12:00 am
if i sell this property for $1 billion, my commission will be $20 million. it's a big motivation, and we're ready to make that happen. see you monday. with shepard sm starts now america's single shot vaccine is back in action. i'm shepard smith. this is the news on cnbc a decision on the johnson & johnson vaccine. >> the covid vaccine is recommended for persons 18 years of age and older >> what it means in the race against the variants covid's damage that we can't see. >> nobody wants to stay isolated and all that >> the wave of anxiety and confronting pandemic ptsd. rethinking policing. react with intellect over survival instinct. >> i been there, man, i know how
12:01 am
you feel, bud. >> tonight, how to retrain the law and order brain. caitlin for governor the former olympian, reality tv star, announciing she's running for governor 60 years later ♪ over the rainbow ♪ the greatest night in showbiz history. >> announcer: live from cnbc the facts. the truth. the news with shepard smith. we begin tonight with breaking news. the pause on j&j's vaccine officially lifted just moments ago. the cdc and fda made the move after a panel of cdc advisers recommended the shot go back in rotation for all american adults the group also advises adding a warning about the small risk of an extremely rare blood clot so far, u.s. health officials
12:02 am
say they're aware of 15 cases out of nearly 8 million johnson & johnson shots administered nationwide the blood clots occurred only in women, most under the age of 50. three ofthem died and seven ar in hospitals ultimately the panel decided the benefits of the shot outweighed the risks of the blood clots today's vote comes as america's vaccine rollout appears to be stalling right now, the cdc reports we're averaging about 2.9 million shots in arms a day, which is down more than 11% from last week in a moment i'll speak with dr. peter hotez about restarting j&j's rollout and what it means for vaccine hesitancy. first, cnbc's meg tirrell breaking down the cdc recommendations. >> the vote was 10-4 with one abstention those who voted no weren't opposed to the use of the vaccine. it was a debate about how it
12:03 am
should start to be used again. a lot of the committee's discussion focused on the risk for women under age 50, because they appear to be at highest risk of this very rare clotting event after receiving the j&j vaccine. the 15 cases reported, all were women and 13 were under 50 years old. the committee found the risk of these clots for women in that age group was about seven per million compared with less than one per million for women over 50 overall, the committee found the benefits of the vaccine across all groups in preventing hospitalization and death from covid outweighed the risk of these clots. but there was discussion about flagging the risks, specifically for younger women, so they could choose another vaccine if available. now, local leaders like new york's mark levine are already anticipating having the only one-shot vaccine available again. >> it's a brand name which is well-known i've certainly talked to people who have told me they were waiting to get a vaccine until
12:04 am
j&j came back onto the market. >> now, levine said the vaccine is especially helpful for harder to reach populations, something we heard from the cdc panel today too. people experiencing homelessness, those who are homebound or incarcerated. the vaccine's information has already been updated by the fda, with notification of these events, which are rare but can be severe. and the panel noted they'll continue to assess the risk/benefit of the vaccine as we move through the pandemic, shep >> thank you, meg. dr. peter hotez now, co-director of vaccine development at texas children's hospital doctor, good to see you again. is this warning on the j&j vaccine enough in your estimation or would you like more >> shepard, that's why it wasn't unanimous. it almost fell short of a warning. it was more of there was going to be messaging in the package that young women should be aware that there is a higher risk of cerebral thrombosis. in reading through the comments
12:05 am
of the committee, there were four individuals, i think, who felt that it should have been a little bit stronger to say that the risk was greater, especially in women in their 20s and 30s, where the numbers were more like 11 or 12 per million, so about one in 80,000. again, still a really rare event, but that's where it kind of came down in terms of how strong should that language be, whether it's an outright warning or simply a statement of awareness. >> you know, doc, it looks like the bigger problem is really in demand the demand for these vaccines is dropping in places all over the country. louisiana asked for fewer doses because the interest is so low there, on and on as a trend, how dangerous is this >> remember, shepard, the bar is high if we're really going to stop virus transmission and vaccinate our way out of this epidemic, we have to get to 75, 80% of the
12:06 am
u.s. population vaccinated and remember, right off the top, we lose 20% because 20% of the population is under the age of 12 and the vaccines are not approved for use or authorized for use in kids under the age of 12 so we lose 20% right there so that means almost all of the adults and adolescents and if we've got segments of the population who are vaccine hesitant or are refusing the vaccine, that will prevent us from getting to where we need today. >> today, in new york, the museum of natural history gave out the vaccination, the iconic whale sporting a band-aid there. will gimmicks like this or is it just for fun >> it might help, and it is fun, so i don't see any downside to doing creative things like that. but we do have a lot of resistance now based on four national polls that have come out, one from monmouth university, quinnipiac
12:07 am
university, pbs news hour, and kaiser, all pointing to what they call republicans are the one group that's most vaccine hesitant, about 40 to 45% of republicans saying they may not take the vaccine or won't take the vaccine. and when you add up the numbers, that's about 10% of the adult population who identify themselves as republicans. that's where we've got to work harder, at reaching conservative groups i'm trying to go out and reach conservative news outlets, that we have to fix >> if they'll listen we know we can vaccinate our way out of this because we're seeing them do it in israel yesterday, not one covid death in all of israel for the first time in ten months they did it with vaccines. and it's a huge breakthrough does it signal to you that with enough vaccines, we could do this, and if we don't get enough, could we end up like, i don't know, india? >> well, i don't know about india, but we can vaccinate our
12:08 am
way out of this epidemic if all the adults and adolescents get vaccinated by summer, we can have an extraordinary quality of life with going back to concerts and music venues and ball games and bars and restaurants >> yes, please >> and all the things we like to do that's what we have to work towards. >> dr. hotez, hope it happens. so good to see you thank you. president biden closed out his climate summit today with a sales pitch to world leaders here it is the crisis at hand is a huge economic opportunity today mr. biden told dozens of presidents and prime ministers that acting now to combat climate change and investing in clean energy will create millions of good-paying jobs all around the world >> today's final session is not about the threat that climate change poses it's about the opportunity that addressing climate change provides this is a moment for all of us to build better economies for our children, our grandchildren,
12:09 am
and all of us to thrive, to thrive not just now but beyond, for the next generations >> president biden tries to rally world leaders to fight climate change he's facing a political battle right here at home to make his green energy infrastructure plan a reality. nbc's shannon pettypiece is live in washington. shannon, the president trying to hammer home this jobs message. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely, shep he's really selling this to be as much of a jobs plan as a climate change environment plan. of this $2 trillion infrastructure package that the white house, by the way, is calling the american jobs act, about $200 billion of that would go to electric vehicles. about $100 billion of that would go to recravamping the country' electric infrastructure. a number of economists and the administration are saying this could create thousands if not millions of jobs in just a few years in areas like manufacturing electric vehicles
12:10 am
or the batteries that go into those vehicles or installation solar panels but republicans are continuing with this counterargument that this move towards clean energy is going to devastate the fossil fuel industry and cost millions of jobs there, particularly over the long term, shep. >> and shannon, there's another plan coming from the president next week, right >> reporter: right, if you thought $2 trillion infrastructure plan was a lot, wait until you see the administration's family plan including minor for primarily childcare and education, things like universal pre-k, free community college, parental leave. and the administration officials are telling nbc news they're looking at paying for that in part by increasing the highest tax bracket back to those pre-2017 levels.
12:11 am
now, they caution to us in conversations that everything is fluid, the details haven't been hammered out, but they said one thing that won't be in there is any tax increase on people making under $400,000 and they don't anticipate anything to be related to health care in here they've indicated that is still to come, shep. >> shannon pettypiece, thank you much the pentagon is considering a historic change in how the united states military handles sexual assault and harassment accusations against service members. a defense department panel is now recommending that commanding officers should not be the ones to decide whether accused troops should face charges and a court-martial. instead the panel recommends creating a new independent authority to make that decision. today, a pentagon spokesman said the defense secretary, lloyd austin, is seeking feedback from different military branches before he makes any final decision trapped more than 2,000 feet

underwater, 53 lives at stake. tonight the u.s. navy joining the effort to find a missing submarine as a critical deadline passes protesters hit the streets in north carolina demanding to see the body cam video of the police shooting wednesday of andrew brown jr. coming up, what state law says about when such footage can be released and the growing pressure to change it. and virtual reality. just one tool being used to train police to de-escalate. up next, how it works. >> annouerthe

♪ ♪ strip away what you don't want, like added sugars and preservatives, and what's left is the good stuff. the real fruit and vegetable juices of naked. strip down to naked. new today, a sentencing date for derek chauvin. june 16, 2:30 eastern time, according to the court's scheduled release today. it comes three days after a jury found the former minneapolis police officers guilty of second
12:14 am
degree manslaughter, third degree murder, and second-degree murder the most serious charge carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. his attorneys will have 60 days to appeal. a third day of protests in north carolina now over the police shooting of andrew brown jr protesters demanding the body cam video be released. the county sheriff says three deputies have now resigned, seven others on administrative leave. the deputies shot and killed brown on wednesday while serving an arrest warrant for a felony drug charge, according to the sheriff. the attorney for brown's family says brown was unarmed and was shot in his car while he was driving away the sheriff not confirming those details, citing ongoing investigation. he did say brown had a history of resisting arrest. so why hasn't the body cam video been yet released? we looked up the laws in north carolina and the law says the footage is not public record and may only be released by order of a court.
12:15 am
so that means somebody has to ask a judge. the city council met today to do exactly that, formally but the process takes time a request for body cam video in a different case there took about six weeks. compare that to ohio, where body cam footage in the ma'khia bryant shooting was released within hours the footage considered public record there north carolina lawmakers are trying to adopt a similar law. earlier this month, the state senate proposed a bill that would require body cam footage be released as public record after 48 hours it remains to be seen whether that bill will get traction and pass how confident are you that police officers in the united states have the proper training to avoid using excessive force "the washington post" asked americans that very question in a new poll, and here it is overall, 55% of respondents said they are not confident that police have adequate de-escalation training that number jumped significantly
12:16 am
to 79% for black respondents in this new era of police accountability, there is a new approach to police training. one that focuses on the officers' brain. cnbc's contessa brewer now contessa, how does it work >> reporter: shep, police training focuses on the part of the brain that consciously makes decisions, weighing pros and cons, ethics and consequences. but scientists know that in high stress situations, another part of the brain takes over, the part that operates purely on instinct scientific research and immersive technology can change the way police train the brain for decades, simulators have been used to train police for deadly threats now virtual reality is teaching empathy, helping police walk a mile in someone else's shoes >> i been there, man, i know how you feel, bud. >> reporter: a stop to end the killing. rick smith wrote the book on it.
12:17 am
>> violence is a technology problem, at least a problem where tech can make a big difference >> reporter: smith heads up axon, best known for making tasers now it's applying vr technology to enhance an officer's most powerful weapon -- the brain >> we can put them in the scenario where it is their lizard brain, they react on instinct, not intellect. then it comes down to repetition to help build those reflexive skills >> any time something goes wrong or officers make poor decisions, very poor decisions or bad decisions, it almost always can be traced back to how the brain is processing information. >> reporter: john page founded cognitive command, a brain training system that uses short, daily exercises to anchor emotion, control breathing, use mental imagery pennsylvania has been using the program since 2010 to train all sheriff's deputies >> we introduced them to how the brain works, how the brain works under stress
12:18 am
if you're under stress and you can't handle that stress, you may be subject to auditory exclusion, tunnel vision, time distortion when we introduce them to tactical breathing, that brings down their heart rate. when your heart rate is lower, your ability to process information and make sound decisions is enhanced. >> reporter: their research shows it improves officers' ability to stay calm, confident, and in control still, there are hurdles >> money it comes down to how much money is an agency willing to invest and my answer to that is, how much money are you willing to spend on lawsuits for when your police agency fails? >> reporter: police may only train a day or two a year but may spend thousands of hours over their lifetime playing videogames with immersive shooting scenarios scientists say that builds neural pathways to perceive threats quickly. but boy, does it make it an

uphill climb to retrain for a more conscious approach. they're hoping to give the video game a run for its money, shep >> very interesting. thank you, contessa. time has run out for the missing submarine off the coast of bali. barring a miracle, the 53 sailors on board will have to be presumed dead. there's no oxygen left authorities said it would run out more than two hours ago. the sub, missing since wednesday av a training exercise, we're told, is believed to be about 2,300 feet beneath the surface that's about 1 1/2 times the height of the empire state building the sub sub is only equipped too down 656 feet, known as the crush depth. beyond that, the submarine is subject to collapse because of pressure the u.s. navy along with singapore, malaysia, india, australia, germany, and france all sending ships or aircraft to help out in the search
12:20 am
officials have previously reportedly two glimmers of hope. the first, finding an oil slick on the surface, and the smell of diesel fuel in the position of their last dave. and dive. the second, a strong magnetic pull under the water but no sign of the sub they're hard to find by design one naval expert tells us any recovery attempt would be complicated because of the depth and because this submarine is 40 years old and as a result doesn't have a system that allows any rescue craft to connect to it. he told us the chances of that crew being found alive at this point are less than 1% the jailed russian opposition leader alexei navalny now ending his month-long hunger strike his lawyer said he finally got independent medical attention from his doctors another reason he ended the strike, some of his supporters

were refusing to eat as a show of solidarity. navalny didn't want anybody to suffer because of what he's doing, his lawyers say earlier this week jailers moved him to a prison hospital his doctor warned his condition was so bad that he could die at any moment navalny began the hunger strike three weeks ago in protest of what he says is a lack of medical care since his arrest back in february his treatment triggered mass protests across major cities in russia two days ago. police officers reportedly arrested more than a thousand of them, including two top navalny aides. authorities had warned the rallies there are illegal. a gang of hackers targeting companies for millions of dollars. now going after one of the world's biggest companies. they're aggressive, they're known to call and taunt the ceos they're holding hostage, and analysts say we cannot touch them and 80 pounds of explosive rock a new hampshire
