  Speaker 1: A Colorado appeals court has overturned the convictions of two
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: paramedics and the death of Elijah McCain.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: They claim Elijah McLean had excited delirium, which is this evening.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: The latest jobs report beat expectations, but black unemployment remains
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: nearly double the national rate.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Black worker is really going to do us when those
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: factories open.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And tonight at Madison Square Garden, President Trump and New
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: York Mayor Zoron Mondaani will both be at the NBA Finals,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: just not together. I will be in a very different
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: section of the stadium. It's Monday, June eighth, from the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Black Effects Podcast Network.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I'm Mimi Brown.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: This is front page and here are the day's biggest stories,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: plus your Monday breath. The stories you need to know
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Stay with me.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: A Colorado appeals court has thrown out the hummicide conviction
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: against two paramedics involved in the death of Elijah McCain,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the young black man whose case became a national rallying
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: cry during the Black Lives Matter protests. Elijah McCain was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: twenty three years old when he was stopped by police
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: while walking home in Aurora, Colorado, back in twenty nineteen,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: someone had called nine to pet one saying he looked
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: quote sketchy.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: McCain was unarmed.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: He had anemia, so he often wore a ski mask
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: because he got cold easily. Police restrained him on the ground,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: then paramedics injected him with ketamine, a powerful sedative. McCain
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: went into cardiac arrest and died days later. In twenty
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: twenty three, two paramedics were convicted of criminally negligent homicide,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: but now an appeals court says the jury was given
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the wrong legal instructions during the trial.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: For the Port of Appeals to say that this was
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: about jury instructions on the standard of care.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: It's funny because I was at every day of.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: The tribe and I understood that instruction.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: The paramedics knew the dosage that they were giving a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: one hundred and forty three pound young man. They knew
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the dosage was enough to sedate a full bred horse.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: They claim Elijah McLean had excited delirium, which isn't even
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a thing. So if the Court of Appeals watched the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: same footage that we watched, the same transfris that we
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: witnessed coming to Bold, we can only interpret that the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Court of Appeals is yielding to an agenda of the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: brand of the Verifire and Rescue.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The court says jurors should have judged the paramedics based
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: on what a trained paramedic would reasonably do, not what
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: an average person would do. Because of that, the homicide
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: convictions have now been overturned and the case is expected
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to be retried. One assault conviction against one of the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: paramedics still stands. The jobs report is out, and on paper,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the economy looks good. The US added one hundred and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: seventy two thousand jobs last month. That's more than economists expected,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and the national unemployment rate held study at four point
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: three percent. But here's the part of the story that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: actually matches what you're living through. Black unemployment is now
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: at seven point three percent, nearly double the national rate.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: President Trump was asked about that gap at the White
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: House and what black workers should expect moving forward.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Well, we're doing very well.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: With the black jobs, African American jobs.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: We're doing well. I saw some numbers that we're doing
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: really well. But we're really going to do well is
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: when all these plants are open. You know, we're building
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: many car plants. We're bringing cars back from Germany. We're
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: bringing you know, we lost the car industry years ago.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Fifty four percent of the industry went to Germany, Japan,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Canada and Mexico. It's all coming back. It's amazing. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: where you're black worker is really to do was when
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: those factories open. So I think they're going to be great.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: We've been doing it's been a big focus for me.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Economists say black workers have been hit especially hard in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: recent months by federal workforce cuts, the rollback of DEI programs,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and the layoffs and industries where many Black Americans work.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And while the headlines are calling this a strong economy,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of families say it does not feel that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: way when rent, groceries, insurance, and everyday costs keep rising
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: faster than paychecks. It's Monday, which means it's time for
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: your Monday Brief. Every Monday on front page, I give
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you a quick rundown of the stories you need on
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: your radar this week.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: So let's get into it first.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: A new lawsuit against Amazon claims Ring's facial recognition feature
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: has been collecting and storing the faces of people walking
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: past cameras, including neighbors, delivery workers, and kids without their consent.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: The lawsuit says those face prints can be stored for
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: up to six months. Second SpaceX is expected to go
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: public as early as this week in what would become
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the biggest IPO in history. Annalysts say if you have
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a retirement account or index fund, your money could eventually
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be tied to it, whether you buy the stock or not. Third,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the CDC says the country has now passed two thousand
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: confirmed measles cases, putting America close to its worst measles
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: outbreak in decades. Health officials say the overwhelming majority of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: cases are among people who are unvaccinated.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: And finally, a few things to watch this week.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The Carmelo Anthony murder trial is expected to continue in Texas.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The NBA Finals between the Knicks and the Spurs continued
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: this week, and we are now officially days away from
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the UFC event. President Trump says he wants at the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: White House for his birthday. That's your Monday brief. You
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: can now walk into the week well informed. Game three
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals tips off tonight at Madison Square Garden,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and the Knicks are not the only.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Story inside the building.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: President Trump is expected to attend tonight's game from a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: luxury suite after being invited by Nick's owner James Dolan.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: A New York City mayor's Aron Mandani says he'll be
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: there too, just not anywhere near Trump.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I will be at Game three. I will be in
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a very different section of the stadium.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Now, beyond basketball, this is also about politics. What makes
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this more interesting is despite their political differences, the two
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: men have reportedly communicated before and even work together behind
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the scenes on immigration related issues involving New Yorkers. But tonight, though,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: all of that lands inside Madison Square Garden during one
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of the biggest Knicks games in decades. So between the celebrities,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: secret service, politics, and the playoff energy, the cameras may
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: spend just as much time looking into the crowd as
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: they do the court.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: That's your front page. I Mimi Brown.
