mr. wray, christopher wray likened this domestic terrorist threat to isis. i wonder if from your experience, they're more like al qaeda because in the case of al qaeda, they are embedded in and have the support of the government. that was part of the reason we wound up in afghanistan. they're being shielded by the government in afghanistan. in this case, even some of the people in the hearings want to defend fundamentally the people who committed the attack on our country because they view them as part of their base. they need their votes. and so they don't want to harm them. they don't want to end their power. i don't know how you can investigate something that one of our two major political parties sees as part of their base. >> i agree, joy. and one of the most disturbing things that christopher wray said today was the tremendous surge in the number of investigations, over 2,000. tremendous surge since he came into office in 2017. i think it just shows how pervasive this problem is. and as he pointed out, these racially and ethnically motivated hate group

mr floyd he had been coherent. in the third day of the trial, in which the former officer stands accused of second degree murder, christopher he'd quickly recognised that the 20 dollar bill mr floyd had handed him to buy cigarettes was fake. at the urging of his manager, mr martin twice went outside to mr floyd's car to ask him to come back and talk with his manager. mr floyd had refused. but what happened next said mr martin could easily have been avoided. i saw people yelling and screaming, i saw derek with his knee on george's neck. we saw you standing there with your hands on your head for a while, correct? correct. what was going through your mind during that time period? disbelief. and guilt. why guilt? if i would've just not taken the bill, this could've been avoided. the court has been hearing evidence from charles mcmillan, one of those who witnessed the whole interaction between mr floyd and the police. "i was trying to tell him just to comply," said mr mcmillan. "you can't win when once you are in the cuffs." at that point the prosecution showed the jury bodycam footage from one of the officers. it was harrowing.

the testimony from christopher martin today had three purposes one, as you indicate, is to let the jury know what got the police called out to his store all of this over a $20 bill that mr. martin said george floyd probably didn't even know was counterfeit. and so when you see those officers approach mr. floyd's car like he's public enemy number one, and within seconds take out their gun, pointing it at him, that force looks excessive is what the prosecutors want the jury to think. the prosecutors also want to humanize george floyd and his community, so as gabe indicated, in the video, we see george laughing and joking while he's waiting for his phone to be fixed. >> a really, really brutal morning. gabe gutierrez, paul butler, thank you very much. paul, you're sticking around don't go too far >>> pfizer is out with incredible news for parents and children the drug company released the first findings from the child vaccine study and found that it's both safe -- and here is the big headline here -- 100% effective of preventing covid-19 in kids ages 12 to 15. these have not yet been peer reviewed, so stay tuned for that it is approved for kids under the age of 16 in the c
