speaker, i rise today as i've done for my entire career, from north carolina, from the north carolina house to the u.s. house in support of equal pay for equal work. it's 2021. women are still subject to unequal, unfair compensation in the workplace. this truth, this wage group, is at its worst for women of color, black women, for example, earn an average of 63 cents on the dollar compared to men. this issue persists in nearly every line of work regardless of education o, experience, or occupation or industry or job title. if you don't believe that data, take it from me, i lived it. the paycheck fairness act is an opportunity for congress to strengthen the equal pay act, to bolster the rights of working women and to put an end to the gender based wage disparity once and for all. we cannot continue to rob nearly half of our nation's work force of the wages they deserve, nor can we continue to force women to work far more to be paid fairly. mr. speaker i also wish to submit for the record a letter from the national partnership for women and families in support of h.r. 7. i yield back. t

i'm not an expert in the history of african americans in north carolina. my comments are a little broader, but i was thinking very deeply to brother mckinney's questions and comments that really got me réz■a wf stuff. makes me want to go back to read the book myself. in the meticulously well researched book, the multi faceted life as a point of departure for exploring the possibilities of what black leadership entailed in the jim crow -- mainly north carolina and more specifically in durham. when first scholarship contributes to several overlapping historiography's and historical sub fields that professor mckinney pointed out, including black business history, african american history in north carolina, african american biography, like political history. history of the black south and the history of the civil rights movement. i thoroughly enjoyed winford's book. when i would classify as being and intellectual and political biography of wheeler. a man who wore many different hats. he was a president of a black band. an indicator. a politician and power -

there is no transparency in north carolina. i hope that president biden, vice president harris, were tuned in to hear that. and i hope right now they're on the phone with the doj to say, we've got a problem in north carolina. get on it. that was just unbelievable to hear. and think about the ripples across the united states, and we're starting to see a pattern. we're seeing a pattern with this. a drug warrant -- the war on drugs is still alive in certain areas. oh, we went to get him and something happened. they did something wrong. look at breonna, look at mr. brown now. it is -- it's just nonstop across the united states. we've got to get aggressive. and if it takes lawyers like mr. crump and others to get in this and make it happen, we need to support it because this, what we just heard, is just -- it's enough. >> commissioner, even with the snippet, as ben crump called t even with those 20 seconds, it sounds damning. what the attorneys described, the 20 seconds they were allowed to see, they said andrew brown had his hands

north carolina national guard, lt. colonel david wallacer coordinated vaccine nights with state and local health officials across the state and helped organize the federally supported site in greensboro and he said no great achievement is achieved alone. colonel wallacer knew with all of us working together we could get more people vaccinated. and of course, there are endless stories of our heroic frontline health workers who fought this pandemic tirelessly with courage and compassion. one of these is a nurse and manager at north carolina medical center in newberg. she had the double challenge of caring from her parents and her staff from ppe shortages, caring for dying patients, supporting her staff members who were working long hours amid their own sacrifices, she kept things running and kept people safe. nikisha, felicia, david, custom furnishing, parkdale mills, and so many other people and companies in our state stepped up and i am so grateful to all of them. and now, it's time for us to step up. the elected leade

north carolina ranks low among states and job loss per capita. we saved lives are in the pandemic and deployed vaccines to bring our economy on strong. we are doing at the right way. almost half of our states adults have had at least the first shot of vaccine. almost 40% are fully vaccinated. we are doing even better than our 65 and over population with over 77% with at least one shot. more than 72% fully vaccinated. that is remarkable. every dose is another person saved. another family closer to immunity. finkel mortgage over did this together. our future success as a state depends on us getting healthcare. on the north carolina council for healthcare coverage. we unanimously agreed. some were straightforward, get more people covered with health insurance. make people healthier. use tax dollars wisely. others were more complicated, make healthcare more fair, reach our rural areas. the opportunity to do all of these things is there if we expand medicaid. and circumstances about medicaid expansion have changed dramatically since we debated it in t

speaker, i rise today as i've done for my entire career, from north carolina, from the north carolina house to the u.s. house in support of equal pay for equal work. it's 2021. women are still subject to unequal, unfair compensation in the workplace. this truth, this wage group, is at its worst for women of color, black women, for example, earn an average of 63 cents on the dollar compared to men. this issue persists in nearly every line of work regardless of education o, experience, or occupation or industry or job title. if you don't believe that data, take it from me, i lived it. the paycheck fairness act is an opportunity for congress to strengthen the equal pay act, to bolster the rights of working women and to put an end to the gender based wage disparity once and for all. we cannot continue to rob nearly half of our nation's work force of the wages they deserve, nor can we continue to force women to work far more to be paid fairly. mr. speaker i also wish to submit for the record a letter from the national partnership for women and families in support of h.r. 7. i yield back. t

this is east of north carolina. this is the south. that is why we must pay a lot of attention to this and understand what is going on here. because this case is about andrew brown, about the south, and it could break open some things in the south. the most restrictive laws and it comes to policing, some of the most egregious things that have happened have happened in these southern, small, rural counties. juan: i'm wondering, in the wake of the guilty verdict for derek chauvin and after now nearly a year of massive protests all around the country in terms of black lives matter, your sense of these killings continue to happen as if these police departments are not listening to the massive outcry not only in the african-american community, but among people of color and people of goodwill everywhere -- your thoughts about what is happening right now in terms of law enforcement in the country? >> it makes everybody unsafe. mixed lack, white, native, asian, gay, straight, young, old. that is one thing people understand, a systemic problem

the country. 40 counties in north carolina were targeted by the voting rights act. it was 60 counties not included. mississippi, alabama, georgia -- the entire state was included, but north carolina, it was 40 counties. according to the u.s. commission on civil rights, from 1982 2013, the department of justice issued over 50 objection letters. over 50 objection letters regarding proposed election law changes in north carolina, including quite a few since the year 2000. my question is, has the loss of preclearance made it more difficult to track changes at the local level that could have a discriminatory effect on voters? >> it absolutely has. one of the things that we were able to monitor was precinct closures. there are 100 counties in north carolina and for us to be able to monitor that effectively and efficiently, in order to intervene in time, we have to go county by county or submit public records requests. it is onerous and we are missing opportunities to protect voters, in the meantime. >> the time and expense has exponentially increased. litigation can be ti

but what people should also know about eastern north carolina is people in north carolina, they might be slow. but when we move, we would take deep root, and we stand. some of the strongest work came out of eastern north carolina. so this fight will occur. the people will be nonviolent. but they will be vigilant. they will be vigilant. and we're going get to the bottom of this in this county. this cannot stand. this young man, seven children, two grown, five minors, he is a nephew, he is an uncle, he is a son. 42 years old, shot in the back, shot in the back. this is something that cannot stand and it won't stand. we must put pressure on the sheriff and the d.a. lastly, joy, you should know, i talked to the attorney general of the state along with dr. spearmon. you should know this. the d.a. right now, brother crump knows this as well, could call the state attorney general just like they did in minnesota and say take this case. now north carolina, the local has to ask for it. the state can't take it from him. but the local d.a. could right now say this is too messy. we messed it up. g

even when in 2016 the fourth circuit found that the north carolina -- found the north carolina legislature guilty of racial discrimination when it, among other things, to early voting's, and mechanism of access black voters diss proportionately rely on, the legislature -- early voting, a mechanism of access black voters diss proportionately rely on, now in 2021, they are trying to restrict executive officials' ability to act to protect access to early voting. lastly, i would be remiss if i didn't address the important redistricting processes that will be happening across the country later this year. for as long as we have been redrawing electoral district lines, redistricting has been a tool used to dilute in silence the voices of voters of color. this is the first redistricting cycle in decades where those voters won't have the protections of section five of the voting rights act. as i detailed in my written comments, last redistricting cycle, the north carolina general assembly passed numerous state and local redistricting plans that violated the constitution or were inconsistent with se

she's right here from elizabeth city, north carolina. and not only is she a great lawyer, she is the attorney who had been representing andrew brown jr. and his family even before this tragedy happened, and she knew them. so this is very personal, this is very painful. she was tasked with the responsibility to watch whatever video they were going to allow us to see, even though we didn't know it was going to be 20 second snippet. she watched it and she documented it, over and over again to make sure she could relate to you all what happened. so when you heard from the family, you didn't have to rely solely on them because their heart was breaking as they watched the video. in fact, patrice had to run out the room, couldn't take it. thank god, kalil, he stood there, represented his family as they watched that video 10 to 20 times. knowing every time it ended with them executing his father. >> 20 seconds. >> 20 seconds. attorney lassiter will now tell you, shawn tell lassiter will now tell you what the video demonstrated. and she may refer

this is eastern north carolina. this is the south. we've had -- i could talk all day about problems we've had in the south. i can talk about -- i won't go into it. but this sheriff what he just did with that is actually not the truth. he could quickly get that answer last week. he and the d.a. could go to the judge, they could take the steps. the tape could already be out, and at the very least the family and the family's counsel could have already seen these tapes. if it happened in columbus, ohio, it could happen in north carolina. that's a cover-up. that's a stall. we need to see the tapes. we need to see the tapes now. >> we'll have to leave it there. bishop william barber, thank you so much for being here, and we will pay close attention to see if that tape is released on monday. thank you so much, reverend. >>> tomorrow watch the show tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. >>> still to come, how can we reform policing to prevent more deaths at the hands of police like george floyd's? we'll dig into that a bit later on. >>> plus

but we start with that breaking news down in north carolina. any moment now attorneys for the family of andrew brown jr. will be holding a press conference to announce the results of an independent autopsy in his death. north carolina sheriff's deputies shot and killed brown last week while serving a warrant, but after seeing heavily redacted body camera footage of his death, brown's loved ones say it looked more like a, quote, execution. let's go to north carolina now, again, as we await the start of this news conference surrounding andrew brown jr.'s death. catie beck is waiting for that press conference to start as well on the ground in elizabeth city. we're also joined by msnbc's legal analyst, a former prosecutor, and the chair of the african-american studies department at princeton, also an msnbc contributor. catie, my apologies first if we have to cut you off if this starts. what do we expect to hear from attorneys, from members of the family once the news conference does begin? >> reporter: well, craig, we just saw family members and at

., the black man shot and killed by sheriff's deputies in north carolina. it says brown died of a result of a, quote, penetrating gunshot wound to the head and died within minutes of being shot. the certificate calls brown's death a homicide, saying brown was shot by others. this comes as calls for the police body cam footage grow louder. attorneys for the brown family spoke just moments ago at a press conference. >> i was told by the district attorney -- i was told by the district attorney that the family would get to see the raw footage, not the redacted version. these county administrators are walking back the promises they made. show the tape. if you ain't got nothing to hide, show the tape. >> let's go live right now to north carolina and cnn's natasha chen joins us in elizabeth city. explain exactly how we got here and where things stand right now. >> reporter: right, ana, you just mentioned the death certificate that was obtained by our colleagues brian todd and producer devon sayers, and just to repeat, this is very new information compared to the 9

this is eastern north carolina. this is the south. we've had -- i could talk all day about problems we've had in the south. i can talk about -- i won't go into it. but this sheriff what he just did with that is actually not the truth. he could quickly get that answer last week. he and the d.a. could go to the judge, they could take the steps. the tape could already be out, and at the very least the family and the family's counsel could have already seen these tapes. if it happened in columbus, ohio, it could happen in north carolina. that's a cover-up. that's a stall. we need to see the tapes. we need to see the tapes now. >> we'll have to leave it there. bishop william barber, thank you so much for being here, and we will pay close attention to see if that tape is released on monday. >> say his name, andrew brown. >> thank you so much, reverend. >>> tomorrow we speak to chuck schumer and ask when we can expect the george floyd justice in policing act to come up for a vote. >>> still to come, how can we reform policing to prevent more

in elizabeth city, north carolina. behind him is the family's attorney as well, who spoke a bit earlier. we are supposed to be hearing from the family as we are awaiting that. i want to bring my panel back into the conversation to talk through some of the things that have been mentioned just in the last couple of minutes or so. marq claxton and glenn kirschner with me. i want to talk about the circumstances that we know of, the circumstances that we know of. the family's attorney calling this an unjustifiable homicide as he mentioned in that press conference. the circumstances that we know. he was being served a warrant, andrew brown jr. he had a history of fleeing from law enforcement. but the family's lawyer, as he mentioned, and other witnesses have said that he was unarmed, and he was, in fact, fleeing the scene, and he was, in fact, shot in the back. what is the policy in responding to a situation like this? >> well, let me just start off, yasmin, by saying that i have great difficulty in placing any validity on t

that's all north carolina will allow for the shooting video of andrew brown. that was only for brown's family. we, however, have gotten footage citizen footage that shows officers crowded around of police surrounding brown's stopped car. here it is. it's not much, but it's better than nothing. >> i'm right here. >> it's the cops. you can't call the cops on the feds. >> they shot him? >> yeah. >> now, obviously that is -- those are a couple neighbors talking. that is her present-sense impression of what happened. why is that important? literally we are craving context here. you see the officers around the car. what's interesting about this video is they're showing commands. the question is to whom? because brown may have already been dead by one of the many bullets fired at him while the 42-year-old was trying to drive away from police after they served arrest and search warrants. the family and the community deserve to know more five days after the fact. >> we only saw a snippet of the video. this family was disrespected. >> i've never been talked to like i wa

brian todd is in elizabeth city, north carolina. brian, what does this other video shows if anything? >> well, jim and poppy, we are familiar with this video. we have spoken to that neighbor and several other neighbors:. some of whom who witnessed what happened a week ago tomorrow. it shows the aftermath, the immediate aftermath of the shooting of andrew brown. you can see andrew brown's car, a distance away. it's across a grassy area and then across the street, roanoke avenue. he drove across that grassy area. you see his car crashed against a tree. we spoke to the gentleman who owns that white house next to that tree. that gentleman told us that a bullet from the shooting ripped through his house and thankfully no one was there. witnesses told us that at about that time you are looking at this video, sheriff's deputies pulled andrew brown out of the vehicle and attempted life saving measures on him. obviously, the measures did not work. so we have that video to talk about. but also, of course, the operative video that everyone is

i thank the gentleman from north carolina. to his point there is a broader discussion that has to take place, but the purpose of this bill is a public safety purpose. it is a purpose to get people from being killed, from being robbed, from being assaulted. and that is within the financial services arena because at this point the cannabis industry and the people that serve it in one way or another have to deal in cash, which attracts, really creates the potential for the robberies, for the murders, for the assaults. and so we have been able to gather a lot of support from this. i mentioned the bankers and the credit unions and the insurance industry, the cannabis industry, obviously, the real estate industry, the armored cars, law enforcement. law enforcement is in -- is supportive of this. the minority cannabis industry. we have the national treasurer's association. 21 governors, attorneys general because they know this is a public safety matter. and we really need to address it. we have been working on it for some time, as th

>> the north carolina law. that's why i filed the petition, to get this ball rolling because it's best for the community, the office and the brown family. that's what we're going to do. we're kind of late. i need to get in here. >> how many cameras actually shot video? >> everything. >> were there five different angles, was there one? >> i'm not sure right now. i know we have more than one. we're waiting for the investigation to unfold and we're really close. >> is the d.a. on board? >> the d.a. wanted to -- he didn't want to hinder the investigation. he didn't want to release it so he could do his full investigation. i'm past that point. i want to put it out. >> thank you, sheriff. >> we'll be back. >> sheriff, was it an execution like the family says? >> the word execution is -- i would say that kind of inflames everybody. no, i don't agree with the word execution. >> reporter: so there you go. during this hearing, the county district attorney said he would not like to see this video released at least for 30

that's all north carolina will allow for the shooting video of andrew brown. that was only for brown's family. we, however, have gotten footage of police surrounding brown's stopped car. here it is. it's not much, but it's better than nothing. >> i'm right here. >> it's the cops. you can't call the cops on the feds. >> they shot him? >> yeah. >> now, obviously that is -- those are a couple neighbors talking. that is her present-sense impression of what happened. why is that important? literally we are craving context here. you see the officers around the car. what's interesting about this video is they're showing demdem commands. the question is to whom? because brown may have already been dead by one of the many bullets fired at him while the 42-year-old was trying to drive away from police after they served arrest and search warrants. the family and the community deserve to know more five days after the fact. >> we only saw a snippet of the video. this family was disrespected. >> i've never been talked to like i was talked to in there. mr. cox told me, a gro

at this hour, the focus is on elizabeth city, north carolina. a state of emergency is declared not because of a natural disaster but because the city is bracing. five days after andrew brown jr. was shot by sheriff's deputies, his family may finally view the body cam video of the moment deputies killed him. the family is set to meet with city officials at any moment. we could hear from his family afterward and their attorneys. that is why the city is bracing at this hour. up until now, there have been very few detaulils released. the most information released comes from emergency dispatch audio from the scene. listen to this. >> we got one male, 14 years of age. gunshot to the back. >> and that is basically all we know right now. and that is all the family knows right now. and has been told in the past five days. that's likely to change very soon. so let's go there. natasha chen is standing by in elizabeth city. what is the latest? >> yes, kate, the body may see this body footage camera privately, these folks are calling for it to be released pu

they've not gotten back to us. >> brian todd on the scene for us in north carolina. let's discuss with the attorney ben crump. he represents andrew brown's family and the families of other high profile police shooting victims including breonna taylor and george floyd. walk us through what the family saw in those 20 seconds of video and why they believe this was, in their words, an execution. >> you know, wolf, again, we see an unarmed black man executed by the police in the most inexplicable manner. the police told him to put his hands where they could see them. he had his hands on the steering wheel. we were told that the family would get to see the video of what happened, the body cam video. there were seven to eight officers on the scene. we only saw one body cam video. the video started and it was only for 20 seconds. the video started and they were already firing. so we never saw what led up to the video. we did see that andrew brown used evasive actions to try to get away from the police, and they all had glocks and assault weapons shooting at him. you could he

we've been successful in states like north carolina. our biggest tool would be for congress to pass hr 1 which is now s 1, the for the people act that would do away with , outla partisan gerrymandering, define what it is and give us another tool to make the system fair. let me be clear, i'm not trying to gerrymander for democrats. i just want it to be fair, because if it's fair, democrats will do just fine. republicans want to cheat. they're okay being a minority party that has majority power. >> i'll be worried if the cyber ninjas get involved in the redistricting process. if you hear the word cyber ninjas, you have a problem, mr. ag. the facts here, help me understand the context. 38% of districts are controlled exclusively by neither party. they're either independent commissions or split partisan control. gop controls 43% otherwise, democrats only 17. but states where republican control only added two seats. so what do all those numbers mean? >> well, it means that the process, it might seem a little stark, 43 to 17. but the reality

i was a reporter at the newspaper in raleigh north carolina when they found it, the founders died that was the first time i had heard of it. it was such a fascinating concept to me to make clear what was described to me, he described as an all-black city they were attempting to build the came to learn that was not the case, it was never intended to be all-black, i think it was intended to be predominantly black, designed the people of all race and would be a multiracial community. the main goal is to provide economic equality and opportunity and empowerment for african-americans. that idea when i heard about it was so compelling, fallacious, that's a word everyone i spoke to was involved, how audacious this division was. people off 5000 acres of farmland as you described it and a driving city of 50000 people in a matter of a few decades that vision i was struck by and i were really wanted to learn more about it unfortunately at that time in the 90s, you couldn't just sit on the computer and quickly google something and learn about so i filed it in the back of my head and then in 2014 w

how is that not happening in north carolina? >> joy, i've read this law several times, and it's pretty byzantine and confusing, and as you say, vague, but there are two things that jumped out at me. one is that if the family member of a decedent, somebody who was killed by the police, makes a written request of the law enforcement community, then the law enforcement community has the discretion to show some of the tape. but here's the thing. they get to decide what is, quote, relevant for the family to see. how did they decide only 20 of the last seconds of edward brown jr.'s life was relevant for the family to see. here's the second provision, joy, because i don't buy the sheriff's department saying, oh, we need a court order, we have no authority. subsection f says that the law enforcement agency can file an expedited request to get it released promptly. guess what? within hours of this incident, the sheriff's department could have petitioned the court and it could have been promptly released. they didn't do it, so they should

north carolina has different rules. but obviously it's been nearly a week now since this incident there. what is the likelihood that we will -- the public will get to see this footage any time soon? >> well, the public is a little different than the private showing. the fact that the private showing was given access to 20 seconds doesn't speak volumes about whether or not the public will get to see it. it's being reported the sheriff is concern if this is shown publicly. may be weeks to get to that point. as a minimum, the brown family could have gotten more than 20 seconds. i'm not sure why the sheriff decided to give access to that minimum period of time. i'll say this, jerry, it is up to the sheriff to make sure that all of the information, the documents, anything, the memo pads, the recordings, anything that was recorded with respect to the incident is absolutely kept in a way that it doesn't compromise the evidence in any way because you have to show chain of custody. so if you have evidence about this, obviously t

., and after days of largely peaceful protests on the streets of elizabeth city, north carolina, local officials have now decided that the best course of action is a curfew, a curfew that as we speak is being broken by the looks of it. just last night, andrew mccabe, our senior law enforcement analyst and a former top fbi official said this about some of the frankly baffling responses he has seen so far from some officials, most notably the county sheriff. it really defies logic, he said. the way they've handled this situation locally. this comes as another new video comes to light. last night we saw a clip of the immediate aftermath. tonight's footage, according to our source, shows county deputies arriving to serve an arrest warrant on brown. what the two videos have in common is neither come from the body cam of any of the deputies involved. despite repeated promise of transparency and accountability, officials have shown precisely none of that footage to the public. it only asks for a court order to do so yesterday. something our legal analysts tell us they could have easily done o

it's not just north carolina. it's not just ohio. it's not just new york. we know, sadly, there's so many families and communities that are still grieving because of what's been going on to individuals who have been killed by police officers, and so, yeah, i'm hoping that republican senators will think about what's for the good of the country and not just hyperpartisanship and not just what donald trump would want, but i think, honestly, as representative kelly said, time will tell and we have to see which republicans will have the courage to stand up and do what's best. >> david jolly, the good of the country but also what americans want, once and for all. look at some of the polling. policing in america from a "washington post" abc poll, 60% of americans saying more police accountability and yet there's a pushback, not even a vote yet in the senate. >> yeah, so, look, i think the baseline is most americans want greater accountability, greater transparency, and then the devil's in the details. and i think if that is where the focus lies, that the bill will
