tv Katy Tur Reports MSNBC June 2, 2021 11:00am-12:00pm PDT
11:00 am
making it as easy as possible so that's all i have for today. with that, let me hand it off to my friend, yasmin vossoughian, who is sitting in for katy tur. >> thank you, chuck. welcome, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian in for katy tur as you were just listening to joe biden, the president, basically talking about what was happening with the covid response in this country. he mentioned that the goal come july is reaching 70% of those vaccinated, getting one shot by july. at this moment, as we speak, 63% of americans have one shot of the covid vaccine. this is a ground game, as chuck mentioned. and the president engaging in that ground game, sending the vice president on tour, trying to get folks involved and vaccinated as much as possible.
11:01 am
pharmacies open 24 hours a day, uber and lyft providing free transportation to folks wanting to get vaccinated. child care, if you need child care, the president saying places are providing free child care. so a ground and local game across this country, trying to get as many folks vaccinated as possible, reaching that 70% number by the month of july. one shot in the arm of americans. so as we think about that, and the covid response when it comes to the biden administration, the president facing another major uphill battle, and we are just minutes away from a rare meeting at the white house, and potentially a make or break moment for a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. the president will sit down with a prominent member of the opposing party, even if some top biden advisers move, it's still
11:02 am
a high stakes move. not even the vice president will be there. both sides say they want a deal, but privately they're still far apart. not only on how to pay for it, but even the very definition of what infrastructure is. the president has already went past his deadline. the new deadline is five days from now. it's perhaps the west virginia senator most critical if biden wants to get anything done on infrastructure, as he made clear with an unexpected sway. >> i hear all the folks on tv saying why doesn't biden get this done? well, because biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the house and a tie in the senate, with two members of the senate who vote more with my republican friends. but we're not giving up. >> so he didn't necessarily say there were gains, but it's known
11:03 am
he was referring to joe manchin and kirsten sinema. they are centrists and manchin made clear he wants a bipartisan deal and he said he's not willing to nuke the filibuster. that oval office meeting is expected to happen in this hour. you'll want to keep it right here as we watch that. joining me now is monica alba, garrett haake, heidi przybilla who is in philadelphia for us. thanks for joining us. monica, before we get to infrastructure, give me any top lines that you heard of that i didn't necessarily mention from the president's press conference. >> reporter: just on friday, the president was touting the progress of vaccination, but the number was around 62% of those adults with at least one dose. here we are about five days later on wednesday, and it's around 63%, climbing to 64%, so
11:04 am
that shows you this is very incremental progress at this point, and if they do want to get to the 70%, they believe they're going to reach that goal, given the current pace. but we're talking about really going and doing this outreach, that's highly personal and that's why the vice president and the second gentleman are going to be physically traveling and trying to convince these people, because as the president said, it's easier than ever to get your shot. so those folks who maybe haven't decided to do it may not be swayed to do it. that's why they're offering all these incentives. the one thing the president touted there, free beer if you get your covid vaccine by the fourth of july. something i think a lot of us can relate to as a potential incentive that. is what the message was from the white house today. think of all the things you can get if you go and do this public service. they're hoping folks show up in person. >> beer sounds nice about right now. as we talk about the president's
11:05 am
press conference, i want to talk about infrastructure and this major meeting that's happening between the president and capitol hill. this is a one on one meeting. it is unprecedented, monica. do that mean that with these two individuals in the oval office, something could get done? >> reporter: so the two people who have said the most often they believe there can be a breakthrough here are joe biden and senator kapito. it's everybody else that haven't been quite so concern, because the two sides remain so far apart. but he's going to be rolling out the blue carpet for her, and this discussion, which we're told a portion of which will be one on one, just the two of them. no staff, no aides, trying to hammer out some of these details. we know that the president in his last meeting said he wanted republicans to come up toward $1 trillion. the white house still wants something in the $1.7 trillion range. but really the republicans had already given their counterproposal.
11:06 am
so this is incumbent on the white house to say this is where we can come down from the $1.7 trillion, but we pressed the press secretary whether there is going to be a counteroffer. the only thing that is absolutely certain is the timeline has come down to these final days. so this could be the last in a series of a lot of different meetings. but it is right to note it is the smallest of this. we know there have been a lot of virtual discussions. but the fact that it's just the two of them coming up in 45 minutes, we're hoping to get a readout from both sides. but we don't expect a deal to be reached by the time this meeting wraps up today. >> john denver, "country roads" has been on my mind all day. it looks like all eyes are on west virginia. to me, it seems as if, with shelly in the oval office, joe manchin is the single most
11:07 am
important person in washington, d.c. to get anything legislatively done. >> reporter: you only have to know the chorus to "country roads" you don't have to know the refrain. joe biden needs one senator, not necessarily both. if he can strike a deal with senate republicans and shelly brings along nine colleagues or much more, mitch mcconnell as recently today in kentucky said he's still backing kapito's efforts to strike a bipartisan deal. so if there is a bipartisan deal to be had, joe manchin is just one of any other senators that might vote for it. but if there's not a bipartisan deal to be had, and that's the more likely option given how far apart the two sides are off. then joe manchin becomes important, because the democrats could try to pass a bill through
11:08 am
reconciliation. every additional thing joe biden wants to do will be harder. joe manchin wants bipartisanship. and every democrat, including in the house, with that small margin of four votes not with standing, is going to have to be marching in lock step to do a reconciliation bill. without kapito, joe manchin becomes more important. he's still the second most important joe in washington. >> what is the word here, garrett, is this more for joe manchin or that the president said he tried to be bipartisan? >> based on monica's reporting and the comments today, the ball is very much in the white house's court. if they want to make another offer, they can do so. but it's unlikely that shelly is going to agree to a deal in this
11:09 am
meeting today. i don't think the president is bringing one. which says to me this might be a big important meeting because it may be the last bipartisan infrastructure meeting we're going see. >> we're talking about infrastructure here. heidi, i want to bring you in. we talk a lot about brick roads and highways, bridges, schools incredibly important. schools crumbling around the country. talk to us about this. >> reporter: yeah, i'm outside the fernes high school here in philadelphia that is suffering from major indoor quality problems. this looks like a beautiful cool, right? it was built in 1912. the architecture is beautiful. but if you go inside, according to the philadelphia federation of teachers, there are a number of health and safety hazards lurking inside, including exposed asbestos, clumping lead paint. there's a fourth floor condemned after raining water was raining down on them. this is just a number of the
11:10 am
hazards that the principal tells us they can feel unsafe to even be in this building. take a listen to what the students had to say. >> we look around, it's like, this does not look like america to me. it looks like a third world country inside the building. that is sad. i developed a rash all over my body. you see blisters and it start to ooze out. >> half of the furniture if the classrooms, it's broken. half of the time you're leaning or something. >> my biology class, which i had first period, there was a hole in the ceiling, in the tiles. and there was a bucket at the bottom where water would just slowly drop and trickle down basically. and there were buckets put all throughout that area where that hole was to catch any water that was falling. >> one time during -- i forgot which room was it, like the whole ceiling just went down and
11:11 am
almost hit a teacher. >> that was in my room, too. >> reporter: so these are the conditions under which we're telling american children in inner cities that they should pull themselves up by their boot straps. it's not just in philadelphia. we got the first look at infrastructure in schools last year. they found 36,000 schools in need of updated h-vac systems that could lead to indoor air quality and mold problems. >> kids also having to deal with the falling apart of their schools. thank you, guys, appreciate it. so amid growing pressure on another issue, the president acknowledged yesterday that something needs to be done about voting rights. >> i have been engaged in this work my whole career. and we're going to be ramping up efforts to overcome again. i will have more to say about this at a later date. the unprecedented assault on our democracy. >> it's not clear what the
11:12 am
administration can do. the president put vice president harris in charge of the effort, but rank and file democrats in texas demanding that they pass the voting rights legislation. but republicans, they just won't support it. joining me now is our msnbc contributor. great to see you this afternoon. thank you for joining us on this. we just heard from the president, talking about the vice president about hitting the trail and trying to get as many shots in arms for so many americans. so she's got that going on for her. she's got immigration and voting rights, as well, as we heard from the president yesterday. how can she get all this done? >> well, when you talk to people at the white house and you talk to her staff, the vice president's office, they say that she is equipped to do all of this, that being vice president means you're going to be juggling a lot of things. the critics, especially republicans say this is an
11:13 am
impossible issues to deal with. you have the pandemic, the immigration issues, and then you have voting rights. these are all three really, really big things in the country. you look at voting rights and all that's going on, 14 dates that passed laws. you have 40 something states that are trying to pass laws unrelated to voting when it comes to gop back fills. and the big question is not what will the vice president do but what will congress do and the two democrats in the senate do. >> you have a lot of folks speaking out now asking them to do away with the filibuster. let's take a listen to that quickly. oh, i actually i wanted to read some of the things they've been saying. apologies for that.
11:14 am
>> i could go on and on. and then you have texas legislators calling the president and saying get something done. this is dangerous what's getting passed in our state. so is the president actually hearing these calls? >> the president, based on my conversations with white house officials, are hearing these calls, but they're not hearing a change in his stance on what to do with the filibuster. i remember a few months ago pushing the president about the filibuster. i asked him directly, do you back the idea of some sort of change to the filibuster when it comes to voting rights and civil rights, like jim clyburn backed that issue. and the president said ad of now, he does not change that. the big issue, joe manchin isn't changing his mind. today at the white house, we saw the white house press secretary trying to massage the relationship between the president who is facing pressure, and the democrats, kristen sinema and joe manchin.
11:15 am
you heard the president say i have two friends that vote more with republicans than the democrats. after a fact check, that's not true. but there is this feeling in the white house, the white house press secretary said this wasn't meant as a criticism. but of course, that was the president airing his frustration when it comes to what he can get done. >> is there a worry that this could come back to bite the democrat it is they don't get the voting rights act past before midterms? >> it's critical. when you talk to democrats in the states and activists, not only republicans trying to get at changing the democracy and the way that voting happens, it impacts whether or not democrats can win elections. if you have a state and a country where now republicans are saying we won't give you a win if you're a democrat, that
11:16 am
tells you the democrats have a real issue winning elections, because republicans will simply undo that. >> thank you. great to see you. still ahead, a look at how border agents are responding to a record surge at the border and increasingly dangerous time. >> it's very unfortunate. almost two to three times a week, we're finding individuals that have succumbed to the elements. and first they game for the gas, then the burgers. now russian hackers are targeting vineyard vacations. and could a new florida law -- - riders, the lone wolves of the great highway. all they need is a bike and a full tank of gas. their only friend? the open road. i have friends. [ chuckles ] well, he may have friends, but he rides alone. that's jeremy, right there! we're literally riding together. he gets touchy when you talk about his lack of friends. can you help me out here?

11:20 am
fully vaccinated people are safely shredding their masks and greeting one another with a smile. grandparents are hugging their grand kids again. small business owners are reopening store fronts and restaurants because of the vaccination strategy. >> joe biden took a victory lap today as vaccination rates rise and new covid cases continue to plummet across this country. more than 135 million americans are now fully vaccinated, and as more people get the shots, this country gets closer and closer to returning to a semblance of normally. but malaysia is locking down after seeing its worst outbreak. thailand reporting a record high of new cases on monday.
11:21 am
and a number of south american countries, including paraguay and argentina are seeing strains on their medical system. dr. hotez, thank you for joining us. i want you to comment on the numbers that the president just threw out there, 63% of americans have one shot in arm as of this moment, and wanting to get to that 70% by the end of july. do you think we can do it? >> i think we can in some parts of the country and the president and the white house has done an extraordinary job of advancing vaccinations for the american people. but not to throw cold water on it, but remember, that 70% of adults bar is too low. i think we need to get to 75% to 80% of the entire u.s. population in order to hold transmission, especially with the variants. that means 100% of adults. that's where we have to head.
11:22 am
we have to think of that july fourth as an interim goal. not the long-range goal, number one. and number two, we're seeing a lot of heteronagaity across the country. in the south, we're at one half the vaccination rates in louisiana, mississippi, alabama, as massachusetts and vermont. so i don't know, and it's -- and there's -- it's clearly going along partisan lines. so that's where the battleground is going to have to be in terms of figuring out a way to reach out to conservative groups and get them vaccinated, because otherwise we're going to continue to see a fair bit of transmission. remember, last year at this time, we were also at our lowest point of the epidemic. then we saw that surge across the south in july and august. we're vulnerable to that surge again in the summer. so we have to be careful about too many victory laps.
11:23 am
good news but a ways to go. >> i want to look overseas. we are seeing a decline in cases in this country and doing well with vaccination for the most part and avoid an outbreak of variants. but in vietnam, india, how concerned are you about these variant outbreaks in some of these countries and the lack of vaccinations that's happening in these places? >> yeah, this is exactly what keeps me up at night, and particularly right now in south america, is doing the worst globally. i mean, if you look at countries like uruguay or argentina or peru or colombia, this is a disaster. this is a humanitarian tragedy going on. and people are piling into hospitals and massive losses of life. and i think we need as a country, the u.s. needs to do -- take some ownership here and help our neighbors to the south and help south america. it's on fire right now. and i'm particularly worried about that part of the world.
11:24 am
>> doctor, thank you as always. great to see you. they now have the cdc's go ahead to hit the high seas for the first time in a year. many cruiselines want to require everybody on board to be vaccinated. but that could be illegal in the state of florida, where most cruise ships dock. florida's governor signed a bill that bans businesses from asking customers whether they have been vaccinated and prohibits discrimination against those who are not. joining me now is shaquille brewster. shaq, great to see you. where does this leave the cruise industry, which has been hit hard over the last year? >> reporter: you had one expert liken it to a game of chicken. they want to guarantee that their passengers are vaccinated. but in the state of florida, if they ask those potential passengers their vaccination status, they could face a $5,000 fine per passenger, which would make a cruise not profitable. that's the issue that they're
11:25 am
facing right now, where you have the cdc requiring 95% of passengers to be vaccinated. passengers, when you look at polls, 80% of potential passengers would want to get on a ship with other people vaccinated and where that vaccine is required. and then the cruise operators are trying to increase the perception that people have of cruises. they know how the high stakes they're dealing with. i put this to a travel expert and asked him about the stakes and the urgency in solving the problem. listen to how he put this. >> urgency is huge. it's millions of dollars a day. you do have passengers, travelers that want to get back. and here we are 15 months later in the united states, and still nothing. they have to be absolutely certain, to the best of their
11:26 am
ability that nobody is going to get sick during these cruises, and what is the best way that you can do that? the best way is to require vaccinations. at least to start with. >> reporter: now, i did reach out to the governor's office. his office in the state is suing the cdc for some of the regulations that have been put on in the past. they also gave us a statement, putting it on the cdc, but the key thing here is they're say thing is not -- they say frame thing as the desantis versus cruise lines is inaccurate. >> reporter: but the key part here, in compliance with florida law. that law saying any business does not have the ability to ask or to question a passenger or a customer about the vaccination status. we also heard from the governor earlier today. he said that about $200 million
11:27 am
federal covid relief fund also be allocated to these cruise companies. but there's a lot of frustration in that industry with some of the regulations that the state of florida has put on now. >> certainly puts these cruise lines in a difficult position. shaq brewster, thank you. coming up, everybody, an inside look at how border patrol agents are responding to a crisis that's growing deadlier every day. >> you're talking about thousands of acres, thick vegetation, the sun. they're about to walk for their life. >> but first, the u.s. is hit by yet another cyber attack. we'll be right back. because we're the engineers who built the most reliable network in america. thousands of smarter towers, with the 5g coverage you need. broader spectrum for faster 5g speeds. next-generation servers with superior network reliability. because the more you do with 5g, the more your network matters. it's us...pushing us. it's verizon...vs verizon.

11:29 am
11:31 am
there has been another cyber attack, this time targeting the steam ship authority of massachusetts. just yesterday, a ransom ware attack forced jbs usa to shut down operations in parts of the u.s., australia and canada, as well. and before that attack, prices for meat and poultry were on the rise as a result of this pandemic. joining me now, jake ward, who is in california. and former fbi special agent clint watts. thanks for joining us. jake, i want to start with you and the attack on jbs. what has been the impact so far here in the united states, especially on farmers? >> reporter: well, you come to a place like this, an hour south of sacramento. you think this can't be touched by a ransomware attack.
11:32 am
the amazing thing is you can touchdown anywhere in the united states and ransomware can undo that industry. i'm standing on a 115,000 acre ranch with 700 head of cattle. i asked the rancher how is it in a country where you could just go to the neighborhood butcher shop that today you could have a single company hit and it would affect your livelihood thousands of miles away. here's what he said. have a listen. >> beef processing and livestock processing is a very concentrated business. there's four companies that control 80% of the market. 50 years ago, there used to be a butcher shop on every corner. now you're hard pressed to find one anywhere in a town. we have a very fragile system. and these kind of events bring that to the forefront and show people how critical it is to have a safe food supply. >> reporter: we're looking here
11:33 am
at a confluence of factors. you have the consolidation in these industries, which makes single players like jbs an enormous target for ransomware, and you have the affordability of ransomware to criminal gangs. they can find somebody they know to be wealthy, doesn't have a big i.t. infrastructure, and hit them very hard. in the end, the reverberations go on and on, even here to a ranch deep in rural california. >> clint, you have jbs now, colonial a couple weeks ago, the massachusetts steam ship authority. we're learning of an attack on the mta with suspected links to the chinese government. what is happening here? with these hacking groups? are they finding a loophole, a vulnerability? is the guard down because of the pandemic over the last 15 months? what is it? >> i think it's everybody coming to play in a way that we anticipated.
11:34 am
if you look back even ten years ago, we anticipated that our infrastructure was vulnerable and started to take signer security improvements. but the problem is, the u.s. is such a large surface area. we have so many different systems, particularly in sectors that are not used to doing cybersecurity. a decade ago, we started beefing up banks. what you're seeing now is the soft underbelly, which is old infrastructure. transportation, oil, hospitals have been hit particularly hard last year during the pandemic. what you're seeing is all global actors around the world, nation, state or criminal, can attack any u.s. target with this ransomware payload. it is something that will be very difficult for us to catch up with. it will take a lot of international negotiations, because most of these criminal actor groups are not located in the united states. it's coming from outside the
11:35 am
boarders and crippling us as a country every week. >> the mta attack, which seems like it has origins in china, the other attacks in russia. you got a statement from the white house saying they are engaging with the russian government on this matter, and delivering the message that responsible states do not harbor ransomware. what needs to be done here to stop it, clint, is that enough? >> the statements won't work. i think the key thing to think about here, we used to worry about terrorists operating from safe halvens in other states. we now have that in cyber risks in terms of hackers. some countries, nigeria for example, they really have no ability to police it, but russia does. russia knows they have these criminal groups here. there is connected tissue between russian intelligence and the russian government. they will not permit large-scale attacks on russian targets but outside of russia they will.
11:36 am
two weeks from now, we have the putin/biden summit. i'm sure that will be a top thing there. russia is allowing these criminal underbellies to attack the united states, extort our industries, and actually tie up our country at a time when we're struggling, coming out of the pandemic economically. that is not going to be tolerable any more. and we're going have to look at lots of different options. sanctions are not working, but do we get rid of the entire system in terms of allowing people to use it? because that's where these criminals are operating. >> those two are going to have a lot to talk about, a lot on their plates in that meeting. jake, clint, thank you. appreciate it. so the already dangerous journey to the u.s. for migrants is growing more perilous. border crossings remain at an all-time high. and border patrol agents are now concerned about an increase in migrant deaths. joining me now, julie ainsley.
11:37 am
you spent time with border patrol agents recently. what did you see firsthand? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. so i just returned from south texas where we spent a number of days side by side with border agents as they encountered immigrants crossing the border, many families turning themselves in. one morning, we saw over 100 mooirgs being apprehended. many hoping to say in the united states, and some unfamiliar with the current policy, which is to expel all migrants except unaccompanied children. agents are very worried as the temperatures go up that the number of crossings remains at a 20-year high. we are in texas with u.s. border patrol agents getting a rare look at what can be a deadly journey. for the record number of migrants trying to cross the border. >> it's very unfortunate, but
11:38 am
almost two to three times a week we're finding individuals that have succumbed to the elements. >> reporter: this pregnant woman needing urgent medical attention. nearby, a group of 08 migrants, including many children, many themselves in after making the dangerous trek across the rio grand. so they have taken their lives in their hands? >> yes. that's why we let people know there is an inherent risk coming to the u.s. illegally. >> reporter: this border wall is one obstacle of many on the journey north of america. and as temperatures rise and the number of migrants is not going down, officials worry they will soon see more and more deaths. deaths among migrants here are now up 58%. >> you're talking about thousands of takers, thick vegetation, the sun. they're about to walk the walk of their life.
11:39 am
>> reporter: oscar juarez told us he knew what he risks coming here. >> translator: you have to endanger the baby and even risk border if back of a car. you run the risk of you or your son falling. >> reporter: he says he lost his job in honduras because of the pandemic and his home destroyed by hurricanes. so he paid smugglers upwards of $5,000, traveling for 20 days. >> we had no other choice. we were left with nothing. >> reporter: the biden administration allows some families and unaccompanied children to say in the u.s. so tonight, they are on their way to reunite with relatives. >> translator: i still can't believe i'm here. for me, it's a dream come true. >> reporter: after a journey that's growing more dangerous by the day. >> so you can see, some of these families might be the lucky ones. some are turned back. and some don't make it. when we went out with the people from missing migrant protections, they said sometimes they do see children succumb to the elements. so it was a grim reality, but
11:40 am
one really brought home for us. >> the uncertainty just shows the desperation that they're trying to flee. thank you for that. still ahead, dramatic new body cam footage of the moment deputies arrived on the scene of a shooting at a california rail yard last week. and more video out of florida, where police are investigating whether there were multiple gunman firing from multiple cars. we'll be right back. e cars we'll be right back. are waking up to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ ♪ my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® works differently than any other diabetes pill to lower blood sugar in all 3 of these ways... increases insulin... decreases sugar... and slows food. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7. people taking rybelsus® lost up to 8 pounds. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes

don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking, you may bruise more easily... or take longer for bleeding to stop. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, or unusual bruising. it may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor about eliquis. welcome back, everybody. we're following breaking news out of the state of florida, where the manhunt is intensifying for the gunmen behind a weekend mass shooting. and there's new video of the attack. we warn you, it may be difficult to watch. bystanders were waiting outside a rap concert in hialeah as the shooters approached. seconds later, shots ring out and the crowd scrambles to take cover. two people were killed and more
11:44 am
than 20 injured. and there's more. new video that appears to show gunfire coming from a second car at the other end of the parking lot. police confirming they are investigating the possibility of multiple shooters there. the first piece of video released showed a trio of gunman on the other side of banquet hall emerging from an suv, that suv was found submerged in a miami canal. and police have released body cam footage showing deputies arriving on the scene of a mass shooting at a northern california rail yard last week. a warning, this too may be hard to watch. shots still were being fired as deputies moved in. and the video includes the tense moments that deputies appear to find the gunman who had shot himself. joining me now from california is steve patterson, who is covering this for us. great to see you. what more are we learning here from authorities about the shooting?
11:45 am
>> reporter: you know, alongside the release of that video, they held a press conference, the sheriff's department, asking reporters that were in attendance if there were any questions about the video. a lot of questions that were directed about anything that could be shed on a motive, any red flags that authorities may have noticed, all of those questions were diverted. this was a visual update, and what a striking visual this was. this was about an incredibly harrowing 4 1/2 minutes, the body cam, the perspective from a five-man contact team, deputies, and police officers, you can hear them climbing the steps. you can hear the gunshots going off as they're making entry. they make contact with survivors. they gain access to the facility and made clear room to room, guns drawn looking for the suspect. and keep in mind, they have no
11:46 am
idea who the suspect is, they don't know if there are multiple suspects. and finally, the motive -- the moment, excuse me, where they make contact with the suspect, you can see him slumped over in his chair. it's blurred out. but if you have any objections, now is the time to turn away. this is about 25 seconds of them making contact after the suspect already appeared to have taken his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot found. take a look at this. >> i have somebody down in front of me. >> let me see your hands! >> watch his hands, be careful. watch his hands. >> stairwell, stairwell. >> top flight, clear. >> again, we know the sheriff's department still has a tight
11:47 am
lock on that scene. they continue their investigation, but no motive from authorities yet at this point. >> quite a harrowing discovery. up next, everybody, naomi osaka's revelations aboutmental health could serve as a wakeup call to the tennis world. that conversation is next. o thed that conversation is next. at it's best taking metamucil everyday can help. metamucil psyllium fiber, gels to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down. it also helps lower cholesterol and slows sugar absorption to promote healthy blood sugar levels. so you can feel lighter and more energetic metamucil. support your daily digestive health. and try metamucil fiber thins. a great tasting and easy way to start your day. ♪ you've got the looks ♪ ♪ let's make lots of money ♪ ♪ you've got the brawn ♪ ♪ i've got the brains... ♪ with allstate, drivers who switched saved over $700

11:53 am
osaka, after her personal comments about mental health. she withdrew from the tournament afd and threatened for further punishment for missing mandatory press conferences. grand slam singles champion revealed she has suffered bouts of depression and anxiety since her win in the 2018 u.s. open win over serena williams. serena williams shared her fiercely honest take on this situation. >> for me personally, how i deal with it was i know every single person asks me a question can't play as well as i can and never will. so no matter what you say or what you write, newly never light a candle to me. that's how i deal with it. but each person deals with it differently. >> nothing truer has ever been said. it's so true. now we all know what she's thinking. it's like when you imagine someone naked in the crowd if you're afraid of public speebing. jamel hill, writer for the
11:54 am
atlantic and podcast of jamel hill. in it you write that naomi osaka is a larger war within sports between the associations who make the rules and what power athletes have to set boundaries. you write tenny as a whole, honestly, has lost because of this incident. can you talk more about that? >> yeah. i mean, it's a basic question. if you are the french open, one of the four majors, would you rather have the second ranked tennis player in the tournament, the highest paid female athlete of the moment, highest paid female athlete last year, would you rather have her in the tournament or out? you would rather have her in. there's a part of disbelief i carry because i can't believe it got to this point. you have an athlete who reveals very personal struggles about what these press conferences and environments, how much it triggers her anxiety and all the other things she has been coping
11:55 am
and dealing with. and the response is not to find out ways in which you can support this athlete who, by the way, is one of your biggest stars. the response, instead, is to put out a heavy-handed, tone-deaf statement that not only fines her for not showing up for her mandatory press conference, but also in collaboration with the other heads of the tennis majors, they all decide to gang up on naomi osaka and make it clear to her that she will, perhaps, face expul sichlt on from these tournaments if she doesn't do what they say. i think probably the tennis organizations may have thought that naomi osaka was just kidding. maybe they thought she was bluffing. and she showed them she wasn't. now they look stupid. it's just that simple because she has shown them that she does not have to do things the way they traditionally have done them just because this is the
11:56 am
way that it's always been done. she chose her peace over their entertainment. and now people watching the french open will not see one of the brightest if not the brightest star in tennis. >> you think about the treatment of black female sports stars, right? venus williams, serena williams over time, especially in the tennis world, and now naomi osaka. this is a test of time. what actually needs to change here, especially considering that she has been so incredibly honest and vulnerable about the struggles that she faces? >> well, listen, i'm speaking from the standpoint of somebody who has been a career sports journalist for 20 years now. i've been in a lot of these press conferences. they're not comfortable for the media either. a lot of us would prefer to ask athletes these questions prastly, but we don't get that opportunity. in tennis, in particular, these athletes are only available at tournaments, for the most part. people can work out side relationships and maybe you catch them in different spaces
11:57 am
and what have you. for the most part, this is the environment. i think it's entirely okay if an athlete comes to the tennis organization, comes to the governing body and says, listen, i don't really like dozens of reporters petalering me with questions. this doesn't make me comfortable. i don't know, maybe something that the white house uses all the time. it's called a pool reporter. not a strange concept. it would seem that there would be be a very workable solution so that allows everybody to do their jobs, working journalists to continue to report on these wonderful athletes, allows athletes to feel comfortable in these spaces. there's a different level of maybe awareness that has to be there with how female tennis players, especially those of color, are treated. naomi osaka found it firsthand how venus and serena williams have been treated throughout their careers with racist and sexist tropes and depictions they have to deal with. >> really good conversation. taking a page out of the government for a first time.
