specifically on the right of the political spectrum bashing her believability? >> because it's the same reason they like to talk about dr. seuss. i don't know. you know, so dr. seuss' family will say, we want to take the books offline because it doesn't represent. they'll go, we're going to buy them because we're going to lean into the racism. the palace will say, look, recollections vary and these allegations and the questions about racism are very serious. we're going to look into them. and the right goes, there is no racism. we're going to lean into it. all of a sudden, you have the right who is always anti-royal family pretty much. now they're supporting the royal family and they have become the press release, so to speak, for -- for buckingham palace? it's quite interesting, isn't it? it always has to be for some reason lately the opposition party. i wonder why. >> they're straight-up opposition. >> they are. >> what's going on with these laws across the states being put forward by republican administrations at the state level -- >> it's jim crowe. it's voter suppression. >> just look at the bills. you don't have to believe us. there is 250 of them out there. look at the one they're dealing with right now in georgia. it is going to be a 50-year pushback in terms of making it easy for people to get to the polls. and i think it's as simple as why when trump was in the seat it was about making fun of me for being italian and all that stuff. with you, it was always had to be the dumbest man on television. why? it is plays to others, black, ethnic. this is what they do, and they're doing it now in grotesque fashion with megan mar markle. there is no reason for people to give a damn about what meghan markle says in a royal mess. >> they're saying if you are a member of the royal family or if you are rich or if you have any platform in life that you cannot be discriminated against, which makes no sense because they're always talking about they're being discriminated against because they're being canceled. well, guess what happened today? pierce morgan canceled himself. he walked off the set. >> you think he quit? >> i think he canceled himself by his behavior. listen, you can have -- listen, the laws are a bit different over there than they are here. you have a freedom of speech here, the first amendment that you don't necessarily have over there. but in both places you can say what you want to say pretty much but you have to face the consequences of that. it doesn't mean that someone is taking your speech away. >> i remember, you know, i'm not a student of what happens over there certainly in the media culture, but i remember people going after him before and that ofcom, you know, the government agency that oversees this fairness kind of doctrine. >> that's what happened this time. they had 40,000 complaints this time. they opened an investigation. that doesn't mean they will side against him. >> i don't know that they control the outlet. it's not like he's on the bbc. >> right. >> look, i think it's really fascinating that this person of color has shaken up the royal family. >> two people of color. don't forget about oprah. oprah and meghan markle. >> you don't even have people here on the right going after oprah. nobody goes after oprah in their right mind. you can't have good reason to go after her. >> there are people who go after her, and they go after her, as i said last night, because they want to be relevant. they no longer have relevance. they no longer have a platform. what do you do? you go after the person with the biggest platform, the biggest voice. that is someone like oprah and a meghan markle. and it's confounding to me. i can't believe that people think that just because you have some degree of privilege that you cannot face discrimination or racism. rich women -- >> i think that's an elitism play. now they're anti-elite, the republican party. >> ask a wealthy woman or a woman in a position of business if you can face any sort of issue. they'll tell you, yes, i can. >> of course. of course. there is no immunity. and that whole stuff about look at how expensive their house is and stuff, they're just playing to these same divisive lines unless it comes to their tax policy and then they're all about helping people who live in those houses. but i'm so blown away by the shamelessness and the obvious nature of it. nobody can give me an alternative good listen for people on the right to be yapping about meghan markle the way they are if it's not about her color. is it about truth? after four years of empowering -- >> it's about her color. it's about her color. that's it. listen, stop playing around. we know it's about her color. i will take a page from the queen and i'm talking about the republican party, the whole family, american family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for the republican party. that's it. >> you're happy with yourself. you burn a lot of calories coming up with that? >> that is pretty good. >> d. lemon, i love you. >> this is "cnn tonight." i am don lemon. in just hours, president joe biden's game changing covid relief bill is expected to pass, a bill that could define his presidency with the biggest effort to tackle american poverty in years. and while we're on the verge of this seismic shift in this country, in the u.k. the royal family is grappling with the explosive fall-out from meghan markle and harry's interview with oprah and how they and we talk about race. we will dig really deep into that, all of it tonight. but i want to talk to you about the turmoil in the royal family. the queen poututting out a statement they didn't know the full extent of what they were going through, saying the allegations of race but they will be addressed by the family privately. now, it's interesting they always do a lot of interviews when they want to shape the narrative, but this particular issue they want to deal with it privately. what i didn't hear there, though, is a denial of anything they said in that explosive interview. it will be addressed by the family privately. that's the thing, though. because you must shine a light on racism. you have to talk about it outloud. i wrote about that in my book because this is the fire. what i say to my friends about racism. and listen, though, those conversations, they can be hard. but we have to -- i think we have to stop categorizing those conversations as hard. because actually, quite frankly, once you do it it can be really easy. you just need the tools and the language and the will to do it and you'll be fine. not so hard. but we've got to come to terms with how we talk about that, talk about it and think about race. okay? so we can't keep sweeping all this stuff under the rug. while the queen says that recollections may vary, meghan and harry were clear about their recollections. >> here's a conversation with you -- >> with harry. >> about how dark your baby is going to be? >> potentially and what that would mean or look like. >> did you leave the country because of racism? >> there was a lot -- it was a large part of it. >> prince charles, the heir to the thrown and harry's father had nothing to say today about his son and daughter-in-law. >> what did you think of the interview? >> thank you, everyone. >> oh. well, like i said, you have got to come to terms with how we talk about race or it will blow up in our faces like this moment from british tv. it was this morning when pier morton stormed off the saw and then quit the show. >> i understand that you don't like meghan markle. you have made it so clear a number of times on this program. has she said anything about you since she cut you off? i don't think she has, but yet you continue to trash her. >> okay. i'm done with this. sorry. >> do you know what -- >> see you later. >> sorry. can't do this. >> this is absolutely diabolical behavior. >> wow. well, british tabloids calling the royal blow-up over racism a crisis. racism has been out there in the open from the moment the world learned about their relationship. from straight out of compton to gangster royalty to exotic dna. the royal family can't claim they didn't know. they had the opportunity to take care of her. the world knew she was having trouble. remember her emotional response -- okay remember this? the statement says we had no idea. this was meghan's emotional response when a journalist asked her, are you okay? >> thank you for asking because not many people have asked if i'm okay. and then she went on to explain a bit. >> if they had listened, if they had taken care of her then, maybe things would have been different. meanwhile, seems like the story should have a trigger warning for the right in this country. >> i don't think anyone said it. i think she's making it up like jesse smollet. i think she's using it now to go make people feel sorry for her. we know that meghan markle is a tradition destroying leftist. >> the drama continuing as a result of someone publically spewing the -- the inside story for money about a family that she voluntarily married into. >> what she's really saying is that despite her enormous wealth and fame, despite the fact she never has to cook her own dinner or drive her own car, despite the fact that every time she goes to the gym, the journey is treated like a moon landing, despite the fact that she's a duchess, she's actually an oppressed victim. >> funny. so much. they know so much about black person, a black woman's plight and her journey and her issues. experts all of them. and talking about privilege, those people, one in particular, for real? you know who you are. red meat for their audience. they want you to believe there is no such thing as racism, if you are royal, if you are privileged, if you have money. there is no such thing as racism, it just removes it. it is like an eraser. it is like white-out. it's like white-out. oh, boy. maybe they can't accept what we have all seen with our own eyes and with our own ears. racism is racism whether you live in a palace or a shack. while they are blocking their ears to those tough conversations we need to have about race, those tough conversations are not so much, republicans across the country are trying to silence voters of color. georgia advancing a sweeping bill that will repeal no excuse voting. georgia's democratic party tweeting republicans are fighting for a democracy where rich georgians on vacation in their out of state second homes can get an absentee ballot, but essential works have to jump through hoops to vote. the biggest proponent of the big lie of a voter fraud, you know who, requested a mail-in ballot for his local election in palm beach. speaking of privilege. the right always likes to say, the former president was treated so unfairly. it is a form of discrimination, right? yet, he claims to be a billionaire, so his billions don't preclude him from being discriminated against? ah. they don't insulate him, does it? just wondering if the same rules apply for the rich, former president but they don't apply for the rich, black duchess. i said it before that hypocrisy is off the charts. and what about lindsey graham? calling $5 million in aid to black farmers in the covid bill, he's calling that aid reparations. >> let me give you an example of something that really bothers me. in this bill, if you are a farmer, your loan will be forgiven up to 120% of your loan, not 100% but 120% of your loan if you are african-american, some other minority. but if you are white person, if you are a white woman, no forgiveness as reparations. >> lindsey, i got a book for you. it's got a lot of history about this country and the disparities if you want to learn something. it is called "this is the fire." it's my book or pick up a history book because that's not reparations. if lindsey graham wants to have a real conversation about reparations, then i say great. but that ain't it, lindsey. but that g.o.p. hypocrisy is front and center as it looks like not one single republican, not one would vote for the covid bill that would lift millions of americans out of poverty, including some of their own voters who are struggling to pay the rent, to take care of their kids. they just refuse to reach across the aisle. even when it would benefit their own voters. even so. full outrage over mr. potato head, dr. seuss and meghan markle. guess what? that full outrage won't pay the bills. your constituents know it, too. president biden on the verge of passing the bill that could define his presidency and lift millions of americans out of poverty, while republicans, well, just say no. >> in a party of the american rescue plan versus the party of marjorie taylor greene, ted cruz and dr. seuss is not really a fair fight. thank you very much. >> so good. does scrubbing grease feel like a workout?

so biden's covid relief bill is huge, sir. you campaigned and won in part on the promise to deliver this aid. what will it mean for the president of georgia? >> thank you so much, don. it is great to be here with you. we passed historic legislation through the senate on saturday as we promised during my campaign. it will provide direct checks, direct relief to people who have been living on the edge for months. i'm proud of the expanded income tax credit that will literally cut child poverty and this country in half. and billions of dollars to make sure that we'd get this vaccine distributed efficiently and safely so we could reopen our economy, reopen our schools. >> this bill has zero republican support so far, likely to stay that way. have you had any discussions with your gop colleagues why they are voting no no no on this? >> well, i have been here a few short weeks and i'm building relationships with my colleagues. certainly i have been talking to folks and trying to igfigure ou what is the resistance on the other side of the aisle? i think the problem is that people are focussed on the politics rather than the people they were sent here to serve. >> let's talk about voting laws, new ones trying to be passed all around the country. ground zero to make it harder to vote. the senate passing a bill that would reveal no excuse absentee voting. another bill would limit weekend voting. is there any doubt who this hurts in your mind? >> we had two historic votes in the state of georgia with record turnout that placed georgia in the biden column, sent the first african-american senator from georgia to this capitol i'm proud to serve alongside jon ossoff, the first jewish senator from georgia. some politicians didn't like the outcome. they don't like the choice that georgians made. and so, instead of adjusting their message, they're trying to cherry pick the electorate. >> you are a pastor. you're working with john lewis in organizing souls to the polls events. all this voter suppression has sent deeply personal and hurtful to you, i imagine. >> it does. you know, some of the proud moments of my life are when i -- the moments i spent with john lewis. he led the congregation to walk with this icon who literally laid his life on the bridge in salma. and here we are 56 years after bloody sunday. and you have politicians in georgia who in their craven lust for power are willing to take us more than half a century back. and, so, we've got to do everything we can here in the united states senate and the capitol to preserve voting rights, which is why i'm proud that my first bill that i have cosponsored is senate bill one, the for the people act. it will expand access to voting at a time when they're trying to restrict voting. make voting a federal holiday, make sure that we require vote by mail when states like georgia are trying to get rid of it. and we have to stand up for the john lewis voting rights advancement act. voting rights is preservative of all other rights. this is not just one issue. we cannot allow politicians to take our democracy, to take our vote, to take our voice. i will do everything in my power in the name of john lewis and for the sake of the future of my own children to make sure that we preserve and expand voting rights in the state of georgia and in this country. >> so let's talk more about policy there because the senate is going to be looking to add a sweeping bill that expands voting rights hr-1, right? unlikely to pass without eliminating the filibuster. if that does happen and state republicans essentially they're going to, you know, get away with voter suppression, are they? >> voting rights is preservative of all rights. and i think this issue is so urgent that all options have to be on the table. this is not just an issue alongside other issues. it goes to the very heart of who we say we are as an american people. if the people don't have a voice in our own democracy, then what in the heck are we talking about? >> right. >> so for me all options have to be on the table, where this issue was concerned. >> senator warnock, i appreciate your time. thank you so much, sir. >> great to be with you. >> you as well. the queen is responding and she's denying nothing. we're live in windsor next. it's an important time to save. with priceline, you can get up to 60% off amazing hotels. and when you get a big deal... you feel like a big deal. ♪ priceline. every trip is a big deal. oh, you think this is just a community center?

>> yes, i did. absolutely. >> why? >> i was a problem. full stop. never happened before. what do we do with her? >> it was during that part of my pregnancy especially that i started to understand what our continued reality was going to look like. >> what kind of protection did you want that you feel you didn't receive? >> i mean, they would go on the record and negate the mostly dig louse story for anyone, right? i'm talking about things that are super artificial and inconsequential. but the narrative about, you know, making kate cry i think was the beginning of a real character assassination, and they knew it wasn't true. and i thought if they're not going to kill things like that, then what are we going to do? >> max, that has got to resonate inside the family. >> yeah, it has. you know, i think it resonates with a lot of people, actually. a lot of people thought diana was crazy back in the day for the idea that they were against her. meghan reminded people it could happen again so there hasn't been a huge amount of progress but also reinforcing diana's progress as well. i think it's powerful to compare those two interviews. it is the same issue, two women seen as a threat, you know, strong women who weren't supported by the palace and, you know, there was a plot against them. harry points out it was arguably worse for meghan. race combined with the presence of social media. so a stark contrast there but so many similarities. >> before we leave, i have to ask you about this. i think it is important that prince phillip is experiencing health issues and there is a massive controversy with the younger generation. how would you put that into context for us, max? >> a lot of people don't realize he supports her behind the scenes. the estate he runs. he's a hands on estate manager. he's also head of the family. he decides which kids go to which schools. he's very hands on. when there has been crisis, he's led things through. he's not here for this. so you wonder whether or not the statement would have come out sooner if he was more involved and the queen had someone to have counsel with. i think he is missed here. it is another stress wondering when he's going to come back to the castle. he's still not back here. he's been in the hospital for weeks, don. >> max, thank you so much. get some sleep, if you can. listen, i just want to tell our viewers, we mentioned at the top that prince charles was out and about today, was asked about the interview. did not respond to it. he kept walking. they have a new target. the same conservatives that talk up the founding fathers are now defending the royal family. and i wonder why. we'll talk about it. that's next. and soothes your stomach for fast relief and get the same fast relief in a delightful chew with pepto bismol chews. as a repairman, i hear a lot of folks say they feel like they have to rinse off dirty dishes like these before loading them in the dish washer. but new cascade platinum changes all that. new cascade platinum, with 50% more cleaning power! it dissolves fast to start cleaning sooner, releasing the soaking power of dawn. then cascade's food-seeking enzymes latch on and break down food into particles so small they can flow right down the drain. and it's powerful enough for the quick-wash cycle! new cascade platinum with 50% more cleaning power! the #1 brand just got better! last night's sleep, interrupted by pain?

>> i was hearing cry me a river. she was a princess living in a castle and she didn't want a part of that. >> i have a seven-year-old daughter. i'm hoping i can mold her to be everything that meghan markle is not. in other words, entitled. she is a chronic complainer, markle is. she plays the race card from the bottom of the deck it appears as well. >> whoo, buddy! as if you cannot be discriminated against if you are a person of privilege. >> so, don, a few things. first of all i think we have all learned to ignore the folks on that network because they have their own very serious diversity issues. i don't think they should be talking about race, privilege, entitlement. we could do a lot of segments on that. but i think to the bigger issue, this is classic culture wars. i was a republican for a long time, as you know. this is reduction. this is open up the old play book because we don't want to talk about covid relief. we don't want to talk about vaccines. we don't want to talk about the economy. so let's talk about dr. seuss and let's talk about meghan markle being privileged and whining and complaining. this is catnip for their base, don. the base loves this. don't forget, our last president said that it was child abuse to teach children about the 1619 project. the undertone of that is we need to get rid of these racial diversity programs, white people are under attack in this country, they're out to get you. it is the liberals. it's the blacks. it's meghan markle. and that's what this is all about. >> it is so hard for them. so, kas you said, first, it was dr. seuss and mr. potato head and now it's this. why is the prince harry and meghan markle story to triggering? you say stick it to the elites, right? in this case it seems to be siding with the british monarchy. >> right. what happened to the tea party? it's like this country, by the way, was founded in opposition to the people -- to the monarchy which they are the biggest defenders of and they're so worried about the queen and prince phillip and all these other things. look, i think that sofia is absolutely right, this is catnip to the base. but there is a lot of personal animosity i think that we're seeing. so i think it goes beyond the fact that republicans benefit from it politically. i think that they are very offended by the idea that meghan markle, a black woman who is not grateful, she's supposed to be grateful, don, and she is like -- and they -- they all but use the word uppity in the clip that we just listened to, right? so how dare she complain. she should just sit there and be quiet and be thankful that these people let her in their family. and then they have constructed this whole ridiculous narrative that somehow money or privilege can protect you from racism which we talked about. it is utter -- i'm not going to say the word, but it is not true. that's not how things work. it does not protect you. no amount of privilege will protect you from racism. >> i'll give you some letters. b.s., does that qualify? >> yes. >> okay. just checking. i have to ask you, though, because there is -- by the way, i have a t-shirt that says uppity and you should see the t-shirts when i wear it. i have been called it so much in the last few years i may as well wear the t-shirt. but the british tv host piers morgan storming off. as a matter of fact, the same team i have now was the team he had when he was here. he was confronted about his attacks on meghan markle. take a look. >> i understand that you don't like meghan markle. you made it so clear a number of times on this program. has she said anything about you since she cut you off? i don't think she has. but you continue to trash her. >> okay. i'm done with this. see you later. >> no, no, no. >> sorry. can't do this. >> this is absolutely diabolical behavior. >> so he's now leaving the show. he's under investigation after questioning meghan markle's veracity. is this a personal grudge? how do you see it? >> yeah. the way i see it is, and i think there are probably a lot of women that can relate to it is this is a man. there is multiple videos talking about a man that he can't get over the fact that he knew meghan markle a little bit and she ghosted him and didn't want to be friends with him anymore. the diabolical is really the perfect word to describe his behavior. he engaged in harassment and abuse of her. it has been diabolical harassment and abuse because she dared make a decision to not be friends with him. she's very discerning, obviously, and that what she's doing is completely abusive. and i guess he left on his own. i don't know. but if he had stayed there, i tweeted this today, he should have been disciplined a long time ago. this is not okay. you are not allowed. i would not be allowed to do this. i would not be allowed to come on cnn and just wage a war against somebody because i was mad at them because they didn't return my phone call. it is so sexist it's just -- it's mind blowing. >> diane abbott, the first black woman elected to the parliament said there is something about black women that people in the u.k. find particularly triggering saying it is a combination of racism and misogyny. >> it's just the u.k. it ain't just the u.k. where they find it triggering. it is right here in the united states of america. go ahead. finish your question. >> i was just saying, what is the element here, the racism and misogyny. >> as the black woman on this panel, meghan is biracial yes. i have nieces that are biracial and we have that conversation about but you are really black. i think that as black women, we have that double two for every day of our lives. is it race or gender or is it both? that's what megan has been dealing with -- so white women, by the way, you hit it out of the park, white women, we need you to be allies in this. some of the comments from megyn kelly and others are disgusting. they think because they as white women don't experience this that somehow it doesn't exist. i have news for you. we have a different experience from you every day as black women in this country, in the u.k., africa, asia, anywhere we go, we are triggering, like you say, don, for some reason. maybe it is too much strength, too much intelligence, too much power. i'm not sure what it is, but it does seem to be a common thread. i agree. >> sofia, can i just ask you something?
