Shownotes Transcript

The District Attorney of Pasquotank, NC, declares deputies were “justified” in killing Andrew Brown Jr. because he used his car as a “deadly weapon” – a conclusion that directly contradicts the family’s insistence that Brown posed no threat to officers.

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy now says he’ll oppose legislation to form a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Capitol insurrection. He complains the bipartisan deal is “short-sighted” because it doesn’t address political violence beyond the January 6th attack.

And President Biden tells Prime Minister Netanyahu he supports an Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire but stops short of calling for one, as intense violence in Israel and Gaza continues for a ninth straight day.

 

Today's panelists: CNN's Abby Phillip and The Daily Beast’s Jackie Kucinich

Also on the program: CNN’s Manu Raju and Ben Wedeman, and Dr. William Moss from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
