brittany and jelani are sticking around. we're going to bring them back in a little bit. >>> coming up, it's the largest investigation in american history. from dating apps to surveillance video, we'll look at how investigators are tracking down hundreds involved in the january 6th insurrection. >>> plus, three straight days of recording breaking cases, record-breaking casing of covid. why the covid crisis in india shows no signs of letting up. >>> but first, richard lui is here with the headlines. good to see you. >> a very good evening to you, zerlina. stories we're watching for this hour, starting next week, pharmacies will stock their shelves with at-home covid tests. no prescription. results come in as little as 15 minutes. public health experts say increasing texts access is critical to beating the virus. israel launched air strikes on the gaza strip in response to rocket attacks by palestinian militants. at the same time, hundreds of palestinians and israeli police in east jerusalem clashed. the u.n. said it's working

brittany and jelani are back with us.y made me chuckle, because i just can't even imagine a world in which men think participation in the insurrection of the capitol is a way to get a date. but that's the reality we're living in. so brittney, i just want to start by asking, in all seriousness, actually, the difference in the treatment. because i think post-insurrection, no one can say the police treat black and brown people the same way they treat white people. i think the january 6th insurrection ends that argument. so, speak to how the people who were actually violent but happened to be mostly white were treated kind of like guests in the capitol, you know, removing barricades in some of those videos, obviously, as some of the capitol police were being violently attacked. and black people who were driving around, walking, running, sleeping, they are treated as if they are engaged in criminal behavior. >> that's right, zerlina. i mean, look, first of all, if you're looking at nearly 500 arrestees from january 6th, what t

. >> professor jelani cobb, you're out there in the area. what has your day been like there and what are you -- what is your reaction to what we are witnessing tonight? >> well, i've been here since last week and i was here to cover the chauvin trial which is now obviously another story that has emerged in the context of it. when you talk with people, the thing that you heard across different boundaries, different backgrounds, race, etc, was that everyone agreed that there would be violence if chauvin was acquitted. nobody saw this coming. and on sunday, when i first heard about what happened, i headed out to brooklyn center and would amazed me is that that first night, there were about 400 in front of the police station. something that had just happened a few hours earlier, i thought that it really represented how high the tensions have been in this community and in surrounding communities in the context of this trial. >> and, josie duffy rice, as the trial proceeds, the chauvin trial proceeds with this new case developing at the same time

earlier on this network, "new yorker" writer jelani cobb described the mood there. >> it was kind of a whiplash because there was a great deal of release and joy really at the guilty verdict that came down in the derek chauvin trial. and then quickly people were kind of whip sawed back into this grieving mode. >> jelani cobb speaking with nicolle wallace this afternoon. as for the guilty verdicts in the murder of george floyd, an alternate juror who sat through every moment of the trial is speaking out. she had no role in the verdict. the two alternates were excused before the deliberations started, as is customary but she said she did agree with the jury's decision. >> i felt he was guilty. the prosecution made a really good, strong argument. dr. tobin was the one who really did it for me. he explained everything, i understood it down to where he said this is the moment he lost his life. >> had you ever sign the nine and a half minutes of the video before? >> no, i had seen it two or three times but i didn't see it in its entirety. it was emotional. i think my eyes teared up a coupl

jelani, last thoughts. >> very quickly. one thing i have to say, it's difficult to say that derek chauvin went rogue. he was in a supervisory capacity that day. >> right. >> officer potter, in brooklyn center, was in a supervisory capacity. while it may not be textbook policing, it may reflect how poliing operated in that department. >> thank you both for your time. >>> friday, we brought to you the story of the new caucus, being shopped around by marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar. and it was staking a claim to a vision of a republican party not afraid to say that tens of millions of non-white people that came to our shore by 1965 may have been a mistake. but that seems not to have gone over too well. that's next. l. that's next. to allergens all season long. psst! psst! all good ♪ ♪ (engine starts) the john deere z365r ztrak mower is here, and it's built for taking it easy. look, it says so right there.

with me is jelani cobb and paul butler.ant to start with you because you've been there on the ground. what the folks are saying and what you're seeing. we have photos that you took while you were on the ground. >> yeah. as you would imagine, it's a tense situation and so that photo you're looking at right there is the first night. one of the reasons why i think it's important to look at the first night is that, you know -- you know this as well as i do, with these events, there tends to be an arc or a curve where they start out with a certain degree, kind of small cluster of people who are outraged, they come out to protest, maybe two or three days later, it grows and sometimes it takes a week for people to get fully cognizant of what's going on. that is a few hours after daunte wright was killed. and by my estimation there were 400 people out there that night. those demonstrations have only grown and the news that this was allegedly a mistake only inflamed -- i don't think that they should have released that statement beca

. >> i think jelani really hit the nail on the head.atalyst for change, but a lot is going to have to happen in the policy realm, and that needs to happen at both the federal level and the state and local level, and the george floyd justice in policing act is certainly one step but there are many questions about getting this resolved and through the senate. there are a lot of questions on both sides of the aisle about whether they can come to some kind of reconciliation on questions of qualified immunity. there's considerable discussion of whether chokeholds will continue to be included in the bill as something that is prohibited or whether that will be taken out and it's unclear whether activists on the ground will find the ultimate bill that if it gets passed, is actually satisfying for the reforms that they want, but most importantly, it's worth noting that policing is quintessentially a local and state level enterprise. >> that's right. >> the federal government can certainly encourage states and localities to do better, but ultimat

. >> jelani i know you've been in minnesota in your back, now you've been covering this. one thing that was so striking to me watching arguments today, and obviously closing arguments is the most leeway legally, you can see the most things, but the context outside the courtroom was so present inside the courtroom. and i thought that rift by the prosecutor, this is not please this is properly, some might be hard for you, but we trust police, we trust them to do the right thing, and i'm the whole time i'm thinking that's a very specific we. you are using their, although useful in affected for that jury. >> i think some of this is a political rhetoric. and calculated. it points to a bigger dynamic, that i think is much more substantial. we have seen, in this case, police come out against eric chauvin, in a way that you almost never see in previous cases. it's been because, the outrage that the video generated. world wide outrage. of what became a national indictment on the global stage, the glow back from that was so significant, that the system itself went into self preserv

eugene robinson, professor jelani cobb, thank you both very much for joining us on this important nightk you. >> thank you. coming up, the minneapolis police department lied to you in their first public report of what happened to george floyd. it's the kind of lie that american police departments have gotten away with not dozens of times, not hundreds of times but thousands and thousands of times in the history of policing in america. but they didn't get away with it this time thanks to a brave 17-year-old girl. that's next. ♪ the calming scent of lavender by downy infusions calm. laundry isn't done until it's done with downy. tonight, i'll be eating a veggie cheeseburger on ciabatta, no tomatoes..

. >> jelani cobb speaking with nicole wallace this afternoon asked for the guilty verdicts in the murder of george floyd. and ultimate juror who sat through every minute of the role in the verdict. the trials two alternates were excused before deliberations started. as is customary. but she said that she did agree with the jury's ultimate decision. >> i felt he was guilty. the prosecution made a really good strong argument. dr. tobin was the one that really did it for me. he explained everything that i understood it down to where he said that this is the moment where he lost his life. >> have you ever seen the nine and a half minutes of the video before? >> no. i had seen the video two or three times. but i did not see in its entirety. it was emotional. i think my eyes teared up a couple of times. so, especially seeing it from different angles, and things. >> while the white house has been focused on bringing change to policing today, the attention was also on fighting the effects of climate change on this earth day 2021. the president hosted a virtual climate summit with americas allies

the fact that, like jelani said, the fact that daunte wright was killed in the middle of this trial is, you know, both a coincidence and also inevitable. this is the pattern of police violence in this country. what it tells us is that derek chauvin is on trial, and that is important. but it also indicates that derek chauvin is far outside the standard deviation of what is acceptable behavior in police departments across the country. and i think that's wrong. what we saw because of what happened to daunte wright, philando castile and others, this is a pattern. this death and brutality is a pattern in policing in this country. and it needs to be eradicated from the ground floor to really address the rot in the profession writ large. >> professor cobb, what was the reaction when the minneapolis star-tribune was quoting the police officer saying, oh, i shot him. that was the headline, basically, the accident explanation for how daunte wright was shot and killed? >> let me tell you, i've been talking to community members, activists, and people all day. i think that that statement really did

i don't know you're not far from the scene of where george floyd died, i believe, jelani, you have been back and forth to minneapolis, give me your impressions, what are people saying? what is the mood, and big picture because i'm glad to have a historian on in this moment. >> yeah, i'm right near the intersection of 38th and chicago where george floyd died. and it's become a kind of sacred space. there is a cordon around it. there are flowers. there are candles. people come out and pay their respects at that corner. and behind me now, as you can probably hear, you can probably see some of it, there's a gigantic rally taking place. there are, you know, probably easily a thousand people who are crowded into this intersection who have come out and really are kind of elated atmosphere and t the streets chanting. there was a band playing. in new orleans, they would have called a second line. it is a band playing. there are people marching behind it chanting, we got that justice, now we got that peace. one of the things you hear when you talk with people is that this is just one part of thei
