that is either| bluster or brawling, there was no one like muhammad ali.that wouldn't hide from him was joe frazier. they fought three times but it was never quite like this. the eyes of the world were on new york's madison square garden. the likes of frank sinatra, diana ross and even brian clough had managed to make it to the big apple. smoking joe, the champion but on the ground in many eyes. ali who had given up his belt and freedom rather than participate in the vietnam war entered as a former champion yet to taste defeat. there was bitterness before and after the first bout. frazier refused to call ali by his name. the greatest described his foe as an uncle tom. rumour has it, that phrase yet never forgive him as an uncle tom. rumour has it, that phrase yet neverforgive him —— as an uncle tom. rumour has it, that phrase yet never forgive him —— for gave him. he phrase yet never forgive him -- for ave him. gave him. he might say something bad because ou gave him. he might say something bad because you said _ gave him. he might say something bad becaus

ali: yes.talking to other partners right now and that is the reason we spun off so we can expand our reach, but uber does 30% of the markets, so that could be announced. emily: uber is a big investor now in serve. are you talking to doordash and grubhub? ali: i can't really disclose that. emily: talk to me about what needs to happen and with whom when it comes to eve all they the livery process -- the delivery process. ali: delivery has always been multi modal, and we are focusing on the sidewalk equation. before robots, this was 10% of the space. we want to expand to to 50% which is the number of deliveries that are within walking distance. that is more than 50 million deliveries a day. that is our focus. there'll be other folks whether it is self driving cars, drones, the multimodality will continue, and you have things moving in trucks and things moving on scooters. going to be one of the key ingredients of this equation. emily: how has the city of l.a. responded, how have they been to work

muhammad ali >> oh, muhammad ali is my hero that's my hero >> jimmy: i remember you -- you did ali, didn't but there's not another person who inspired me more in life than muhammad ali i think he's the greatest african-american that ever lived and ever walked the earth. like, no one had the impact like muhammad ali. >> jimmy: and you got hang out with him >> oh, i didn't get to hang out with him i met him a couple of times. i met him a few times. and he gave me a really cool thing, he gave me for my 40th birthday, he gave me a plaque with a glove on it. it was like, from your brother muhammad ali my most treasured thing is this cool plaque from muhammad ali. >> jimmy: do you remember that ed bradley interview he did on "60 minutes," him and ed bradley it was later >> oh, after, yeah, when he pretended he was sleeping? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah >> and he was having fits. >> jimmy: he's like punching [ laughter ] >> that's one of the things that was beautiful about ali he always had -- he was always ali, even when his health started to fail. that spirit was still there. he was always ali.

but ali, what would it take? how many months of that would it take to get back to where we were in 2019? it would take us nearly two years of job reports like the one we had today to get back to where we were in 2019. americans don't want to wait for two years for life to get back to some semblance of normal. and that's why this bill, which is economic relief and health care relief, is so critical. >> yeah, the idea that it may be a few months before we can take our masks off does not mean it's a few months before business is back to normal and people have their jobs back. senator, i want to talk about another topic, and that was the air strikes in iraq. let's just listen to what jen psaki, the white house press secretary, had to say about this today. >> the president has been, obviously, a close ally and partner with senator kaine on a number of initiatives in the past. he agrees that the aumf is 20 years -- has been around for 20 years, and it's long overdue for it to be updated. >> she's talking about the auth

let it go... ♪ and now here are ryan seacrest and ali wentworth.h. i could not help myself. last night, i was laying down, i was in the bed with georgia, and i could not help but start thinking about your routine, because you gave me so much detail yesterday about your evening routine... - yes, i did. that i felt like-- i shouldn't be thinking about ali and george right now while i'm--

good morning. >> great to be here with you, ali. >> thank you very much. idea of asylum and refugees. this is something that we're missing here. the united states, since the '60s and again in the '80s is party to international agreements about how you deal with refugees. that's separate and apart from immigration, and it's separate and apart from border security. that's something people have difficulty with. you don't because you experienced that. >> yeah, i mean, i try to explain, you know, to my colleagues that this happens at every border when a neighboring country has a crisis. people tend to seek refuge in the country that is not having the crisis. and so our neighbors are having a crisis. and there are children who are coming to our borders seeking a better life. i was one of those kids when my country fell into civil war in somalia. i fled to neighboring country kenya. and i was met with humanity and dignity because people had understanding and respect for international law. most of the kids that are coming are young children who not only endured ho

hold on, ali, hold on.resident joe biden is speaking right now with his most senior economic advisers about the jobs numbers. let's listen. >> at that rate is would take two years to get us back on track. we have 1 million fewer educators than we did this time last year. we've lost 400,000 small businesses. all of those empty store fronts aren't just shattered dreams, they're warning lights that are going off at state and local budgets being stretched because of the lack of tax revenue. and some of last month's job growth is a result of the december package, but without a rescue plan these gains are going to slow. we can't afford one step forward and two steps backwards. we need to beat the virus, provide essential relief and build an inclusive recovery. people need the help now. in less than two weeks, enhanced unemployment benefits will begin to expire for 11 million people. at least 7 million kids don't have enough food to eat on a regular basis. 13 million people are behind in their rent. and the rescue

well you know as you know ali. was a superior talent but he discovered what he does very early on and what he does is stand for his principles you can't take anything away from him that he he never buckled under he never gave into the system he had to what i think you and i will agree with the prime years of his career taken way and he still was able to be a champion is that because he was the best fighter i don't know i think it was because he understood what it is that he does and how he translate that to translate that to what he does to to me that's a champion spirit and. champion spirits. i think he let me put champion in bass bass terms are folks i think he realized if he had fought through those years and gone against his basic grain he was penny wise and pound foolish the reason mohammed ali will live forever and even amongst the goats you see the goats when they talk about who the goat is jordan's cats like that they talk about allie what is the separating point imagine that folks you are literally the kin

anybody doing that and yet he went ahead and did it that's why he lives forever the great mohammed ali . well stuart talk about being a motivational speaker in los angeles when i 1st came to l.a. i found a i always thought it was a dangerous confluence in a way i always took things seriously and hell i was never a capricious lad when i got there because i said i am at the venn diagram between need to succeed need to be famous need to be wealthy need to explore my craft and moses is a gate where not everybody can get in it always seemed really dangerous to me where i said listen the only thing i can govern today is my caloric expenditure i'm going to put some bt use hustle my hair in between gigs because i'm not even in that door there so when you go out and get motivational speeches i guess in a way let's put it in let's do the of duck to observe it's lighting a fire under speed right yet and it's it's getting some clarity about things that seem obvious but we've forgotten because we experienced them long ago and cetera there are some really fundamental truths in life that tend to get

and for more on this let's bring in journalist ali latif he who is in kabul ali thanks for joining us what more can you tell us about what happened in herat. so the explosion happened late in the evening last night and it was a car packed to the brim with explosives according to local residents they said that they were out into hole 12 in the morning trying to deal with the rubble trying to free people trying to take people to the hospital and if you look at the death toll the vast majority of those so the people that were killed were civilians and a great number of the injured where also civilians so this is another instance of how much insecurity in the country including in a city and a province like a dog is affecting civilians i visit here are 3 times in the last 5 months and every single time people have been talking about just how bad security has become not only in the parlor not only in the province but in the city people were saying that districts that used to be safe only a year or 2 ago districts very close to the city of here are the 3040 minutes outside of the main city a

muslims another historic 1st for the leader of the catholic church as he met erupts grand ayatollah ali al sistani the reclusive leader who is rarely seen in public he's iraq's most revered cleric and his proclamations have influenced many since the 2003 years of beijing the plight of those being persecuted in the region including palestinians and syrians that discussed. short the pool of equal rights for christians in iraq and peaceful coexistence the meeting between the pope and grand ayatollah ali al sistani is symbolic and significant although the majority or the religious authority says it plays no role in politics audiences tony has played a pivotal part in iraq recently whether it was urging people to take part in politics in elections whether it was to tell them to pick up arms against isis and more recently in the favor of the protesters. clerics in niger say the pope's visit has highlighted iraq's central place for all religions and is a brave gesture from for france's in the face of security challenges and the pandemic rejali dean home. clerics through their words and behavio

thank you, ali, in terms of the history.tabling, let's just say in my lifetime, since the 1980s. the i wrote my bachelor thesis on salvadoran refugees in long island in 1984. this is not new. the biden administration should be thinking about changing the narrative, how they respond, and also taking a little bit of responsibility, that would help as well. because joe biden has been around for a long time. he knows the complexities of regional politics. >> yeah, that's not a strong suit, american foreign policy in central america and taking a lot of responsibility for that. but let's hope, let's hope we take a moment to know our history and understand the role we have to play and the fact these remain deeply impoverished and as you said, corrupt countries that make it very hard for people to make a living safely and fairly. maria, good to see you. i hope the president -- >> it's not about making a living, it's about surviving death. this is not like, i want to get a better job. this is i'm about to die. i've got to find somepl

that's right, ali. this is why we have a constitution.idual's choice as to who will be able to vote or whose votes value the most. this is why these are called rights, and you have the right to vote. whether or not you are informed or not. of course that's not a determination that this gentleman can make. these are the same justifications that we heard in the era of jim crowe. you are seeing the greatest sweeping effort to restrict the right to vote since the era of the jim crowe days. this is an inflection point. if we don't do something, we may very well lose our democracy. i was on the house floor on january 6th when those insurrectionists tried to, you know, get there and stop the democratic process. comments like this are just as dangerous to our democracy as the folks who broke into the house and who tried to assassinate the vice president and the speaker of the house. it is that damaging to talk about who should and should not be able to participate in our democracy. >> but it is this weird equivalency between trying to create acce

you know, the issue here is this, ali.s, can move in a frus straitsingly slow fashion. they can linger on appeals for a long time. that doesn't mean they're not valuable. it just means when we have a system that's properly functioning protects the rights of criminal defendants. in civil cases, information tends to leak out at an earlier stage. you have dispositive motions that can be filed or arguments in court where truth comes to light. ultimately in the situation like the one trump face where there are ten pending civil lawsuits, it may well be the kum la active effect of the lawsuits if he loses that could have a very bad impact on his finances, something we know he's incredibly sensitive about. some of these cases, ali, also go to his personal finances, corporate finances, where he infamously told bob mueller in the course of the giggs, my personal finances are a red line you can't cross. the civil cases may help us better understand why that was such an important red line for the former president. >> and we sometimes

with nbc political correspondent ali vitali. also with us, eugene daniels, white house correspondent for politico and coauthor of "politico playbook." good to see the two of you this evening. eugene, let me start with you. what shape is the bill in right now? >> now it's passed the senate this will be headed to the house. waiting on saturday because joe manchin was kind of -- was playing kingmaker here a little bit. he was talking to both senate republicans and democrats on exactly what was going to be in the bill. it's passed, it will head to the house. something that i think is really interesting and going to be interesting to watch is that there's a lot of frustration within the house with how this worked out in the senate, that it was democrats that almost -- that felt like it might taint the bill at some point. a lot of that anger pointed at joe manchin himself. that frustration is going to continue, and it's going to test chuck schumer and president biden's ability to keep this democratic caucus together and how that happe

now it is time for "the last word" with ali velshi tonight. good evening. >> it's a totally plausible thing to say. i wouldn't have given it another thought. your conversation with osha really interesting. somebody told me at one point, if osha systematically went through every business in the united states with an inspection, if it were sort of routine, you'd get an inspection about once every 100 years. that's how badly funded it is. and there is, you know, there are real efforts particularly in the time of covid and immediately post-covid to wrap that up and it is being met with a great deal of resistance from america's corporations. because they don't like regulation. but if it ever matters, in the 50-year history of osha, it matters now that somebody is there to keep those rules safe. thank you for drawing attention to that, rachel. >> thank you, ali. they very, very rarely do one of these temporary emergency rules. the last one they did was asbestos decades ago. if they do one on covid, it will be a huge deal. thanks, my friend. apprecia

but you're right, ali, this is moving the goalposts. this is a political party that knows that it can no longer win based on its policies, and so what they're trying to do is make it easier for them to do what the president wanted them to do, the former president, in the 2020 election, to find just enough votes that they can win even when they loose. >> georgia should look north to virginia and realize that it is not a good long-term strategy but it is anti-democratic and it is problematic. joyce, thanks for joining us. again, joyce vance, former u.s. attorney in ballistic missile bnl and msnbc contributor. >>> joining me congresswoman angie craig of minnesota, co-chair of the lgbtq equality caucus, member of the energy in congress and small business committee. congressman craig participated in the committee meeting we showed you a little bit of. i think it will be a good place to start. by the way, it is nice to be in your state here in minnesota. let's talk a little about the disinformation hearing. social media has become the place w

i'm ali velshi. more than 105.7 million doses of covid-19 vaccine have now been administered in the united states. way ahead of schedule for the biden administration's stated goal. the cdc says 4.5 million doses were administered on friday alone. this is a major accomplishment for the country, especially considering the former administration's botched rollout at the end of last year, which resulted in the country underperforming on its initial vaccine goals. on this show, three months ago today, we witnessed history as the first batches of the pfizer/biontech began their journey across the country. >> this is live now at the pfizer plant in michigan. the first fda-authorized covid-19 vaccine is right now being loaded up. it will soon be at hospitals across the country. the trucks are moving out now. it is 7:09 -- 8:09 in the east. 7:09 houston time. it appears the first truck, a fedex truck, has left or leaving as we speak. it pulled out of the picture. the pfizer facility in michigan. that's the fir

and life science his departure comes as the company's annual use of basis of past is that of rival ali baba. work culture has also been criticised following the death of 2 employees. and that's what i'd like to talk about now with cliff a coup now and. very old china expert who joins me in the studio not everybody is familiar with the in china very popular. compass. what do we need to know about it well it's a giant e-commerce company in some ways very similar to what differentiates it is that it takes a lot of group borders so people get discounts for group orders and it's also very focused on live projects so it has it's trying to become china's biggest grocery company as well so it's another one of these monster sized chinese check companies . what's interesting now is that these tech companies are very much in the sights of the government exactly we've seen in recent last month can do a was was hit with a fine for and you trust behavior very similar to the kind of pressure that's been put on ali baba and i think with column one today resigning i think this is assigned up to the age

hey, ali, good morning >> good morning, phillip that's right after six days, there finally seems to bee movement after the clolossal ever given container ship was refloated this morning in a statement, the ever given has successfully floated after the ship responded to pulling and towing maneuvers, and the stern of the ship was now about 334 feet from the shore. both the canal authorities and the maritime logistics company said the japanese-owned ship which is the size of a skyscraper, has now been about 80% freed. dredgers worked over the weekend to dislodge the weekend while 14 tugboats were conductingpull and tug manufactures from three different directions and phillip, it's hardly surprising such a massive effort was made to free the ship considering what a crucial effort the suez canal is about 12% of global trade around one million barrels of oil and roughly 8% of liquefied natural gas passes through the canal every day. they're expecting the final maneuvers to be made today, and hopefully the waterway will be cleared shortly. >> sounds like they've got about a football field to

>>> good morning, i'm ali velshi. more than 100 million doses of covid vaccine have been administered in the united states, more than 102 million done since biden assumed office, far more than his stated goal. biden marked the milestone yesterday with staff and scientists at the centers for disease crock in atlanta. >> mr. president, your leadership over covid-19 pandemic from day one has instilled confidence and reinvigorated our whole of government response. it has reinvigorated me personally and this entire agency. your support for cdc is so important to the hundreds of cdc staff and leaders. >> science is back. you can build all of the walls and have the most powerful armies in the world, but we cannot stop -- we cannot stop these viruses. and you are the army. you're the navy. you're the marines. i really mean it. this is a war. you are the frontline troops. what you're doing really, really, really matters. >> that was yesterday at cdc headquarters in atlanta, which was the first stop on biden and kamala harris'

>> thank you for having me on the program, ali.es to look for the variants from u.k., south africa, brazil, here in new york city. and we indeed found a few such variants in our midst. but in the course of doing that we identified homegrown variants, which is now referred to as b1526. and if you look at the spike protein, the protein that sits on the outside of the virus particle and responsible to the virus binding to the cell, there's one major mutation there that's share would the south african variant as well as the brazilian variant. previously we've characterized those variants and know mutation would hinder some action of some of the antibody treatments we already have and also would lower the ability of the serum from vaccinated individuals to neutralize the virus, and hence that has the potential to compromise vaccine efficacy. >> and of course people like me think, wow, more fatal is the worst thing that can happen with a virus. but in fact potentially more contagious or able to neutralize could ultimately be more dangero

i'm ali velshi. this morning, covid financial relief is days away from becoming a reality for millions of americans suffering through know fault of their own as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. president biden's $179 trillion covid relief bill finally made it way through the senate on a 50-49 partyline vote with every republican voting no. last year, they passed the $3.3 trillion c.a.r.e.s. act. with the overwhelming support of both parties. but this one, under a new democratic president republicans blasted as part sap and excessive in its spending. seems odd, perhaps politically motivated. it is almost like they are more interested in seeing a democratic president fail than the american public succeed, especially when you consider they were spending on tax cuts for corporations and the rich. now the price tag is too high. that party stands in lock step against struggling americans, their relief checks, extended unemployment checks and getting schools reopened. but the landmark measure passed. a

i'm ali velshi. as a country we have now grown accustomed for hearing about morbid recorded, but new records of vaccine were administered today. in total 137 million doses of covid-19 have been administered in the united states. during his first solo press conference since assuming office, president biden doubled his original vaccine goal. >> i'm setting a second goal, that is we will by my 100th day in office have administered 200 million shots in peoples arms. >> even with the positive news on the vaccine front, covid-19 deaths remain above 1,000 a day. a number that is slowly decreasing, but still represents enormous pain and heartbreak for families across the country and now new cases of covid-19 are rising. averaging around 57,000 a day. one of the reasons for the continued high covid-19 numbers, states relaxing or eliminating pandemic health restrictions. consequently that's playing a part in other good news, weekly jobless claims were just 684,000 last week. still a huge number. but the lowest

ali is a dad now.ey fleeing theirjourney fleeing then returning is the story of azerbaijan and armenia. two neighbours, two wars, the bitterest of enemies. nagorno—karabakh is an armenian majority area inside azerbaijan's international borders. in 1992, a long—running dispute over who should control it turned into war. armenia invaded, taking over nagorno—karabakh and the surrounding areas. 30,000 people died and i million, the vast majority of them azerbaijani lake rashim and nyla were forced from their homes. rashim was at a wedding when the armenian assault began? more than two decades, rashim, naila and ali, have lived as refugees and a cramped apartment hundreds of kilometres away. last september, everything changed. the second karabakh war broke out with azerbaijan launching an attack on armenian positions. with the backing of turkey and its high—tech drones, the azerbaijani is made rapid progress. in 44 days of war, armenia lost large parts of the land that it seized in the 19905 and had to give

pleased to welcome ayaan hirsi ali and i will return later for the question program. >> i want to speak briefly first about the controversy and speak directly to all of you. we live in a world we insist women are to be believed and their experience should be trusted but the same people want to silence ayaan hirsi ali for silencing hers she has suffered the most evil forms of violence against women we declare black lives matter. she is a black woman traveling under armed guard under a decade and a half due to credible death threats and now told her voice puts people's lives in danger. we live in a world where some speeches violence and sounding the alarm an actual violence perpetrated against women and girls is met with denunciation. not just hypocrisy these are the tools that liberal ideologues who masqueraded morally fashionably language use to bully and silence those they disagree with. those that want to shut down conversation are not interested in for each one - - freedom or speech or safety that we live in a country with the bill of rights and the constitution and the culture of li
