. >> just a few miles from those protests tonight, senator tina smith weighing in on the hurt felt in minnesota. >> there are many fine individuals who work at the minneapolis police department. but underneath this, and intrinsic in this department i believe is some deep issues around systemic racial bias and also a sense of violence and policing that we saw play out. on this video. but it is not new. >> the senator calling for the department of justice to investigate. >> what that means is an independent monitor comes in. there is agreement about what needs to change in the department. and that independent monitor does not leave until those changes have been made. >> in louisville, protests reached a boiling point. >> some in the crowd turned violent, leading to seven people being shot from within the crowd. >> the outcry here, erupting over the march 13th police killing of brianna taylor who was asleep in her apartment with her boyfriend kenneth walker when they heard what they thought were intruders. >> 911, operator harris, what is your emergency? >> somebody kicked in the door an

i'm joined by junior senator from minnesota, tina smith, with me congresswoman ilhan omar, ali velshi. senator, i'm going to you first to get a reaction to that. a big difference in the tone today of this press conference. what do you make of these back-and-forth questions about who it is responsible for burning parts of black minneapolis? >> well, thank you, joy. i want to thank you for your honest and straightforward reporting of this incredibly complicated situation. what i took out of this is that the fundamental message i think i took out of yesterday as well, which is people in these communities do not burn down their own grocery stores. they do not desecrate the community benefit organizations that are there in their own communities because they are there for them. and the -- what happened last night is, i think, i hope, a turning point in terms of ending this violence against our community, perpetrated by what appears to have been an organized effort. but, you know, i'm thinking first thing this morning, i went and -- down to 38th and chicago, which is just a few miles from wh

that is senator tina smith, democrat of minnesota.ants new stimulus given to people by way of a payroll tax reduction. we will talk with david mcintosh, president of club for growth. that is next on balance on bloomberg television and on radio. ♪ david: welcome back to balance of power. trump yesterday said he has an idea about what should be done if there is a cares 2.0. reduce payroll tax deductions. we welcome matt mcintosh -- david mcintosh, president of the club for growth. hope you are doing well. do you think a payroll tax adduction is the way to go right now -- deduction is the way to go? a temporarynk waiver of it could boost the rehiring of people, but in the end it also causes further complications on the fiscal side. one of the things i think is better is for congress to greet the president the authority to waive regulations so that small businesses can come up and not have to worry about all the red tape, but immediately rehire people. it cost them about $50,000 per employee to comply with all the federal regulations. tha

. >> tina smith, senator from minnesota. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> yesterday, the report, the white house wanted to focus the public's attention on preparedness and confidence. today's hearing may have put that messaging to the test. >> my concern is that states, cities, regions, their attempt, understandable to get to some sort of nomality. disregard, the check points we put in the guidelines, about when it is safe to proceed, in pulling back on mitigation. >> if we don't do better on testing, on contact and on social distancing, will deaths from coronavirus necessarily increase? >> of course, if you don't do an adequate response, we will have the consequence of more infeces and deaths. >> the white house testing czar suggesting he was misrepresenting the data. >> i understand that politicians are going to frame data in a way that is most advantageous, yesterday, you celebrated we had done more tests per capita in than south korea, but they accomplished theirs at the beginning, we treaded water during febru

i called for that today and wrote a her with my colleague tina smith and 25 senators. this has to change. and hiring practices and training, the criminal justice system as a whole. there are so many things we can do. but right now, we want our community to heal. >> listen, this is something that you want to address. the officer charged today in george floyd's death was involved in a shooting of a stabbing suspect but was never charged. you left for washington a few months later to be senator so this was not your decision. but some say it was skin with your record of declining to bring charges against multiple officers involved in shootings. do you think that's a valid criticism? >> let me address the first point. that people throwing things out there on the internet saying i somehow declined this case. that is an outright lie. the case was investigated and the, my successor took that case and about eight, anybody months later, brought it to the grand jury. so i was literally not in the office. i was sworn in as a senator. and i frankly until today have not gotten to ad
