For the country, what happened today was the 232nd Mass Shooting of the year. It was the 17th, since last wednesday. Californias governor spoke to that reality, a short time ago. Here we are, in The United States Of America. Were experiencing something just is not experienced anywhere else in the world. Theres a sameness to this, and a numbness, i think, is something were all feeling. But it begs the damn question, what the hell is going on in The United States Of America . What the hell is wrong with us . Well, cnns Dan Simon joins us, now, from the scene. Dan, what do we know . Reporter anderson, as usual, the main question is why . What would cause this shooter to go across the street, target his own coworkers, shoot and kill them . At this point, authorities have not established a clearcut motive. What i can tell you is that authorities did recover multiple weapons at the scene. They havent said what the Make And Model of those weapons were. But it seems clear, that he wanted to inflict as much carnage as possible, before taking his own life. At 6 34 a. M. , calls started. Deputies responded and received information that there were multiple shots fired calls. Just as workers at the Mantance Yard were beginning their shift. Deputies immediately responded to the location. And addressed the threat and the situation. They did not wait. They immediately went into the scene, and rendered first aid. And rescued Victims Out of the building, as fast as they can. While the shots are still being fired, our teams with San Jose pd, are are entering the building while shots are still going on. We formed multipletactical teams that came into the building to extricate Victims Out. Reporter around the same time, firefighters were responding to a house fire. A source close to the investigation confirms belonged to the suspect. Its very complex investigation. We now know that San Jose is working on the house fire. Reporter as of now, Law Enforcement says the shooter took eight lives, before taking his own. I know, for sure, that when the suspect knew that Law Enforcement was there, he took his own life. Reporter a Closeknit Family in morning. The board chairman. Its a family. People in the organization know everyone. This is a terrible tragedy and we will do everything we can to help people get through this. Reporter as friends and Family Members desperately search for their Loved Ones. I just got to get my wife. Reporter others wanting action. And for this, to finally stop. To the victims, to those that lost their lives and the families lost their Loved Ones. Yes, our hearts go out. But we are resolved to not make this meaningless but to bring meaning, at this tragic moment in our state and our nations history. And, dan, i understand authorities also found explosives at the site . Thats right, anderson. A Bombsniffing Dog was brought in, and did discover the presence of explosives. And i can tell you that, right now, as i speak, a robot is going, from room to room, within the large facility behind me, trying to find, potentially, more explosives. And, anderson, i mentioned earlier, at this point, we dont have a clearcut motive. But one thing to note is that the Shooters Exwife spoke to the bayarea news group, a cnn affiliate, and mentioned that during their tenyear marriage, he often spoke angrily about his coworkers and his bosses. And seemed to be very unhappy about his work. She hasnt spoken to him in a number of years but im certain that investigators will want to speak with her. Dan simon, i appreciate it. Thank you. Right now, jonathan, freelance Video Journalist who went to the scene. He doesnt want his last name used. He joins us, by phone. So, jonathan, you took a video that we are about to show. Can you just walk us through what happened . And and how you got it . Caller yeah, so, you know, i actually live in, you know, a Mile Radius where the shooting occurred. And i just heard a lot of commotion from, you know, my apartment. You know, i just started hearing police sirens, firefighters, and, you know, just based off of my instinct as a journalist, i just decided to check on some resources and see what was happening in my area. And, you know, i just happened to see that there was a large, you know, Fire Response going towards younger where the shooting had occurred. So, you know, i just wanted to go see what was happening. And, you know, as i was leaving my residence, just seeing a lot of deputies just rolling lights and sirens towards the direction of the scene. How how quickly were you getting toward the scene, from when this actually i mean, did you hear gunshots . Or did you just know see action of police and know something was going on . So i just heard a lot of sirens. Im not like i said, i live in a Mile Radius. It took me three minutes to just get to the scene. And, yeah, On My Way there, i actually did hear a loud, you know, gunshot. Kind of just echoed through the neighborhood because its a pretty quiet area. You know, you dont really get a lot of things like this ever happening, especially in this part of town. Like, its just very quiet. Really residential. I mean, you got the police department. You have, you know you have the sheriffs office. And, you know, some of the Training Facilities here. And its just it was just really surprising to even know that that was happening, just, you know, not far away from home. So, when you got to the scene, at what point did you realize this wasnt a drill . Or, you know, a false alarm . Or a fire . When did you realize it was an Activeshooter Situation . Until they started bringing bringing people out. I didnt you know, like i said, when i was going there, i didnt really know what was happening. And, you know, just you know, i just thought it was, you know, i just thought it was training. And, you know, yeah. When i got there and i saw that they were bringing Victims Out and, you know, just seeing Fire Gear up. And their, you know, tactical vests and their bulletproof vests or bulletproof helmets. Thats when you thats when i really realized something was happening and just seeing what i saw was just really it was very it was a shock. Jonathan, i appreciate you showing us your video. Thank you very much. Well keep updating the story, throughout the program, tonight. But theres more, breaking News Tonight. A warning, from a highlyrespected Federal Judge, handling the cases of some of the alleged Capitol Hill attackers. She says the threat has not gone away, because the former president s Bigelection Lie lives on. Cnns Jessica Schneider joins us now with the story. So, jessica, talk more about what weve learned from this judge. Yeah, you know, anderson, this is a warning coming from Judge Amy Berman jackson. She is really an outspoken and longtime Federal Judge here, in washington. And she says that the public could really, still, be endangered if some of these Capitol Riot defendants were released from jail because the exact lies that brought them to the capitol on January 6th, and inspired them to attack the capitol. She says, theyre still being repeated by the formerpresident trump and some majornews organizations. So, this is what Judge Amy Berman jackson wrote in this 26page opinion, tonight. She said the steady drumbeat that inspired defendant to take up arms has not faded away. Six months later, the canard that the election was stolen is being repeated daily on majornews outlets and from the corridors of power in state and federal government. Not to mention, the neardaily fulninations of the former president. And how it poses this danger throughout our society. Judge amy berman jackson. She wrote these words as part of her ultimate decision to keep the defendant, in this case, cleveland meredith, in jail because she said he posed a danger to the public. This is a man who allegedly texted that he wanted to shoot House Speaker Nancy pelosi on live tv. And then, he hauled a trailer of guns and ammunition, allegedly, he here to washington. Hes pleaded not guilty. But obviously, anderson, the judge in this case, not holding back in this 26page opinion. Keeping him in jail. Shes shes not the firstFederal Judge to issue this kind of a warning. Nor, we have seen it repeatedly over the past weeks and months, that this continued push of the Big Lie. It may actually be keeping alive some of the Grassroots Anger that led to the Capitol Attack in january. So we have heard from several judges. One of them being d. C. Federal judge emmett sullivan, in april. He talked about how he was concerned that this dissatisfaction over the election that some americans have, still, hasnt dissipated. And he also referenced the constantpublic comments that were hearing from formerpresident trump about what hes repeatedly called the stolen election. And then, there was judge paul friedman, also, here in d. C. He wrote about how, actually, one of the defendants who drove Cross Country with guns before allegedly assaulting police at the capitol. The fact that this defendant idolized president formerpresident trump. And believed those lies about the Election Fraud. So, really, anderson, this is an ongoing concern for judges for, as these people who carry out the attack. They are still appearing in court. And because of this concern from these judges, many continue to be kept behind bars because of the danger these judges say they still present. Yeah. Jessica schneider, appreciate it. Thank you. We have more, Breaking News Coming Up new developments surrounding the Grand Jury investigating the former president or his organization that could signal a big change. A shift from collecting evidence, to actually presenting a case.

More breaking News Tonight involving that special manhattan Grand Jury, convening to hear possible charges against the Trump Organization and perhaps the former president. The Washington Post first reported manhattan District Attorney, cyrus vance, has the Grand Jury Looking to, among other things, the formerpresident s Tax Returns and the overall finances of the company. Cnns Paula Reid joins us now with the developments. So what do we know about what prosecutors are now focusing on . Anderson, we know at least one witness has been told by investigators to prepare to go before a Grand Jury. So this signals that this longrunning investigation, its been going on for abouttwo years now, is entering an advanced stage. The Grand Jury, its an incredible powerful tool for prosecutors. It allows them to continue to gather evidence. And they can also test their case to see whether potentially bring an indictment against the former president , the Trump Organization, or anyone else. Its pretty wide ranging but really its focused on whether the Trump Organization lied about its assets. Looking at whether, had they went to the banks to get loans, they inflated assets. And when it was time to pay taxes, they may have devalued their assets to they didnt have to pay as much. Now, former president , anderson, has denied any wrongdoing and he has dismissed this, as he does with most investigations, calling it a witch hunt. Do we know who the d. A. s office may Look to as potential witnesses . The potential crime, of course, one of them is fraud. And as we know, the former president , anderson, he doesnt email. He doesnt tend to leave a paper trail. So what prosecutors are going to need . They are going to need a witness, who was in the room with him. Anyone who talked about these, specific issues. So, all eyes are on the longtimeTrump Organization cfo, Allen Weisselberg. He is the kind of guy that, if he is willing to cooperate, he could really give investigators some insight about the Inner Workings of this organization. Now, he is also facing his own investigation into his taxes. Which could help pressure him to actually cooperate, in this investigation. But well see. And anderson, just because there was a Grand Jury, no guarantee that the former president or anyone, at all, in this investigation will be charged. But a former prosecutor tells cnn that it would be very rare to convene a Specialgrand Jury in manhattan, that didnt at least consider charges. Paula reid, appreciate it. Want to get perspective now from blair who teaches at the Columbia School of journalism. Also, with us, cnn legal analyst, elliot williams, formerfederal prosecutor. Elliot, what what does it tell you about where manhattan d. A. s investigation is at . Given its office has told one witness to prepare for Grand Jury testimony . They have reached a point in their investigation, that the District Attorney believes there is evidence of a crime. You know, it would be responsible for any Prosecutors Office to have reached this point, and not believe that there was at least some suggestion that there had been a crime. Now, Look. In the Grand Jury, the prosecution has a relatively low bar to clear. Its probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed. Which basically, means, in plain language, that its more likely, than not, that a crime was committed. Now, it seems, based on the fact that they are calling evidence and where they are, they probably know more than that. And and are calling witnesses to establish that. So, this is beyond the point where theyre just poking around, and Looking for documents. And i think theyre, in all likelihood, on to something. Couldnt it be possible, though, they just want a witness to explain some complex documents that the Grand Jury will be Looking at . It could be. You know, witnesses can come in to sort of Help Authenticate or make Sense Of documents. But again, when youre talking about an investigation into a former president. And frankly, step back and note, and we should always note, how significant this is. History has never seen this. The law has never seen this. And its in their interest to only bring evidence thats going to get them, you know, more than a fishing expedition, i think, anderson. And closer to bringing charges. So, yes, the it could be. But, you know, i just think its hard to to believe that or see that, at this point. And gwenda, we dont know who the witness is or if there is more than one. We do know prosecutors have been investigating as as we were just hearing. The Trump Organization cfo, Allen Weisselberg. He been been with the company for almost50 years. Paula reid talking about them Looking into his taxes. We also know they have Looked at, i believe, one of his children, as well. Based on your reporting from your book, is there really much he doesnt know about whats gone on there . Is there much that Allen Weisselberg doesnt know . Yeah. The simple answer is no. Hes there hes the guy, who figured out all the Tax Strategies for the lasthalf century. He is the guy. And what so, what role i mean, he has been the the person in charge of all of that . All this time . He has been he was an accountant. He started in 1973. Donald that was before Donald Trump actually took over the business. So hes been there the whole time. Hes the guy who figured out the strategy that Fred Trump used to pass on his estate to his children. And to avoid taxes. Shell corporations. All kinds of things that were documented, extensively, in the new york times, a few years ago in a very, very lengthy series. And Allen Weisselberg was the guy who figured all that out. And i have to tell you that, when i interviewed Donald Trump, it was back when he was at trump tower, of course. And everybody he had a very small staff. I was surprised at how small it was. And some very [ inaudible ] Looking people there. It was a very ritzy, stylish, fancy, superluxury environment. Over in the corner, was this guy, Allen Weisselberg, and he wasnt there for decor. He wasnt there for glamour. He wasnt there for any of that. He was there because he knew how to do Tax Strategies. And hes been there for this whole time. He knows. Elliot, what what kind of levers do prosecutors have to get something, like, you know, the accountant to to cooperate with them . And weve seen this in, you know, Mob Cases and in, you know, mob movies. Where its the accountant, in The End, who brings the people down. Right. Look. If you are if prosecutors are investigating an organization for financial or tax irregularities, the last person on earth an organization wants is their fourdecadetenured chieffinancial officer, now, the huge incentive, to answer your question, anderson, is the risk of prosecution of him or his own family. And i think what prosecutors can hold over him is either, Look, you know, you can plead to a particular charge. Or you know, or you can plead to a pretty big charge. Or, you know, we can go after members of your family. Or we can go after you, more seriously. And so, avoiding being prosecuted or avoiding having Loved Ones be prosecuted a huge incentive. And even for someone who might be loyal to an organization or the principal of the organization so imagine if Allen Weisselberg just, you know, wishes to remain loyal to the trump family, i dont know. But, you know, the risk of being prosecuted and avoiding that could be a huge incentive to motivate behavior. Prosecutors do it all the time as a means of securing guilty pleas for people who are cooperating. Allen weisselbergs former daughterinlaw, jennifer, told the New Yorker about her former fatherinlaw saying does donald like me today . Its his whole life, his core being, he is obsessed. He has more feelings and adoration for donald than his wife. End quote. She also told cnn she thinks weisselberg would flip, and cooperate with investigators, if necessary to protect himself. I mean, its sort of a stunning portrayal of this person. And again, it there are all these people around the former president , who seem to pledge him loyalty, even though loyalty is not something he, himself, pledges to anyone. Yeah. Loyalty to an the simple fact is, yes, that that might be a onesided loyalty. But the simple fact is, if this is a question of going away for months or years in prison. What is that going to get you . And that is a question that criminal defendants, targets, subjects, face all the time. And based on what we know, this individual will have to confront here. Gwenda, does it make sense, to you . This whole kind of Loyalty Thing to this person . His Core Staff and and Allen Weisselberg is certainly one of them. He certainly loyalty he he puts a great emphasis on that, except as weve seen when it doesnt matter to him anymore when its expedient not to. And Allen Weisselberg has been very loyal to him, over all these years. But going to jail . Thats a pretty thats the ultimate test. And his his own daughterinlaw, you know, formerdaughterinlaw. She said something very interesting. She says the way the the perks and benefits are handed out to staff, its to keep them dependent. To keep them afraid to not stay there. To keep them docile. And i think that that is very much the case with Allen Weisselberg. He was the Poster Child for how successful that has been, in the in the Trump Organization. He was the we have to remember that he was the cotrustee of the trust of of the setup that was supposed that, when Donald Trump moved to the White House, his two sons were going to run the company. The third person who was supposed to be running it was Allen Weisselberg. Hes, absolutely, been in the midst of everything. Everything. The midst of Donald Trump being able to kind of gain the bankruptcy system. And end up being, you know, run up over A Billion Dollars in debt. And use that to offset paying taxes for, you know, years and years and years. Him having to pay taxes of 750 in 2016 and 2017 . Yeah. Thats Allen Weisselbergs handy work. Appreciate your time tonight. Elliot williams, as well. Thanks so much. The next question of a commission to investigate January6th Attack on democracy. Why even the mother of a fallen Capitol Police Officer might not get answers from some of the lawmakers who will be voting on that commission. Weve got em on the ropes. The billionaires buying elections. The corporate special interests poisoning campaigns with dark money, frantic to preserve bigmoney politics as usual. Because the for the people act is on the verge of becoming law. Reining in corporate lobbyists, finally banning dark money, and protecting our freedom to vote. Billionaires and special interests, your day is nearly done. Because its time for the people to win. I have an idea for a trade. Why dont you call Td Ameritrade for a Strategy Gut Check . Whats that . You run it by an expert, you talk about the risk and potential profit and loss. Couldve used that before i hired my interior decorator. Get a Strategy Gut Check from our trade desk. To make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. We believe the future of energy is lower carbon. And to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. At chevron, were taking action. Tying our executives pay to lowering the carbon Emissions Intensity of our operations. Its tempting to see how far weve come. But its only human. To know how far we have to go. Given the Federal Judges warning, which we reported on tonight, that the former president s Big Lie about Election Fraud could inspire yetmore violence, this next story is not just about recent history. It also speaks to those who would close their eyes to what still may come. Tomorrow, the mother of fallen Capitol Police Officer, Brian Sicknick, will go to the institution he gave his life defending. Shell be there, trying, and i emphasize, trying to talk with republican senators about the bill to create a commission to investigate the attack that cost her son his life. Now, you would think that no senator could refuse her. But cnn has learned answers from some senators are hard to come by. First, though, its when you think about it, hard to believe that some lawmakers would refuse to see her. Hard to believe that there are human beings, who witnessed the worst assault in democracy by americans since the civil war, who do not want to be reminded of what they saw, with their own eyes. And it seems, they especially dont want to be reminded by a grieving mom. Which, i guess, should really not come as a surprise, considering the reason some gop senators are giving for opposing the january6th commission. Some have argued that it comes too late and would spill over into an election year. Even though, the bill before them imposes a december31 deadline. Others say that it comes too soon. And then, of course, theres this guy. You know, if you didnt know the Tv Footage was a video from january the 6th, you would actually think it was a normaltourist visit. Congressman congressman adam clyde. His remarks are so ludicrous and so offensive to the memory of officer sicknick, that his mother, gladys, included it in her letter to lawmakers today. Heres what she said about that, as well as her Sons Role in protecting that congressman. Quote, he and his fellow officers fought for hours and hours against those animals who were trying to take over the Capitol Building and our democracy as we know it. While they were fighting, congressmen and senators were locking themselves inside their offices according to some who were barricaded in their offices, said it Looked like tourists walking through the capitol. Really. She added, i suggest that all congressmen and senators who are against this bill visit my Sons Grave in arlington national cemetery. And while there, think about what their hurtful decisions will do to those officers going forward. More now, from jamie gangel. Also, the man who swore Brian Sicknick in as a young Capitol Police Officer. Former Capitol Police chief, terrance gainer, and we are pleased he could be with us tonight. Jamie, first of all, what are you learning . Well, the list of senators who have said yes has been influx all day. We are reaching out to everyone. Thus far, according to a source familiar with the list, only15 senators have said yes. These are republican senators, anderson, out of 50. Weve been told that seven others, including Mitch Mcconnell, have offered that mrs. Sicknick could meet with Staff Members. So, that leaves about28 other members. Now, our source has told us that some of those senators have told them, no. But cnn is, still, in the midst of reaching out to the entire conference. I think its not unimportant to note that, at the beginning of today, some people said no. And then, when we called them, all of a sudden, they switched to yes. Chief gainer, what does it say that some republican senators wont even take the time to meet with officer Sicknicks Mom . Well, it reinforces that some of them dont get the seriousness of what went on, and the sacrifices made by these officers. I its just pitiful and theres no reason they Cant Spare a few minutes for the mother of this fine officer. And she, certainly, has a right to speak for him. Jamie, do you think that anybody would actually change their mind, after speaking to officer Sicknicks Mom . It its really hard to say, at this point. Right now, there are only three members, mitt romney, susan collins, and and lisa murkowski, who have said that they will vote to end to allow a vote on the commission to go forward. My sense is, especially when you Look at these numbers today, that weve only been able to confirm that 15 will actually meet with her. That Mitch Mcconnell has a very firm grip on his conference. And he does not want this commission. Chief gainer, you knew officer sicknick, personally. You swore him in. And and i want to read more of the letter from his mom. She says, putting politics aside, wouldnt they want to know the truth of what happened on January 6th . If not, they do not deserve to have the jobs they were elected to do. What do you think the the message it sends to Capitol Police the Capitol Police Force if the commission gets voted down tomorrow . You know, we talk a lot about the trust the officers have to gain with the public. But i think the the leadership of the congress and the members need to reinforce their trust of the officers. I think the officers are still hurting from the 6th. And the loss of this officer and The Other Two that resulted out of this. And they need some affirmation, besides just a nod from some of these members, that they care about them. And can take some action to try to find out what happened so we can improve, make sure it never happens again. So, all they have gotten in the last four months is really a lot of Lip Service about thank you very much, youre our heroes. We did let you lie in honor but now, lets move on. And thats not fair. What what what do you remember about Officer Sick Nick . I mean, you swore him in, in 2003, was it . Yes. And, you know, one of the things, when you swear these young men and women in, a, they Look so old or young to us oldsters. And then, when you see them in and around the capitol doing their job. How proud you are of them. So he and The Other Two that died were people that i talked with, interacted with, and other Staff Members talked very highly about them as do their contemporaries. We owe them this. These members, whether theyre democrats or republicans, owe something to these officers and the other people who fought that day to get to the bottom of this and figure out how we can prevent it. How possibly could they not want to meet with this Mans Mom . I mean, its like hes calling from the grave. Shes speaking for him. Reach out and talk with the woman, and then if you can Look her in the eye and deny this. Then, i guess, youve manned up. Terrance gainer, appreciate your time tonight. Jamie gangel, as well. Thank you. Earlier, i said the congressmans name you heard from was adam clyde. His first name is andrew, not adam.

President biden has tasked his Intelligence Agencies to redouble their efforts to investigate the origins of Covid19 And Report back to him in 90 days. This comes after u. S. Intelligence report found several researchers at chinas Wuhan Lab fell ill in november of 2019. And had to be hospitalized, which is fueling debate about where and how the pandemic began. And also, comes after cnn has learned of a secret investigation by the former president s State Department into the mysterious origins of the virus. That was shut down by the biden administration. Cnns Kaitlan Collins joins us now with more on all this. Also, cnn medical analyst, dr. Leana wen. So, kaitlan, what is the White House saying tonight . These are all the most substantive statements we have gotten from President Biden since taking office on the origins of covid19. It suggests that he saw something thats driving this, in the reports hed requested. It does. And kind of, what the president goes into in his statement, where he was announcing this new directive for the u. S. Intelligence community, anderson, is he says that he asked his nationalsecurity adviser, jake sullivan, about this back in march. And he said they came to him. He had followup questions for them. And now, because of whatever he saw in those followup questions, hes now directing them to lead this effort into, basically, getting a better answer as to what the origin of this could be. Because he says the Intelligence Community has coalesced around these two ideas. But both have, essentially, Lowtomoderate Confidence in the fact that they are right in what their theory is. So he wants a more definitive answer, and so thats why hes instructing them to do this. But it does give you this indication that maybe he thinks there could be some credibility behind this theory of a Lab Leak, potentially, because he does want them to put the full force of the federal government behind it. And, kaitlan, the cnn reporting that the biden administration shut down a trumpState Department effort Looking into the origins of the virus. Its raising eyebrows, though its not entirely clearcut because it was run by allies of mike pompeo. And there were, apparently, concerns about political motives. That said, how is the biden administration justifying the move . Well, i think, thats the Big Question facing them because they are disputing that it was shut down. They are saying, simply, the investigation came to an end and that its work was done but i think it raises questions because, obviously, it did not come to a conclusion to what the ultimate effect was. Obviously, there are still questions. Thats why President Biden wants this investigation to go on and he is putting the u. S. Intelligence community behind it. But i do think there was this concern when you talked to biden officials, that they were worried when it was attached to someone like Secretary Of State pompeo, who pushed it repeatedly against what other experts were saying, people were doubtful of it. And, of course, you saw formerpresident trump pushing it, as well. So i think its kind of surprising to see the biden administration waited this long to see that, yes, we are going to put the Intelligence Community behind this. But i do think it speaks to the level of they want to figure out whats going on here. They dont seem to think chinas being cooperative. Of course, we have known that they have not been cooperative for some time. And they want to get answers to this. But whether or not we actually get those, it really remains to be seen. And dr. Wen, we talked about this topic earlier in the week. I know you did your Masters Thesis on the chinese healthcare system. I am wondering what your initial reaction to the new reporting is . Well, i think its really important that we get to the bottom of this. And clearly, the World Health Organization hasnt been successful in their effort. Which would have been ideal. And so, i do think its really important that the biden administration now takes a hard Look at the twodominant theories that there are. Its important that we find out, for the purposes of preventing the next pandemic. To know is this the Spillover Animal Theory . Or is there a Lab Leak . In which case, you might also want to strain better protections in labs. I do want to say, though, its really important for whatever investigation that occurs to follow the scientific method. Because the last thing that we want to do is to have a predetermined conclusion. And then, to cherry pick our answers accordingly. Perhaps, that was the problem with the investigation under the trump administration. That they, already, had a conclusion in mind. And thats why i hope that the biden team keeps an open mind. And they really Look at the scientific data and the facts as they come in because overall, this is about the Health And Wellbeing of americans and the entire world. I mean, without cooperation, though, from the chinese, i mean, dr. Wen, its going to be extremely difficult to get answers. Right. And even if the chinese government cooperated, at this point, there is going to be an open question of are they falsifying documents . Can we really trust what it is that theyre putting forward . There are lots of lab samples, for example, that we know are out there. Including, of researchers, of individuals who were sick early in the pandemic. Do we have access to them, now . Even if we can get access, how do we know that what we are getting is is real . And so, i think, this is why having of course, having cooperation would be ideal. But even if we got cooperation, i think there needs to be some intelligence and and people Looking into this to say whether we are getting truthful and accurate information. Kaitlan, is there a Sense Of of how long this will take . I mean, i know the the biden administration, obviously, wants it as soon as possible. So, President Biden said 90 days. That he wants them to get back to him, by then. But the question that remains then is, do we get to find out what President Biden is learning, in 90 days . Does the White House wait to declassify that and let reporters know, essentially, what that report thats delivered to the president s desk says . Thats what we dont know, yet. And i think the White House is trying to be really cautious, here. Saying that they dont think or they dont they dont know, for sure, that they are going to magically find out where this came from. What happened in 90 days from now. They are saying that it could be a little vague, then. But i think President Biden was pretty clear in his statement, that he wants something more definitive by then. And so, well see what happens at The End of these 90 days. Or if a determination is made before they reach that point. Yeah. Kaitlan collins, dr. Leana wep, appreciate it. Thanks very much.

My great grandmother started a legacy of education in my family. Didnt know she ran for state office. Ended up opening her own restaurant in san francisco. Paralee wharton elder, lupe gonzalez, mary sawyers, margaret ross. Theres a lot of life that she lived. Who are the strong women in your family . Tomorrow in Baton Rouge, louisiana, the Aclu And Naacp of louisiana will hold a rally for justice in honor of ronald greene. His family will be there. Hes the Black Man who was punched, repeatedly tasered, kicked and dragged by his feet while handcuffed. By Louisiana State troopers two years ago. This is some of the Body Cam Video cnn obtained last week. Authorities have since released all of the video. They have been sitting on it now two years. Greenes family say police told them he died in a Car Crash after a police chase. They are accusing police of a cover up. The family filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit. Joining me tonight is ronald greenes mother. Thank you for joining us again. We learned this week that one of the troopers involved in your Sons Arrest and what we saw in that video was fired over the use of force in another unrelated incident. When you heard that, what did you think . He wasnt arrested, he wasnt theres been no repercussions for being involved in what happened to your son, its just some other incident. And thats what thats what im so infuriated by that because they think that this is worse than a bandaid on a murder. And i dont understand how they can even apply this on any level. The fact that you already had one who supposedly died in a Car Crash, hollingsworth. You had another one who 50 hours administrative leave. Were talking about murder. Its clear, straightout murder. In some of the video, one of the officers, i believe its in the video, says that he didnt want to put your son up into a sitting position because he didnt want to get blood on him. He was afraid your son was going to cough up blood on him. I mean thats thats extraordinary. You know what you see in this video, theyre really some sick individuals here. And its really sad that these sick individuals are employed by the Louisiana State troopers. And theyre continuously on a lot of issues. My son isnt the first. And its really sick what you see here, how these people with badges, killing and torturing My Son to the point that they killed him. Its clear in this video that this is not the first that they are not experimenting with stuff that they havent done before. It seems they all are pretty comfortable, multiple tasering your son multiple times, screaming at him, getting him out of the vehicle, beating him, dragging him by his feet while hes handcuffed, putting their foot onto your son to push him down to the ground so he cant get off his chest. I mean is that the sense you have from watching this video as well, that they have done this before likely . Oh, yes. Oh, yes. And the word you use and i agree totally is theyre very comfortable with this, to the point that they know when its done, someone else above them will help cover this up. Its like theyre giving these badges to go out, find you somebody, kill them. Well take care of it here. This coverup, this corruption. Its not only the state troopers. Its those who employed them to let this happen. Also, i mean they afterward were texting each other joking about it. I mean theyre Police Officers who know about evidence. It clearly would seem to indicate theyre either the stupidest people on the planet or they just assume no one is going to Look into what happened, no one is going to care what happened, and if they do, it will just be covered up. I mean i dont understand, these are police Officers Texting about, you know, jokingly about, you know, beating up your son, his blood. I mean its incredible. Yeah, and you know, anderson, whats so gut wrenching is the fact that this story, this backandforth of this nightmare, of this obvious killing of My Son, ronnie, you know, it started from day one. They knew what happened. The coverup started way back then. Fast forward, September Of 2020 and then were there. Were invited there to see these videos, but they give us only a small portion of it. And then part of it has no sound to it. And then we leave. But the whole time were there, they have already made plans of letting Colonel Reeves retire. They already made plans of was it dakota demoss, Cory York with the 50 hours administrative leave. They already had that planned. So it was like a photo op. Its a big joke for the family of ronald greene. And im so mad. I was so, so mad. Its its here we are. How how are we trying to justify what we clearly see is a murder, and why do we keep this back and forth so that it can be politically correct for those that dont want to get thrown under the bus but theyre going to decide whos going to pay for this while the rest just go on to glory. Thats how i see it, you know, the corruption level. Mona hardin, i appreciate your time and youll be in Baton Rouge lending your voice. Thank you very much for being with us. Thank you.
