans, including former president trump, are

backing republican new york state congresswoman elise stefanik's bid, her open bid to replace the third ranking democrat, liz cheney. we are getting reaction from people in her district. >> do you believe that she's representing the views of this district? >> no. she's doing it for selfish reasons. >> she's a republican. she's going to side with the republicans naturally. i think she's doing the best she can. >> the house is back in session next week. talk about awkward given how all of this is playing out so publically. what do we expect to see when the house comes back? >> reporter: craig, my sources are telling me that we could see congresswoman cheney ousted from leadership as early as wednesday when lawmakers start returning to washington. right now, congresswoman stefanik is the only game in town to replace her. i'm told she's been calling other members, whipping support,

letting people know that she wants to replace cheney in this job, if cheney is ousted. what stefanik has been doing is bolstering her conservative credentials, specifically with the maga crowd and pro-trump allies. she spent yesterday on radio with hosts like steve bannon. not talking necessarily about policy, but talking more about red meat issues for the trump base. things like making clear she supports the controversial audit in arizona and railing against cancel culture. that is really the explanation for what's happening here. it's not necessarily a question of adhering to conservative policy going forward. it's a question of adhering to trump principles going forward. senator graham put it well.

>> can we move forward without president trump? the answer is no. i have liked liz cheney. she made a determination the republican party can't grow with president trump. i have determined we can't grow without him. >> reporter: the argument that you are hearing from people like stefanik and others in house leadership is that cheney can have her opinion, but they don't want her leading a party that by and large does fall in line behind former president donald trump. on the other hand, what i have heard from some members is that they just don't want to continue relitigating this. they would like to turn their attention to 2022 and the path forward. they don't want to necessarily continue to relive the problematic pieces of donald trump's last few months in office, including the big lie and the fomenting of the insurrection on january 6th on capitol hill. >> thank you.

in enjoy your weekend. we wait for president biden to talk about the jobs report. when it starts, we will take you there live. how the biden administration plans to reunite entire families separated under president trump at the southern border. what the secretary of homeland security told jacob soboroff about their commitment to getting those families back together.

[music playing] this morning, we are learning new details about the plans for reuniting migrant families separated at the border. the administration now says it may bring whole families to the united states, not just children and their parents. jacob soboroff joins me now. he just spoke exclusively with homeland security secretary mayorkas. jacob, tell us about the biden administration's new plan. what does the secretary believe the migrants will be able to do?

will they stay here permanently? >> i was surprised to hear the administration is considering allowing entire families, not just the mother or father separated from a child, but maybe siblings or stepparents so that families don't have to re-separate for the reunifications. the bigger question is whether or not their entry into the united states will be permanent as their lawyers are asking for. that's one of the first things i asked secretary mayorkas about when we sat down yesterday. watch this. >> we are very much focused on providing stability to the reunited families and not just for her but for the family as a unit. it's not something we can guarantee at this point in time. we are dedicated to achieving more than what we have delivered thus far. this, i think, is a temporary measure. unite the family, reunite the family and then let's work together with those representing the family to see what we can

achieve under the law. and i think what these families both need and deserve. >> reporter: what i think i hear you say is it's going to work out, but you are not able to guarantee it yet? >> we're going to do everything we can to make it work out. >> reporter: secretary mayorkas referred to she. he was talking about sandra ortiz, the mother of brian chavez who we introduced everybody to. that's a question they are wondering about and all of the separated families, over 1,000 once they are reunited, will they stay here? you heard the secretary stay, it's his goal. but he can't guarantee it's going to happen. >> sounds like it came close. jacob soboroff who has been on this story for several years, thanks, as always. this morning, as this country races to get as many americans vaccinated as possible, the focus is turning to states with low rates.

in wyoming, just 29% of the population there is fully vaccinated. cal perry is in cheyenne, wyoming, this morning. what are you hearing from folks there about getting the shot? what are they saying about why they are not? >> reporter: look, it seems to be three groups of people. people desperate to get the vaccine right away. people hesitant to get it but willing to get it depending on the evidence that they are presented. the third group of people of which health officials seem to not spend time on, people who say they absolutely won't get the vaccine. the middle group of people can be persuaded that they are focusing on. listen to what this man is thinking about. >> i kind of want to watch and see maybe as it progresses. i can't say as it gets better. but you hear stories of side effects and -- i don't need a side effect. >> reporter: are you hearing similar things from your

customers? >> yeah. a lot don't want to get the shot. >> reporter: as far as public health officials are concerned, we had a county administrator tell us there's an easy way and hard way. the easy way is everybody gets vaccinated. the hard way is for people to get sick. that is the concern, because people will get sick. there's a push to get to the middle group of people who can be persuaded to get the vaccine. >> cal perry in cheyenne, wyoming. thank you. we are keeping an eye on the white house where we expect to see president biden talking about the rough news jobs report that we have been telling you about. we will bring that to you live. the details of a school shooting in idaho with a middle school girl charged, that's next.
