"the story" with martha starts right now. >> martha: thanks. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum live in new york. here's the story. the firestorm in georgia that has the whole country watching is heating up this afternoon. texas governor greg abbott says, you know what? i'm not going to throw out that first pitch tonight at the mlb game that gets started. texas rangers game at their home opener. so in moments, we'll talk to the man at the center of what's going on in georgia. that's brian kemp. he's standing by. we'll be with him in just a minute. his state stands to lose $100 million now that the mlb yanked the all-star game

and john brown tells a story the, there are a couple of moments of epiphany for john brown. one is when he's a young boy, he's 8 or 10 years old, he's praying in ohio with another -- playing in ohio with another child who happens to be black. john brown is vaguely aware of slavery, but he doesn't know what it means on a personal level until some guy that turns out to be the owner, comes around and beats him on the head. john brown, all of a sudden i realized my position was very different from this person's position. and abraham lincoln, he was in his late teens, and he had been hired to float a cargo of flat boats down the mississippi to new orleans. and for the first time in his wife, he witnessed a slave auction. and lincoln remembered that was when he realized there was something really wrong about slavery. he'd been aware of slavery, but he'd never seen the process by which people were sold just like cattle and horses were sold. and so i wonder if for the three women that dorothy writes about, i'll ask dorothy, can you identify moments when they came to the conclusion t

john: you have to do 30 minutes a day. male: thirty minutes? john: you're doin' great. candice: brandon's building a new life, too. brandon: i'm thinkin' like, you know, what do i tell my son are my biggest regrets? you know, like, "look, dude, we were in a homeless shelter for two years. you know why we were there? because of these mistakes that i made." candice: after 19 months of living in a homeless shelter, a rental-property owner heard brandon's story and agreed to take a chance on him. brandon also recently celebrated more than three years of sobriety. candice: in the months we've been following these single fathers, we've uncovered policies keeping single dads out of homeless shelters. we've exposed child care failures causing millions of families to fall through the cracks, and we already prompted some change. two cities have ended their crime free housing programs. one that compared criminals to weeds, said it was a direct result of our reporting. candice: and we met a lot of fathers who are still back where brandon, mike, and john were not long ago, strugglin

hi, john. >> john: i'm john roberts in washington. governor kemp ripping into major league baseball's decision to move the all-star game to colorado, punishment for georgia's new voting law. the governor blasting the league for caving to critics who he says are spreading misinformation. >> it's almost comical, all of these hits that are coming from metro areas of 61% of african-americans and metro areas splits 10% african-american that has less early voting days then georgia has. i think these board members need to actually get the truth about what's in the bill and have a process work. and it's the little guy. >> it will cost georgia potentially tens of millions in tourism cash and while welcome america is celebrating all that, they may want to look at the facts. as a governor just mentioned, baseball move the game from atlanta to a city that is mostly white, john. >> john: on top that colorado does not check all of the boxes that progressives want but, and if you were voting by mail for the first time you need to provide a photocopy

we are working with preservation virginia to preserve john marshall's robe so i was a john marshall center.org or savetherobe.com. >> we have a couple pictures of the robe itself i do believe it called us up to look at. as for looking at the rope, you talk about marshall standardizing these things, where did john marshall come down or not wearing a wig on the bench? >> [laughter] that was the big question right? i want to say cushing or once and then he went home and took it off. it did not really catch. so the wig was kind of a little aristocratic. these things really did make a difference in people were paying attention. i think he wore a simple black robe which he took from the virginia court at the time was really a gesture toward a kind of republican simplicity and impartiality. and in some ways the outreach the jeffersonian. the election of 1800 was pretty terrible. so marshall took the bench and 1801 in black robes that meant something. >> was at the robe he was wearing when he sworn jefferson? >> [laughter] the curate of trip the curator and you must be factual about that and say that

good to see you and john. the numbers are up all across the board, apprehensions, detentions, those are the obvious ones that we have been standing here and telling you about, but the groups of migrants traveling together are also getting larger according to the officials on the ground here as are the requests being made or local law enforcement, taking them away from their normal duties help out federal agencies. here in eagle pass for example, about 29,000 officers assisting on things like medical calls, high-speed chases, foot pursuits, rescues, and even the rating of staff houses. >> sporadic here and there, the last several months has been somewhat overwhelming, but it's coming up, it's an everyday situation now. >> the latest tally from both dhs and hhs show us now that more than 18,000 migrant children are currently in federal custody. >> sandra: casey stegall, thank you. >> john: our next guest recently visited the overcrowded migrant facility in texas. we showed you the confrontation he had without ad

thank you. >> thank you, john. >> sandra: thank you, john. the derek chopin verdict is just one part of the -- not only is there potential appeal to consider, but three former officers are still waiting to go on trial. let's bring in our panel. welcome to both of you. how will this affect those three officers who have yet to go to trial? >> number one, it is going to be a problem because whenever you have the court of public opinion -- in this case, the court of public opinion now includes the highest elected official of our country -- can anybody get a truly fair and impartial jury in this country, the next day and age, right now? that is the overarching question for me when we allow the court of public opinion to "peacefully protest" to send things to witness his doorsteps. he think that that doesn't infiltrate the people who are called upon to sit in that jury box? we have a problem, and we need to start looking at that. maybe this will be one of the benefits and good things that come from this particular case. >> sandra: did the words of

i first met john glenn in 1978. i was a member of the new class in 1970, bill bradley and a whole bunch of us came in in 78. i was on the train on the way over to the u.s. capital for some signing had's and the only person on the train that night -- pushcart as we call it was a john glenn. i sat by him, we talked all the way and if you ask me if one person asked me, -- i can tell you. i didn't know what this was about. nor did i know one a long-standing friendship i would be bonding at that particular moment. being, the guy i had watched on tv, you know, there's no armstrong, they're joined than, and down here somewhere, there's me. and he's coming out. and to see i didn't know what to say about me and he got on that stage and his opening line was, so can i just tell you how jealous i am off this woman? and just went on in his affable humorous way. he she had she said she has had north bay's tire flight experience in her first with that i had to buy or carry. there's john leni building mile to his hometown objects a

and this is a early 1830s portrait of john marshall. so he's older than you may be used to to seeing him was appalled by all of this marshall wrote to dabney carr humanity must be wail the course, which is pursued elsewhere in a letter if memory serves to frailing house and with him, he was in contact during the removal debates he described the effort of the southern states as something like the unholy combination of unrighteous power and i have to say i think that part of the reason he was so upset must have been that he felt partly to blame for it. because he's the one who had handed george of the tool to independently start initiating the ouster of the cherokee nation by claiming rights as a landlord to impose its laws and that provided incentive for the tribes to leave etc. i think that got thrown in his face very soon after all of this started in fact the same month the treaty of dancing rabbit creek was signed with the chickasaws the richmond inquirer published the full text of a georgia judicial opinion the organizational the geo

our guest reporter is john hendel. of "politico" brendan: this goes back to a trip to the mississippi delta and a small town. i met a woman there about two years ago who was using telehealth to treat diabetes and she saw remarkable results. for years, the fcc supported the build out of high-speed communications to hospitals, but we have played a role supporting telehealth delivered to a patient in their home and she was doing that. we took that example and stood up a nationwide connective care program, so that every american potentially has the chance to get in home telehealth service. i describe it as the health care equivalent of shifting from lackluster video to netflix, you don't have to go to a brick and mortar facility to get care. we had no import -- we had no idea two years ago how important this would be before covid. these are things we have to maintain and build on. john: we see a mix of money coming from congress on telehealth and the $7.1 billion or so potentially helping the fcc support or purchase wi-fi

john q. american here, who is particularly wrapped up in that cuban revolution. he doesn't really understand what happened in cuba back in january of 1959. despite the fact that no other person on this planet has a greater number or a variety of ways to read about, hear about, see about, and know about things, the tons of news print that he's read through and the untold hours of air time that he's listened to about turmoil everywhere around him for years, none of that prepared him for today's cuba. he's confused, particularly so because, like thousands of other americans, he's been to cuba. as a matter of fact, he was there vacationing only a few weeks before that scene you saw on the screen a moment ago happened in havana. when he was there, there wasn't much to suggest to him that things would go as they have gone in that island country. what john q. american didn't see in cuba when he was there and what happened in cuba is tonight's "cuba: the battle of america." ♪♪ main street in almo

>> no, john. i do have concerns with our troops on the frontlines, but you have to remind them, what did they sign up for? they signed up to protect and serve. and you also have to remind them that the majority of citizens in houston and around the nation respect and honor police officers. have you to remind them, don't get caught up in the negative noise. understand what is going on. understand that people of color, communities of color, are hurting. we have to be honest with them. we have to give value to their perceptions, to their life experiences, but their perception is their reality. our perception is our reality. it is not until you slow down and give value to that, start to communicate and talk about those tough things, and it's when you do that, that's when you build bridges. that's what we need to be doing in our nation. get away from the negative, and understand there is a problem, and we have to address it. and we're going to address it together as a nation. >> dickerson: so what are

of the 2 brothers being the major political figure more and let's bring john in john listening to that cuba has been undergoing political change for the last 10 years said the ambassador and now there is greater perhaps scope for discussion of change how excited are you. unfortunately not terribly excited and if we see what's taking place with dissidents one example is the santa syndrome movement the 27 n. movement that has been experiencing some severe repression over the last few months not much real gentlemen heard in various us into the protests in november by well started at least and the requests and also and also the agreement and also an agreement initially with the minister of culture for a dialogue which was then broken by the minister and i actually ended up physically assaulting some of these demonstrators a couple months later but to the ambassador's point of a transition what's been taking place has been a succession 1st from fidel to raul castro and i believe it may not be formal this time but a succession from raul castro to a new generation of castro leaders most promi

>> governor: i'm worried, john. we've seen our vaccination rate go down about half of what it was three weeks ago, so that's a concern. but we've vaccinated about 40% -- at least for the first shot -- 40% of our total population. we just need to continue to move forward. if you look at those 65 and ov over, we're over 75%. but the game is not over yet. i'm concerned about it. i know one of the things that we're doing is now we're reaching out to businesses and providing for vaccinations directly in businesses. we're doing the same thing in our colleges. and the same thing in our high schools. gove.rht. to be morve. thanyou. got to aggressive and move on. thank you, governor. we appreciate it. we go now to congrom val demmings of florida, who is also the former police chief of orlando. good morning, congresswoman. >> good morning, john. >> dickerson: george floyd justice in policing act, it has passed the house. the president wants it to move in the senate. i read in the papers there is progress. is there any progres

john? >> some states looking to ban the teaching of critical race theories and schools across the state. we will keep following ness. mike, thank you. >> thanks, john. how is president biden going to sound is next to $1.8 trillion spending plan? he will be addressing the joint congress tonight. to pay for his big proposal, the president is doubling down on tax hikes for certain americans, including raising the capital gains tax and infusing $80 billion into the irs to help them crackdown on tax basis by some of the highest earners. let's bring in our panel. he is president for america's tax reform. robert wolf as well. welcome to both of you. hoping to have a constructive conversation or debate, if you will about what we are going to hear tonight. how does he pitch this to the american people? there are a lot of zeros behind his plans. >> i think it is big. it is both. a lot of these things we need. whether we can pass something that is more of a 4 trillion that is infrastructure, jobs, the

miami john suarez executive director of the center for a free cuba welcome to all if i could start with carlos so does the change in leadership ambassador carlos mean a greater chance now of political change in the country. well i think it's you have to understand that this change in leadership has been going on for more than 10 years since the old castro to go over us president the 1st secretary of the queue in communist party he announced there would be a transition from what i call a generational to rescission of power there have been changes in a number of things for example the there is a new hue and constitution that was approved in 2019 which changed the system towards a more collective leadership kind of system but it remains basically the socially stipe of system with a single party and and. basic control of food the political process by the cuban communist party but we have now a broader democratic debates on cuba it's a better fact all the main documents are today existing and this side and said the pattern over cuba is moving where broadly discussed by the cuban says and shi

peter: let's bring john hendel from politico into the conversation. john: thank you. i would like to talk about new ways broadband is being talked about the past year or so. we have heard new emphasis on infrastructure debates, a lot about digital equity, the adoption of other things, and one thing that struck me when looking over the white house proposal was how much they talked about broadband prices. you have that prominently listed in the plan and you have seen recent interviews with national economic council officials where they talked about u.s. broadband prices, one said they were $30, $40, $50 higher than europe. i wonder what you think of these concerns about broadband pricing, and how the u.s. is doing in that department, is that something that strikes you as a concern or that worries you? if so, what does that mean? brendan: i'm very concerned about talking points out of the white house on the issue. the biden infrastructure plan on broadband clearly puts price controls on the table. and when you look at the work left to bridge the digital divide, the billi

john, thank you. so we have a high wind advisory for the bay bridge as you're driving this morning, just want to be safe and also won. >> for the altamonte pass under 9 minutes, though, free to make it to the fremont street exit. so conditions look great. also head over look at the san mateo bridge heading across towards the peninsula there under 10 minutes for your drive time. no high wind advisories are major delays. we'll have more on your commutt and drive times coming up. but for now, back to the news. and a developing story in use of force expert says derek chauvin use deadly force on george floyd. he was one of 5 people who testified yesterday. craig treadway has a look what happened in the courtroom. >> creates los angeles police department use of force expert sergeant jody stiger testified didn't want to. george floyd was in handcuffs on his stomach. officers should have stopped using force because of the time of their strength period. >> mister floyd was not resisting. he was in in the prone

john? >> john: thanks. republicans say democratic congress woman maxine waters was reckless when she told protesters that they need to be more confrontational. the judge says her comments could give the defense grounds to overturn the trial. congresswoman waters said the judge said her word don't matter. let's listen to the judge. he was pretty frank about this. listen here. >> congress woman waters may have given you something on apile that may result in this whole trial being overturned. i wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, it's specially in a manner disrespectful to the rule of law and the judicial branch and our function. >> john: if there was a conviction or verdict that convicted chauvin in this trial, that would be an epic fail on her part for saying this. >> big time. the judge was pretty clear. you're right. he said that she may have handed the defense the piece of evidence, the piece of an appeal that would be very strong. that is that the jury saw that. now you add to this

good to talk to you, john.— to talk to you, john. before we talk about the individual kinds of contests, do you have a big thought you can inject into us before we start discussing all of this? i think we can discuss what might be a good if the government and what might be a good day for the labor party. are good if the government will eight points or so leading, as factored in the results of the local elections, but would be probably net gain for the conservatives in those elections, governments rarely manage that in those elections, they hang onto most of the matter as including west midlands. maybe the by—election, that could be a bubble. and north of the border, if nicola sturgeon fails to get majority, conservatives hung on to second place, the uk government in london feels like it should try to keep the scottish constitutional issues in touch. it should be a good session for labour? well, they're doing better in opinion polls at the moment, they seem to be doing better than jeremy corbyn moment, they seem to be doing better t

why would he be looking for such a pardon, john? >> well, it was a clever maneuver, but not quite clever enough to get past the white house and the president. first of all, alisyn, let me just say congratulations on escaping the berman force field and getting to the civilized hours of the afternoon which is where i will see you going forward. look, matt gaetz was in big trouble in 2020. an investigation that was launched by donald trump's justice department under bill barr. he was trying to protect himself. and it didn't work. and donald trump is somebody who has an eye on his own personal bottom line. he did pardon some people who had committed financial crimes, who were supporters of his, and he wants to reward his supporters. but the issue of potential sex crimes involving children is something altogether different and don't know whether or not these discussions ever reached donald trump, but certainly the white house aides understood that this was a radioactive request and didn't get anywhere. >> and again, we don't know for sur

john ross quite an amazing person. stand weighed i will mention this in a minute, one of the most stubborn cherokee's that have ever been more. this man was a confederate general and he kept fighting the war effort after it was over. he didn't surrender. there is a streak of stubbornness among some cherokee's but not you jack, not you or i, we are quite reasonable gentlemen. but there is, and so these represent two factions that would carry through, and to get to the civil war, which is being mentioned. now the cherokee people were split concerning the civil war and some of those reasons probably had something to do with what split the united states. there was slavery in the cherokee nation before and after removal. i want to talk to you a little bit more about the institution of slavery in a bit, but that surely was a difference. but there were other things that split charities apart on the civil war. john ross wanted to stay neutral, and he urged his people and his counsel states a neutral. why did he do? it because

the sound of ripening corn makes john fox feel confident. it makes him eager to clear the grounds for larger panties. it is not easy this clearing of the wilderness. it is not easy removing the stones from the rocky new england soil but it makes a difference when you are building something new. jason here, preparing the roof of the bark wigwam at a far more comfortable house in dorchester, england, but this is a new home in the new land. it makes for a difference quickly. albert sims who harvests and grows his own tobacco, takes much satisfaction in the small crop with the plantations of virginia far down to the coast in the south. thus in the field and in the home and settlers carrying on day in and day out. the scant food supply must be carefully doled out and will -- they are fashioned by hand for candles. even when the long day's work is done, there may be heavy burdens to bear but there is faith and gratitude. >> our father, it has pleased thee to set us upon this shore for thy bountiful providence have grounded us shelter in our daily

hello john. >> john: hello sandra, i'm john roberts in washington. the shooting happened at a fedex facility at an indianapolis airport and several people are being treated in the hospital for injuries. they say it's too soon to identify the gunman who reportedly didn't talk to anyone before opening fire. >> there was no confrontation with anyone that was there, no disturbance or argument, he just appeared to randomly start shooting. >> sandra: bryan llenas is following this for us at this hour. brian, what do we know? >> the metropolitan police say the shooter arrived at the fedex facility, got out of his car and started just shooting just after 11:00 p.m. last night. in just 2 minutes a menace to kill eight people, including for people outside of the fedex operations center and then for others outside of the facility before shooting himself. five people were transferred to the hospital and four had nonfatal gunshot wounds. the fbi is searching the home of the person they believe is the shooter and police have not identified him nor have they given

john's church. a lot of people think that was a quote that wirt made up because it sounded like something henry said, if he had thought to. but that's the first appearance of that quote for patrick henry. here is another sort of trivial piece on wirt. the story i always heard as an indian lawyer and law prof was wirt represented the cherokee nation for free. so, this was a principle thing. i mentioned that to one of chief hoskins' predecessors, chad smith, one time and he said, actually, we've got his bill, so that story may -- anyway, we'll see. but there -- so, that may not be true either. history. okay. so wirt teamed up with a guy named john sergeant, who was a frequent appearer before the supreme court, and filed this case in the supreme court. and his theory was, and this is where the case will be argued, georgia doesn't show, his theory was that the federal courts had jurisdiction and had original jurisdiction, which meant he didn't need to go up through the lower federal courts before he wen
