mark claxton still with us, jim cavanaugh still with us. to the control room, if we can play that video one more time and i want to get mark, as well as jim's response that we're able to show that video. >> i think you've had too much to drink to be driving. i'm going to place you under arrest. put your hands behind your back. >> stop fighting. stop fighting. you're going to get -- [ bleep ]. >> hands off the taser. hands off the taser. >> what did you hear there? >> what i heard there is exactly what jim cavanaugh several minutes ago predicted we would who are, and that is routine, what should be observed, routine kind of police-style for an attempt to handcuff an individual, the mild resistance initially followed by more direct resistance and the question still remains. the question that the attorney posed early on, that jim has posed, that i'm posing. that is, why did you shoot this man? why did you kill this man? because nothing we have seen as of yet and i don't see how anything can change this or additional video can change this, the

the import cavanaugh did vote t reverse the complete supreme court from four years ago, but the important thing is chief justice roberts, who had four years ago voted in opposite direction, at this time joint o the four liberals to uphold the case from four years ago. it's called holding its health, and to allow it to survive. >> what do you think politically ? can we look at this as may be a bellwether for abortion legislation going forward? >> that is a great question about the future implications, if you are a conservative who voted for president trump, who voted for republicans because four years ago, justice had died , there was a vacancy held open, you are going to be disappointed and upset. you might ask if you really vot for presidential candidates because of your desire to overrule, kc or row, you are going to be extremely disappointed. on the other hand, chief justic roberts who i think his vote is hard to understand legally migh be playing the political game o let's get the court out of politics. i don't want the supreme court to be the issue for that elections. i don't want ab

cavanaugh, what are your thoughts on where the investigation heads from here?i am sorry to say that all of these police shootings that are obvious unjustify use of force, cold blooded murders, the minneapolis wasn't a shooting but cold blooded murder on video. all of the justice moves way too slow for me. even mr. arbery's killing. i spent a lot of time in glenn county, georgia. i know the area well. when i was a young cop, mark will attest to the same thing, i had many street murders, bar murders, and i showed up on the street there was a man with a shotgun who had shot another man three times that man was unarmed, had committed no crime and i was the first deputy there, and i am not saying this is a fantasy. i have arrested people just like this with a double on the double yellow line of the highway. and i would arrest the shooter. i would put the gun in the trunk for evidence. he would go to central booking. the gun would go to evidence. and that would be the minimum, minimum response i would do. i would then tell the detectives and make sure everybody was i

i want to bring in jim cavanaugh. jim, let's get straight to what we're waiting for, and that is the new body cam video. up to 90 minutes from what i'm hearing right now that all of our team members are working on here at nbc news to evaluate and then put forward, to understand what we can actually broadcast. but what might we learn from it based on what blayne understands to be in that video and what might be relevant to the case as we try to understand the outcome? >> well, i thought blayne did a great job describing what was in this body cam video. and really, it's going to be very dull. but there are salient points in the main one being that they did a body search or frisk of mr. brooks. and the reason that's important is he was shot within a couple of minutes. so if the officers knew that he was not armed, they had searched him or even searched his pockets and knew he did not have a firearm, when they were in the struggle with him, you can clearly see that they are fighting over the taser. they're each looking at

over to you, my friend jim cavanaugh.was talking to marq about this in context, what are we seeing tonight? the live pictures on the left-hand side of the screen as well as the very fast developments in this administration of atlanta, georgia. >> what we're seeing is just what marq described. you cannot police citizens without the consent of the governed in a democracy. in other words, in a democracy the police and the citizens have to act as one. citizens have to act as one. if the citizens don't trust the police, they feel oppressed by the police, abused by the police, they feel mistreated by the police, and they see this repeatedly and repeatedly. they can't live with that in a democracy and they shouldn't have to. and america at large is what mark is describing. it's not just the minority communities, not just black and brown communities and asian communities. it's america standing up saying, we don't want this. we want a change in this because you police with the consent of the governed, you police with the consent o

cavanaugh is one of our speakers. we have speakers and is for healthcare workers because continuing education credits are available but also for the general public. these principles will be very helpful for yourselves and your loved ones, for everyone towards the end li so, we are looking forward to a good conference. >> i want to come in and you've advised us we have to get prepared. it is serious business to get prepared for ourselves and for what do you think we should all be doing to get prepared for end-of-life. vicki has a very practical side of things but what about you? what is the main thing we should take away? >> i think what we are doing now is a model of what we should do, talk about dying. we need to talk about dying to our families. the good deaths, which ones have we experienced or seen or been part of? where they good deaths? what bad deaths ordered deaths that went badly have we been part of, and why did they go badly? what can we do, looking forward to our own deaths and the deaths of our loved ones

the clerk on the dc circuit and self for an impressive young judge named brett cavanaugh. and then on the supreme court area he's built a national reputation as a leading academic scholar of the law. it's no wonder that even the aba rates and well-qualified. he has quickly made a name for himself as a district judgemayor of louisville tried cancel driving easter services , with disparate restrictions that did not apply equally to other arcing lots, judge walker one national attention or his eloquent defense of religious liberty. the subject becomes more important by the day. the american people deserve to have strong respect for their first amendment rights including the rights of religious exercise and conscience. on one of our country's highest court. so i look forward to tail our kentucky fried for judge walker as the week unfolds and i'll take great pride in voting to advance his nomination . the twoconfirmed . but first madame president the senate will pass the great american outdoors act. it will be a big step in the history of our nation's public lands and great new

publically, that they would uphold, especially cavanaugh, would uphold roe v. wade as settled law. senator collins issued a statement today saying as justice gorsich noted roe v. wade is not at issue here and while justice cavanaugh called for additional fact finding in this case, he gave no indication in his dissenting opinion that he supports overturning roe. do you think senator collins is being overly optimistic in her reading of these opinions? >> well, she can certainly sleep a lot easier tonight than the rest of the women in this country. what she said makes absolutely no sense. these two justices voted against women today. they voted against abortion rights. and when you look at brett kavanaugh in particular, since obviously that was a very high stakes vote that she took in opposition to what women wanted in this country, not only did brett kavanaugh vote against women, he's been on the wrong side of the dreamers decision. he's been on the wrong side of lgbtq rights. these are really important confirmations. and i think women in maine are angry. they're

i want to bring in jim cavanaugh., let's get straight to what we're waiting for, and that is the new body cam video. up to 90 minutes from what i'm hearing right now that all of our team members are working on here at nbc news to evaluate and then put forward, to understand what we can actually broadcast. but what might we learn from it based on what blayne understands to be in that video and what might be relevant to the case as we try to understand the outcome? >> well, i thought blayne did a great job describing what was in this body cam video. and really, it's going to be very dull. but there are salient points in the main one being that they did a body search or frisk of mr. brooks. and the reason that's important is he was shot within a couple of minutes. so if the officers knew that he was not armed, they had searched him or even searched his pockets and knew he did not have a firearm, when they were in the struggle with him, you can clearly see that they are fighting over the taser. they're each looking at him

so with me now, lucy cavanaugh in houston. and lucy, what do these actions mean for texans?> reporter: well, it remains to be seen whether this will slow the spread of the virus. remember, texas was one of the first states to push for an aggressive economic reopening. we're seeing the fallout from that. three consecutive days of record-breaking new case numbers. we're still waiting for today's numbers to come out. the governor forced to issue an executive order to scale back the reopening shutting down all pars to patrons. they could still do takeout and delivery. restaurants scaling back from 75% to 50%. rafting and tubing trips completely shut down. and public gatherings of over 100 people or more are banned unless local authorities allow it. but when you talk to people on the ground, the local officials like here in harris county who see the impact and the soaring in cases, they say that doesn't go far enough. lena hidalgo, the local judge issued that severe warning, the highest in the county, she's urging folks to stay home, to work from home, to not do any kind of trave

she's trying to take control of the situation there, and right now we're going to go to james cavanaughmer atf specialist. and, jim, good to have you on the phone. i know that you've been covering this throughout the day and the evening here for us. and now here we are still in atlanta, and the scene is unfolding, and more demonstrators are coming out. they've already burned the wendy's down, and it just seems to be unraveling here, james. what can you tell us about this scene? >> well, i think atlanta p.d. here has to just, you know, use a lot of restraint. look, it's bad that a business burned, but if nobody was killed or injured in that fire, there's -- you know, buildings burn every night in america for various reasons. it's a property loss, and it's not a reason for the department to overreact. i think that atlanta police should just have some restraint, be calm. people are on the street, but that doesn't mean that they are all committing violence and arson. now, that climate may change, and they'll have to deal with that. but right now from the video feed, we can see just people m

cnn's lucy cavanaugh joins me from minneapolis. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, fred, the day after the city council voted to move forward basically the first step in what's going to be a very long process in moving towards disbanding the police, you can see there are still people on the streets here in minneapolis. we're at another black lives matter rally, another rally to protest the way in which george floyd was killed. people just starting to trickle in here. we're expecting the protests here to get larger. but as for the city council vote, the members saying in minneapolis there have been decades of efforts to reform the police. those have not worked. it's time to try a new way. take a listen to what one city councilwoman said about the reason why they're making this push. >> we acknowledge that the current system is not reformable, that we would like to end the current policing system as we know it and that we would like to create a completely new transformative model of public safety that centers a lot of things, healing, restorative ju

the reporter was and is herbert cavanaugh. >> little rock was an unlikely place for a federal state showdownen some desegregation in the states and the governor was not considered a man devoted to desegregation, but circumstances got out of control and central high school became the pivot in this federal-state struggle. i remember the night of september 24, 1957, when the first battle-dragged army troops arrived on this street. it was a scene income principle incomprehensible to the 50 or so townspeople looking on. one man turned to a companion and said, you won't get many people to full around with those guys, which fronted the response, "yeah, but it's a hell of a way to run a school" -- which prompted the response. president eisenhower sent in the troops of the 101st airborne. the mob reacted in bitter violence on learning nine negroes had entered the school as students. a couple of weeks earlier, state militia had barred the negroes from the school. the nine negroes went in but were asked to leave three hours later in a move to soothe the mob. troops of the 101st airborne, a perimeter wa

lucy cavanaugh explains the changes and what's happening. >>> well, cnn can confirm that at least sevenis police officers are resigning according to the minneapolis star tribune, more than a dozen more could be in the process of leaving the police department. we are told that as of wednesday hr has processed seven separations of employment since memorial day. that number does not include the four officers involved in the killing of george floyd, former officers at this point. as to why they're leaving the information is not public. police department spokesmen telling cnn, quote, people seek to leave employment for a myriad of reasons. the minneapolis police department is no exception. this comes as the department is facing pressure here within the state as well as nationwide to change its practices. they are under a state human rights investigation. there are also growing calls to defund and even abolish the minneapolis police department. the city council taking the first step in that direction on friday launching a year long process to look into options that would be an alternative to

let's begin in texas and our correspondent lucy cavanaugh is live in dallas. good morning, lucy. >> reporter: good morning, poppy. texas is just one of 26 states seeing a surge in these coronavirus cases this as president donald trump said this epidemic, this pandemic has america to its knees and dr. anthony fauci describing this as a disturbing rise and disturbing surge in cases warning about this concern about this plan to economically reopen states that have been championed by the president. he is also saying that it's going to be critical how we operate over the next few weeks in terms of getting this pandemic under control. california and texas, the two most populous states inundated by a number of cases. here in texas, a record spike, 5,000 new cases announced and there's also a surge in hospitalizations. those increasing by 10%. there is concern about bed availability especially in intensive care units to the point that some places like houston which has seen a large number of cases to the children's hospital there now making room and making space for a

lucy cavanaugh reports who's at risk. >> reporter: the coronavirus nearly killed christopher marshall. >> i got so sick that it was acute respiratory distress syndrome with septic shock. >> reporter: the 37-year-old university of north texas graduate student spent weeks at dallas hospitals. >> do you think you would have died? >> i definitely would have died. it got that serious. i'm going home. >> reporter: though doctors saved him, marshall worries about getting sick again due to surges across texas. he's rarely leaving home struggling with survivor's guilt. >> the hardest part for me, initially waking up and seeing how many people died from covid-19 because it was like why did i live and everybody else died? >> reporter: texas, one of the first states to push an aggressive reopening is seeing new hospitalization rates reaching record highs. >> there is a massive outbreak of covid-19 across texas. >> so many getting sick that in houston the texas hospital is now admitting adult patients. >> our numbers seem to be rising very quickly and some of the models are on the verge of being a

justices that will vote to overturn roe v wade, and he did get the votes of neil gorsuch and bret cavanaughanti-abortion side. the president can make the argument that i need more justices to appoint so we can eventually overturn roe v wade. by the same token, joe biden can argue this issue is still unsettled, and with the age of ruth bader ginsberg and stephen breyer, their continued tenure on the court and possible replacements should be something voters are thinking about when they go to the polls. >> thanks to you both. really appreciate it. >>> alleged russian bounties on u.s. troops in afghanistan. the white house says the president was not briefed about the intelligence. does speaker nancy pelosi believe that? i'll ask her next. $9.95 at my age? $9.95? no way. $9.95? that's impossible. hi, i'm jonathan, a manager here at colonial penn life insurance company, to tell you it is possible. if you're age 50 to 85, you can get life insurance with options starting at just $9.95 a month. okay, jonathan, i'm listening. tell me more. just $9.95 a month for colonial penn's number one most popul

. >> start with lucy cavanaugh in minneapolis. folks can see, you were, still are, in the room where this press conference happened. take us through what the police chief really announced here. >> reporter: right, kate. a significant press conference by the police chief medaria arredondo. he spoke passionately and refused to mention of name of derek chauvin, the former minneapolis police officer involved in the killing of george floyd and outlined a plan in his words would shape a new paradigm in peacekeeping. they are effectively today going to stop negotiating, doing contract negotiations with the police union here. this isn't about salaries or wages, he said. this is about restructuring new contracts that take into account things like excessive use of force. like the role that supervisors play in responding to calls. in being able to address, for example, misconduct by police. he spoke how difficult it is when you have grounds to dismiss a police officer for misconduct, that you have to negotiate with a third party that often p

president trump's other nominee and appointment to the supreme court, justice cavanaugh expressing in his own opinion a lot of sympathy for the gay/transgender community but saying, look, this is not what congress had in mind when they passed the statute. >> to all of our viewers joining the supreme court has ruled that lgbtq workers are protected by the civil rights act of 1964, a historic day for equality in this country. we're going to take a quick break. we have a live picture of the march taking place in atlanta. when we come back, we're going to atlanta. we're also going to talk to the district attorney of fulton county. stay with us. who takes care of yourself. so when it comes to screening for colon cancer, don't wait. because when caught early, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers... ...even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your prescriber if cologuard is right for you. i'm on

she voted against justice cavanaugh, she voted to uphold obamacare so she is really a person of convictionn most instances. while the president made those tweets last night saying that she's going to campaign against her, i'm not sure if he knows that she had lost a republican primary already in 2010 and then she came back to win her election, her reelection, as a write-in candidate so she's extremely popular in alaska. very independent-minded voters, yasmin. >> so senator murkowski mentioned that in internally she felt like this might be a moment where others might begin to come forward against the president as she in some way did yesterday. i know that you've been speaking to some other senators on this, along with their reactions to jim mattis' comments and what he wrote. what are you hearing? >> we also heard from senator romney who was also a little bit critical. he called mattis' comments stunning and powerful, said that he was a wonderful, wonderful man, but romney and murkowski are really outliers here. we spoke to a lot of senate republicans and most of them said they didn't even

. >>> i'm joined by maya wiley, and jim cavanaugh, a long-time agent and analyst for us.d evening to both of you. we've been discussing the murder charge itself at the top of our show. that is a big deal and rare. the other asserted rarity, which is clearly widely contested was what we just walked through, the d.a. saying the partner had turned state's witness and this brand new two-page release from his lawyer saying i just want viewers to have this, devin is cooperating but has not agreed to turn state witness or in any court hearing. your analysis maya. >> well, given that the officer is facing charges and he's trying to figure out where and how he has room to maneuver that benefits himself, that's probably what is going on here. he wants to be cooperative and see what kind of deal he can cut. that's one possibility. i don't know whether that's happening. but i think this goes to your other part, ari, which is just how rare it is for police officers to agree to testify against other police officers. you know, there's a phrase in the new york city police department that

. >> shannon: justice cavanaugh talked about there is only one word what the court sounded like todayslation. the document that the court releases and the form of judicial opinion determining a statute, but that is deceptive. elizabeth, conservatives rail against activism and alec using one of their own "ag g.o.p. nominee of doing that." an absolutely clear you can't discriminate against anyone because of sex and that includes sexual orientation and gender identity. the law is clear and simply all the court was doing was pulling the word of the statute. that is why you have this cross ideological support for what the court decided, that in our country, we will not allow gay couples to get married on sunday and then be fired on monday because of who they love. also, i think that a parade of deplorables is preposterous. i fully believe the united states of america can have equality under law and women's sports. all of us at the supreme court did was to say that the civil rights act enforcing antidiscrimination laws is clear. it will be applied, and i think that is a victory for equality

there was a young -- he's 7 years-old, cavanaugh bell is his name and he decided to create this whole is gathering food and getting donations to feed seniors. i mean these - >> jimmy: wow. >> these incredible kids who are -- who know what i have long believed, which is, we're all born as leaders. and then it's just a matter of when you decide turn that on and these kids inspire me like you can't believe. so, there are a lot of good stories. >> jimmy: do you get that energy from your parents or the thought of hey, i have to fight for what's right >> yeah. >> jimmy: and i've got to get out there? i mean, when were you out there protesting >> well, i was in a stroller [ laughter ] i was in a stroller. and so i was out there >> jimmy: wow. >> and in fact, my mother used to have a very funny story about how i was fussing and she said, "kamala, what do you want?" and i said, and this is how she would say it, and she said, "kamala, what do you want? and i said, "fweedom." [ laughter ] l >> jimmy: oh [ laughter ] oh, come on. "fweedom." >> it was a much cuter story when she would tell it, but

justice thomas lead dissenting opinion, but also justice cavanaugh's opinion is very ver powerful, soration as palpable, it is understandable. the supreme court will once again be in election year issue as it was four years ago. >> so when you read justice roberts, i want you to bring it down for us because i know the legal expert so far has said he didn't really weigh in on daca. is that totally true because yo do way in if you don't vote for or against something, right? how does it work? >> that is a yes and no you're absolutely right. here is what's absolutely clear the original executive order by president obama was unlawful, the question is then how do you get rid of this unlawful order? president president obama let's be clear exceeded his powers under the laws of the united states and the constitution. that as a given for chief justice roberts. but how do you then get rid of the order? how do you resend it? what that chief justice and the majority of the justices concluded is that you've got to go through a much more elaborat procedure then the president used here through his c

necessary be swayed by any political considerations that dissenting judges judges thomas alito and cavanaugh wrote blistering dissents to the judgment that lead to in particular describing it as an arrogant decision blistering words from a judge against some of his colleagues but certainly a very significant ruling indeed does this also represent something of a sting in the tail for the the trump white house in as much as you know there was a point perhaps 2 years into his administration when he was very keen to get his very particular sort of political interpretation of the supreme court in play in play some people saying world is very much right of center because it's no got mr trump's fingerprints over the supreme court and the people who make up the court. well indeed yes because he has appointed 2 judges to the supreme court brett kavanaugh and neil gore such as i mentioned but there are interesting 1000000 that's the number of trump related cases still to be adjudicated on by the court the decision still to be made public among these is a question not a tax returns there are 2 separate
