Two mass shootings occurred in California during Lunar New Year celebrations, leaving Asian communities in the surrounding areas reeling. They came at a time of increased anti-Asian violence. Anh Do of the Los Angeles Times and Cecilia Lei of the San Francisco Chronicle join us. And, Willie Mae Brown was 12 years old when Martin Luther King Jr. first visited the church in her town. Her new book is "My Selma: True Stories of a Southern Childhood at the Height of the Civil Rights Movement," and Brown joins us. Then, it'll be a cruel summer for Taylor Swift fans who couldn't score tickets to the pop star's tour. After the chaos and Ticketmaster site shutdown, Swifties know there's a problem with Ticketmaster all too well, but now Congress is weighing in. The New Republic's Pablo Manríquez joins us to recap Tuesday's hearing.
