we sent alex taylor to check it out and we catch up with him early in the morning after his first bumpying back to bed now. after a stormy and pretty sleepless night at the sea, it's time for breakfast with my shipmates in the mess. it's called happy hour, where everyone works hard, washes and makes everything spick—and—span, except i've lost my team and what i'm meant to be doing. many years ago, we had a young lad come on lord nelson and he had multiple sclerosis and he didn't get out of the car, he was helped out the car by his mother and father, popped in the wheelchair and we pulled him up the gangway. after two weeks on here, he walked off the ship without the sticks, didn't want his chair, and his mother and father couldn't believe it. and that's why we run it. that's why we do what we do. 0n the final day, the beautiful weather gave me the chance to do something that i've been looking forward to but also secretly dreading. climbing the ship's mast. luckily, i'm not going first, though. it's kind of amazing. in fact, it is mad. oh, god. for some of the folk who don't quite get wh

taylor: fascinating. thank you to both. lolli's alex ohanian, so great to have both of you on a day like today. you will have to come back. coming back, it's a city built on blockchain. it is one ceo's vision. it will have a new type of government entity and ultimately, quote, democratize democracy. our citylab segment is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ bloomberg. ♪ taylor: imagine a city not built by bonds, but by blockchain's. the blockchain ceo envisions it rising from the high desert in nevada. let's get more insight into what this 67,000 acre utopia it would look like and what that means. let's do it with laura bliss and our latest citylab segment. how does this work? laura: thank you so much for having me. this is a parcel of land in the northwest corner of nevada just outside of reno. the ceo of a company called blockchain, jeffrey burns, someone who is all about cryptocurrency, the decentralized network-based technology listeners have been hearing about, including bitcoin. he envisions building a city that uses bitcoin and cryptocurr

. >> reporter: alex, we're starting to see congresswoman marjorie taylor greene distance herself from documents obtained by punchbowl news that outlined what the america first caucus would look like. it mentioned, quote, a common respect for uniquely anglo-saxon political traditions, and a warning that mass immigration poses a threat to the long term existential future. this comes as marjorie taylor greene's office had previously confirmed to nbc news that this america first caucus was coming but then issued a new statement after further backlash from republican leaders. the new statement says this was an early planning proposal and nothing was agreed to or approved. this doesn't mean that anything was skrabd. scrapped. that of me statement from her spokesperson said be on the lookout for the release of the american first caucus platform when it's announced to the public very soon. as i said, these statements come amid growing backlash including from republican leaders. it is swift and bipartisan. we heard from congressman ruben gallego, take a listen to what he shared on msnbc. >> th

>> alex, you have a leadership that is scared to really take on the white nationalists within their party. marjorie taylorre empowered than ever. matt gaetz thinks his path to political survival is backing white nationalism and clinging to this america first agenda that i really don't see how the language is not that different from david duke campaign literature when he was a kkk klansman. it is absolutely terrible. you compare then when you had george h.w. bush strongly denouncing david duke and everyone in the republican party and the leadership, it just is so pitiful that we're watching the leadership essentially cow down to these elements within the party that are -- that its ultimate destruction at the end of the day as the country's demographics do change and republicans make it difficult to win any elections that they have not been able to pass voter suppression laws at the republican -- in the republican-held legislatures at the state level. >> zerlina, as you look at the prospective name of this new caucus, right? america first. that sounds like donald trump language. >> oh, it is donald trump la

alex. think about what we saw in breonna taylor taes case. thousands of cases to a grand jury. i've never seen a grand juror to hire a lawyer to get permission to say that the prosecuting authority misrepresented what happened in secret in the grand jury room. we've seen that several times. we all saw this in rice's case. this whole debate about whether or not she could have confused a gun with a taser, the prosecuting authority believes her or they would have had to charge her with murder. the fact they charged her with manslaughter means they believe what she said and that is the information they'll present to the grand jury, which means there's a high likelihood the grand jury will reject the charge and it's over. >> i had to let that settle in. let's talk about the derek chauvin trial and listen to what representative karen bass had to say about it this morning. >> the verdict is step one, but what we've seen in too many of these cases, in the rare time there is a guilty verdict, we've seen them get off with a minimum sentence. we don't k

marjorie taylor greene is walking back claims that she's launching this caucus, amid backlash of members of her own party who did not support what the proposal said. >> we appreciate it. thank you. alexns, national political correspondent for the "new york times," and cnn political analyst. thank you for being here. >> good morning. >> let's take that jumping off point. good morning to you. based on what we were hearing there, two very different viewpoints in 24 hours from marjorie taylor greene's office. on friday saying you can expect this america first platform announcement public very soon, and then by saturday, you know, the punch bowl reporting that the congresswoman wants to make it clear she is not launching anything. that's directly from her office. where does this effort with her stand now? is it just gone? >> it sure sounds like it's not going very far in the immediate term, but christi, i think the striking thing about this whole episode is the fact that these ideas, this language, the notion of launching such a group was even discussed, and even in the statement that we just heard from daniela, walking back the idea of launching this caucus, there was at least an acknowl
