Summary

President Biden’s previous plan to combat crime by tightening the reins on gun sales and empowering the DOJ to target firearm traffickers has got a major update. He suggested states use $350 billion from the COVID relief plan to hire more police officers and strengthen crime prevention programs. Democratic state representatives from Texas went to Washington D.C. to break quorum and apply more federal pressure to pass voting rights legislation. A great escape like this hasn’t happened since 2003 when Democrats were stopping a redistricting proposal, and it’s unclear how Republicans might retaliate in this current case. And in headlines: Cubans protest for food and vaccines, England’s Black soccer players face racism, and Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence’s kids are Instagram-official.

0:35.6	On today's show, Texas Democrats flee the state to try to stop voter restrictions from
0:39.5	passing. Plus we'll have headlines.
0:41.8	But first, the leanest.
0:43.4	We recognize that we have to come together for the first responsibility of democracy.
0:48.2	That to keep each other safe.
0:50.6	And that's what the American people are looking for when it comes to reducing violent crime
0:55.6	and gun violence.
0:56.6	And I think this group is illustrative of what we need to get put together.
1:03.2	So that's President Biden yesterday presiding over a meeting with people like Attorney General
1:07.7	Merrick Garland, New York Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams and more to pitch his planned
1:12.7	attack on crime and gun violence.
1:14.4	Yeah, and it's a plan that he introduced late last month, which included empowering the
1:18.1	ATF to better track guns that flow across state lines and funding community programs.
1:22.8	But what appears to be new for yesterday is that Biden also wants to refund the police?
