while we may be a long way from normal, leave it to the box office to offer hope for a hollywood ending. >> that's a big number for "a quiet place ii." we will see if it continues through the summer. that does it for us. stephanie ruhle picks up coverage. hey, steph. hi, there, i'm stephanie ruhle. it's tuesday, june 1st, the start of five month. here's what's happening. travel is up to its highest levels in over a year as americans are turning home from the holiday weekend. as scenes at stadiums, family gatherings and beaches a sign things are returning to normal. but there's new concerning data for unvaccinated americans. meanwhile, down in the state of texas, the battle over a new restrictive voting bill is

heating up. governor greg abbott now threatening to cut off funding to state legislators. but we start with president biden set to depart from oklahoma this morning, to mark 100 years since one of the worst incidents of racial violence in united states' history, which is known as the tulsa race massacre. on may 31st, 1921, a violent, white mob attacked and destroyed one of the nation's most prosperous black neighborhoods. at the time it was known as black wall street, leaving as many as 300 people dead, thousands homeless and scores of businesses completely destroyed. ahead of his trip to tulsa, the biden administration just announced new steps this morning to narrow the racial wealth gap in america, focusing specifically on small businesses and affordable housing. the president also declared monday a day of remembrance by issuing a proclamation saying this -- i call on the american

people to reflect on the deep roots of racial terror in our nation and recommit to the work of rooting out systemic racism across our country. jermaine lee and antonia hylton are live in tulsa, and brendan nails alford, descendant of the survivors of the tulsa race massacre also joins us. president biden is calling it a day of remembrance. let's start, what does that mean and what is he doing today? >> that's right, thank you for having me, stephanie. joe biden's visit to tulsa is important for a number of reasons. it validates the story folks have been telling him in this community for a very long time. i expect him first to reflect what this momentumly means and pay respect to the estimated 300 people or so killed and all of the violence this community experienced afterwards. he will also roll out the plan to shrink the racial wealth gap. billions of dollars in federal contracts to black-owned businesses, tinker with some of the housing rules undermined by

trump, try to strengthen those. also again pouring money to communities marginalized for so very long. equalizing equity in home appraisals. our homes, our wealth, one thing black people have been stripped of. i don't expect to hear much about reparations. people in the community are saying we want more and clear detail to get us to reparations. first and foremost, biden comes and acknowledges the bloody two days experienced here over 100 years ago and this plan says to shrink to racial wealth gap. stephanie? >> antonia, you're atsy cemetery where a massive dig is taking place directly related to the massacre. what's going on there? >> that's right, stephanie. i'm at oaklawn cemetery, a couple minutes down the road from tremaine, and this is a site of a highly anticipated average logical kid to start in a couple hours. at a mass grave behind me in the

far back corner of the cemetery, where scientists, researchers, believe they may have found the remains of the victims from the 1921 race massacre. what we're going to see happen today are researchers, archaeologists and some community members as well come inside the cemetery and bring in heavy machinery that they're going to be carefully bringing in and organizing around the site of the mass grave. they're going to use that machinery to remove a top layer of soil to get down close to the coffins that they found and then you're going to see archaeologists actually get down in there with small tools and brushes to start the painstaking and very careful process actually unearthing these bodies for examination and hopefully identification. take a listen to alicia odewalle. she's an archaeologist involved in this effort and expert in artifacts that can be found. take a listen. >> whenever get our hands on artifacts, it tells a story. for us as archaeologists, it's

for us to try to interpret what the artifacts are actually saying because the people who left those behind can no longer speak. the artifacts are their way of telling their story. for us it's a way to tap into the past. we're often the first people to touch those items since the people who left them behind. >> the community here believes the discovery of potential artifacts of bodies of potential victims of the massacre is a key and critical part of the healing and reconciliation people feel still needs to happen here in this city. so it's important to note they're going to be community members here, descendants here who actually get to witness this and play an important role in deciding what happens to remains, will people be buried? what happens to artifacts? will they go into museums? will families be returned some of their heritage? stephanie? >> brenda, you play a very important role in all of this and we so appreciate you being

with us today. can you tell us what happened to your family, what all of this means to you? >> yes. my family members were black wall street entrepreneurs and survivors of the race massacre who lost all of their businesses and homes during those tragic hours. they ran for their lives from our beloved greenwood neighborhood only to return to find, as i said, everything looted and burned to the ground. >> brenda, for decades, the tulsa massacre was never talked about. it wasn't taught in school. it wasn't part of the american history so many of us know. how important is it for america to now recognize this important part of our horrible history? >> it is so very important for us to ed indicate our community and our nation about these horrible events, to make sure that these situations never happen again, if you will.

this is a time for us to focus on having those conversations and to be able to promote some sense of healing and some sense of justice for our community that suffered so greatly during these atrocities. >> what would justice lube like? what do you want to hear from president biden today? what do you want him to do? >> i think that healing process has begun in the fact we are having those conversations and were able to speak with each other about our thoughts about those terrible times, and to bring some sense of justice, as i said, to the community in hopes that this situation will never, ever happen again to any community in these united states. i'm very, very grateful that the president will be here today to help us to commemorate and remember the memories of those who were lost during the race massacre, and also those of us

who still remain here to carry on the legacies of our families. >> brenda, thank you so much for joining us this morning. tremaine, antonia, always good to see you bong. now turning to the state of texas. the battle lines now drawn, i'm talking voting rights. republican governor greg abbott now saying the fight is not over to pass a controversial bill that would add new restrictions to voting in the state of texas. state democrats managed to block republicans from passing the legislation late sunday night by staging a walkout. but governor abbott is now saying he's threatening to cut off funding for the legislature, targeting lawmakers' pay, basically saying they're not doing their jobs. morgan chesky is live in dallas. erin hayes, editor at large for the 19th year to discuss. erin, where does this battle stand this morning? some would say that walkout was

representatives exactly doing their job, stopping something restrictive happening to their state? >> that's right, steph. no resolution inside and that walkout you mentioned, only the fourth time that's been used in texas state history. democrats here saying they're going to do whatever it takes to make sure the current version of senate bill 7 does not go through. this is coming after they say they failed to have any sort of compromise at all with the republicans here. i am waiting to hear what democratic lawmaker had to say following the past week's ordeal. take a listen. >> they were prepared to cut us off and try to silence us. we were not going to let them do that, and that's why democrats used the last tool available to us, we denied them the quorum they need to pass this bill, so we killed that bill. >> so let's talk about what's in senate bill 7.

critics point to a few key points that they say would impact black and brown communities here, disenfranchising some of the voters here. it starts with the fact it limited voting hours. we are sewing early voting will be 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. specifically sunday voting will go from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and that would impact the get out the vote efforts that are popular at black and latino churches. in addition to that, they say it makes it more difficult to cast mail-in ballots by requiring driver's license numbers or social security numbers on the request for the mail-in vote. and it eliminates those 24-hour polling stations and drive-thru voting centers, those incredibly popular. of course, they came up as a result of covid-19 but were particularly used in harris county, where houston is, which saw just a massive voter turnout

there. important to note, what other key element here critics point to, when it comes to fraud and the potential idea of fraudulent brolts being cast, this gives election officials the authority to, if they find fraudulent balance could have impacted the election, the chance to order a redo all together instead of actually having to prove that true fraud existed with those ballots. steph? >> let's just say that one more time. let's remind our audience, even the state legislature, the republicans who are trying to put in place this restrictive bill, they are not saying there was any evidence of widespread fraud in texas in the last election. erin, were democrats successful at killing this bill sunday night, or did they just delay it? at this point the governor said he will add it to a special session to get passed. ever democrats delaying the inevitable? >> they delayed it for now,

stephanie. that is why you really hear texas democrats calling on democrats in congress to get something done for the john lewis voting rights act. they are saying federal legislation to address voter access would really do a lot to counter the measures that are happening or on the march in places like texas, like the legislation that we saw passed successfully in georgia, passed successfully in florida, and being debated in state legislatures in more than a dozen states across the country, even as we speak. listen, we know that these voting measures are targeting those black-and-brown voters who turned out in record numbers. in texas alone, you had the largest voter turnout in november 2020 in more than a generation. so measures like these are specifically aimed at countering that turnout. to your point, stephanie, this is not about election integrity.

a specific threat to election integrity. it's about -- as one texas representative said, the optics and restoring confidence in elections and restoring confidence for who really has to be the question we ask now, because we know according to our own government, this was the safest and most secure election in the history of our country. >> erin, if congress doesn't do anything on a federal level, what happens? it's not just texas. at this point 14 states have passed new restrictive voting laws since the beginning of the year. if something doesn't happen in washington, where are we headed? >> well, stephanie, i think what you continue to see is a battle between those who are in favor of expanding voter access and those who are seeking to curtail that access so the ballot, especially at the state level. the thing about this, these

efforts are meant to suppress voter access, especially for that expanded electorate but the other thing that we have seen this doing is galvanizing a lot of these communities that this legislation is meant to -- not necessarily meant to but who we know will be impacted by these kinds of measures and they see this as a lot of activists i'm talking to, organizers, voters who say they're determined to cast their ballot, even in the case of these measures. i think you saw a lot of that in this last election and folks who got elected officials into office, democrats inspite of these laws being passed or discussed, rigged election, conversations being -- happening in the last election, they're now calling on their democratic members of congress to really quite prevent as hard as they fought to get them elected. >> people want to exercise their

right to vote, and they want to live in a state where they actually can do it. erin, morgan, thank you both so much. we're going to leave it there. we have a lot to cover. four-time grand slam naomi osaka withdraws from the french open, shocking athletes and fans across the world. the reason behind her decision and plea to the sports world. down in the state of florida, people stepping up the search for gunmen spotted in this surveillance video who shot more than 20 people in six seconds over the weekend. first, covid cases are at their lowest levels in more than a year. and we just got breaking news about one of the vaccines. you do not want to miss this. stick around.

now to the breaking news in the fight against covid-19. we learned this morning moderna asked for new approval of its emergency vaccine. until this time it's been approved for just emergency use of the vaccine. and meanwhile the average number of coronavirus cases dropped to their lowest levels since march of last year. that is very good years. dr. michael osterholm, director of research at the university of minnesota is joining us.

how big of a deal is this? i don't know the difference between emergency approval and full approval? >> it's really just a formality. we knew the vaccines would be going for full approval from both pfizer and moderna. these vaccines have been exceptional in their performance. this is really just crossing the ts and dotting the is in terms of final approvals. it will make a difference for some who have been suspectful of the vaccines not being fully licensed and not getting fully vaccinated, so hopefully this removes that barrier. >> cal, you're at reagan airport. i know as soon as the somebody hits, everybody comes at much and things get crazy. obviously, reagan national airport isn't as fun as the jersey shore so the crazy factor is different, but what's happening where you are? >> look, we are seeing the same thing across the east coast and across the country. i've got the numbers to prove it, on friday tsa cleared 1.95

million passengers through security lines. that is high since the pandemic began. over the weekend, not including yesterday, tsa cleared 7 million passengers. this weekend in many ways was a stress test on the travel industry and all of these other facets of the economy. look, we had some stumbles but no major disasters. the lines at security were long. they were long in airports across the country. tsa is going to hire more folks. they already hired more than 3,000 since the beginning of the year. they will hire another 3,000 before july 4th, 3,000 before labor day. hopefully that will alleviate some of these lines. rental cars were a nightmare in places like hawaii, arizona and florida. it did take a while to get the cars back. that was a labor issue, and we talked about that quite a bit. the last thing are these ride-sharing apps. prices were up. some cars were difficult to find. if you read the morning papers in boston, that was a nightmare over the weekend. stumbling blocks the industry

hopes, stephanie, they will sort out before july 4th. >> vegas has one business -- tourism. what's the situation there right now? >> stephanie, tourism coming back to las vegas right now. over the weekend visitors came to vegas. it's changed completely. we were reporting here about a year ago when things shut down, this place was so quiet, you could hear birds in the trees. we have numbers for the month of april. this year 2.5 million visitors coming to las vegas. now, that is still smaller number if you compare to 2019, before the pandemic, when vegas was receiving about 3.5 million visitors but things have improved. beginning today, june 1st, everything has reopened 100% capacity in the entire county. so we do expect tourism to increase, even more with more live concerts or live concerts coming back. of course, the convention that always brings lots of tourism to

las vegas, stephanie. >> did you see that graph? what shape was it? a v. remember this time last year the trump administration was talking about all about the v-shaped recovery. you couldn't get to the v until you got the vaccine. we have the vaccine now, dr. osterholm, and it's really good news. i mentioned earlier, the case rate is down to 18,000. is there a number where we can get to where we might start to say, we beat this thing? because over the last year, you and i have talked when there are all of these signs of hope and you kept saying don't get too hopeful, we're just at the foothills of this. we got to be past the foothills at this point. >> well, we surely hit our major peak in january and cases have been coming down. as you saw in michigan and minnesota in april, we saw a reminder of what can happen if resurgence occurs. we're in a tale of two cities now. the vast majority of the country things are looking much, much better than they were just six

months ago, where we are seeing 68% to 78% of the population vaccinated. and particularly the sun belt states and some in the west, we are seeing areas where fewer than 40% of the population have not had any vaccine at all and some counties in the south closer to 20%. so we're still going to see these spots surges of cases that will occur over the weeks to months ahead and that's why we have to continue to see pushing the vaccines and explaining to the public how valuable these are, how they cannot only save your life but life of your loved one and colleagues. it's not time to let up. good news, absolutely, great news. but we still have work to do. >> doctor, the thing is, those are surges by design. "the washington post" did this fascinating study, i mean it's not a surprise but amazing when you look at the numbers, among unvaccinated people, the case rate is 73% higher than what it

is among the total population and it also said death and hospitalization rates have not dropped in months for those who are unvaccinated. here's the thing, they have chosen not to be vaccinated. what do we do? >> yep. we're going to have to try everything we can. i think we do have evidence that people are softening their opposition to the vaccine in many circles. we've seen that over the past two months, where as more data is accumulating, showing just how good these vaccines are, how safe they are and the fact if getting vaccinated is your kind of get out of jail kard from the fear of becoming infected. so the more work we do, the more things will improve on that. but unfortunately they will be part of those statistics you cited, stephanie and "the washington post" article pointed that out clearly, if you're vaccinated, you have very, very different numbers than if you're not vaccinated.

>> want to stay healthy? get vaccinated. dr. michael osterholm, ga waud, cal, thank you all so much. now we have to turn to miami. that shooting that took place at a banquet all this weekend and massive manhunt that's still under way today. miami police released this video. it's really tough to watch. it shows the masked gunmen pulling up to the scene, $130,000 is being offered for information that leads to their arrest. nbc's sam brock is still following this story. sam, what's the latest? >> stephanie, good morning. i was in touch with the police here within the last hour. they do not have a planned conference or update today. they also, steph, are not disclosing what information, if any, might have been cleaned from that car that was recovered in a canal nine miles away from where the shooting took place and where i'm standing because it's part of an active investigation. certainly you mentioned $130,000 being offered from the atf and

cnbc so they can continue to provide suspects, and that's now happening. and we see the three suspects leaving the suv carrying assault style weapons. they're only gone for six seconds, back in the car and fleeing the scene. that's how long it took to shoot 23 people. it's not just this mass shooting either, stephanie. "the miami herald" is reporting there are seven incidents of gun violence in miami. just since last week. one last friday, of course, saturday night into sunday. we saw two people were shot at a south beach institution right near it, prime 112 in south beach overnight, two others were hospitalized after a drive-by shooting in north miami. i was out recording something at about 6:00 after we recovered this mass shooting only to hear sirens rushing by us because police in miami were going to another shooting in the midtown neighborhood. this is how frequent this drumbeat of violence incidents

have been and it has impacts on real families. we saw that yesterday in realtime during the press conference. watch this. >> you killed a good kid for no reason! you're going to burn until you find out who killed my son! you all promise to take care of me! i need help! >> reporter: that is the pain that affects our community right there, right before you. that's why together all of us, we must work harder to bring justice to these families who are crying as you hear right now. know that the miami-dade police department will not stop. we will bring justice. >> reporter: steph, in terms of where the investigation goes from here, homicide detectives say they are processing forensics right now, reviewing more video, federal agencies are getting involved. atf, fbi and race is on to find these suspects. steph? >> it took them six seconds to

shoot 23 people. sam, thank you. appreciate you staying on this story. coming up -- president biden scheduled to meet with top republicans working on the infrastructure bill. tomorrow as time runs out to reach a deal, what is happening? and israeli's prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the political fight of his life. inside the very unlikely coalition that could end up taking power any day now. from prom dresses to workouts and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have long term consequences.

time appears to be running out for the white house and senate republicans to reach a deal on infrastructure. while the president is scheduled to meet with the republicans' lead negotiator shelley moore capito tomorrow, it's unclear how much more the two sides are willing to budge. thus far, not much. joining us now is nbc news political hill reporter sahil cap ur and axios reporter. the white house appears to be giving them another week or so. they have this meeting. but talk is cheap. any chance of something real happening behind the chitchat? >> stephanie, yes, there's something real happening. the two sides are inching close to each other but very, very slowly. right now the meeting between president biden and senator capito tomorrow comes days after

they traded offers and continue to be $1.4 trillion apart. simply put, they will not resolve that in one meeting. democrats see this as a win-win, because in their view they can convince republicans to go along in some kind of agreement or look to moderate democrats and say we tried, this will not happen, and we have to go it alone. there has to be a process in the views of democratic leaders and white house to get to a place where democrats can say let's move this budget vehicle and bypass republicans and do it alone. they can't, as you pointed out, stephanie, growing antsiness in the democratic party about moving forward. they're very wary of getting stuck into another 2009 style that drags for months and months without an end game. the question is does this get them to a decision point on whether to go it alone? >> hans, i don't ever want to be pessimistic but even if they're inching closer on what's in the deal, they're miles apart on how

to pay for it. white house wants to raise taxes. republicans say no chance, let's use unused covid money and the white house said there is no unused covid money. given all of that, what are they actually talking about? >> oh, just how to pay for it with deficit spending, right? that's the easiest fix we picked up last week on the hill. no one's quite admitted to that yet. the stalking horse for the endless frontier act, so-called china bill, i think they renamed it, if they agree to deficit spending in there to the tune of $200 billion, their ideological opposition to deficit spending in a crisis or noncrisis kind of withers away. that's the solution here, right, to have some pay fors and then do deficit spending for the rest of it. but whether that will happen, i will yield back my time to sahil, who probably has a better sense of that down on the hill. >> sahil, if the white house cannot cut a deal with republicans, where do they stand with getting enough democrats on

board? >> that's the big question, stephanie. these two things are very interrelated. they dose these negotiations in part to convince moderate democrats in the house and particularly the senate they tried. they cannot simply go it alone without convincing them they tried. and the key thing to note here is there's not going to be one specific moment where, okay, dems have the votes and will do it alone. there will be a process. covid like the $1.9 trillion bill. but they will drag it out, do it longer, continue negotiations while they do that, talking about the likeliest scenario. they will continue and democrats pursue a separate track if they decide to go it alone. key thing here, the white house has not ruled out doing both, cutting a small deal with republicans and doing a bigger deal with democrats. and as hans point out, so democrats learned you get in

less trouble if paying for things than deficit spending. this spent years and years getting hounded by republican attack ads. covid relief bill was with popular. they didn't pay for it. the country didn't care, stephanie. >> the key to politics, pay-tos. hans, let me ask you about the filibuster. democrats keep threatening to get rid of the 60-vote threshold t came up again because they couldn't get republicans to back the january 6th commission. here's the thing they keep saying, we might do it, it's a possibility. it could happen. then they don't. why threaten if you're not going to do it? at this point, none of these threats seem to be pushing republicans to change their behavior in any way. >> yeah, they're trying to threaten manchin. they're trying to put pressure on manchin and maybe sinema, the holdouts possibly on lifting if you have a one-time event for the filibuster, it erodes the filibuster long term. really what this is about, and

in some ways these two conversations, filibuster and s-1 and what you do about reconciliation, big package, small package, they're related. so manchin, sinema and lesser extent senator warren. but the larger senators are the ones driving this. sahil's timeline on when you jump tracks, the white house over the weekend put out pete buttigieg said june 9th would be the date they decide. in reality, it will be john manchin making the decision, sinema. if manchin and sinema want bipartisan talks to extend to labor day, they will extend to labor day, because there simply isn't another track, if we're going to use the metaphor, to jump for. as long as we're on metaphors, stephanie, i'm so glad you stayed within the standard system going inches to miles. i thought you were going to say they're inches apart but traveling by inches but meters apart but you stayed with it, congratulations. happy memorial day. >> i am never going to the metric system. i know that you like to be a bit euro, hans, but, true blue, red,

white and blue, usa. i never go metric. hans, sahil, thank you so much. quick programming note, i assure you, there's no way hans nichols will miss our show on friday. we will be at a shopping mall this friday as we get the latest jobs report. we will be live from the garden state plaza in paramus, new jersey. i can tell you that is a mall where i have spent a lot of hours. you know, the nation may look like it is returning to normal, but we're going to take you to the ground. how are businesses and everyday americans doing financially. what is the road ahead? we're going to be talking to economic experts, ceos and a whole lot more. friday morning jobs day right here on msnbc. now let's turn overseas where israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the next days, he could be losing power. could you believe that? two opposition leaders agreed to work together to oust netanyahu, and they got closer to a power-sharing deal overnight. but it's not that simple.

their politics are so very different, and netanyahu says he's not going quietly. no surprise. this headline says it all -- "netanyahu's enemies may have a deal, but they haven't got a government yet." kelly cobiella is live. kelly, what is this coalition made of? what will it take to get rid of netanyahu? he's been in power over ten years. >> yeah, not an easy task, that's for sure, stephanie. we're talking about a coalition of eight different parties. they run the full range of the political spectrum but there are two parties in particular to pay attention to. the centrist party, led by former tv anchor who is bringing all of these disparate pieces together, and religious right party led by former ally of netanyahu's. his name is kali bennett. you probably heard his name before.

he and his party were key in making this happen. he was sort of on board, sort of on board before the coalition broke out against hamas and said friday night he's back on board to go through an election for the good of the country than another in two years. so this will be prime minister if it holds. but it's a fragile collision. made up of a lot of different parts, and everyone wanting to unseat benjamin netanyahu, stephanie. >> kelly, thank you so much. we will be keeping an eye in all that's going on in tel aviv. coming up -- tennis star naomi osaka withdraws from the french open sending shockwaves across the sports world. we will look at the athletes coming to her defense and new backlash she's facing. breaking news first from the supreme court. it will not take up johnson &
