The Justice Department releasing horrifying new Body Camera Video of the January 6th attack. Prosecutors say the man you see In The Red Jacket is a former marine and a former new York City police officer. He is part of the violent Mob Rushing Police Officers and tackling them to the ground. So why are republicans still trying to pretend the rioters werent a threat . Plus the supreme court upholding obamacare for the third time, protecting Health Care for millions of americans. And president Joe Biden signing a Bill Making Juneteenth A Federal Holiday to commemorate The End of slavery in the united states. Lets get to one of the people in the Room Today when the president signed the Bill Making Juneteenth A Federal Holiday, and Thats Congressman Colin allred of texas, and he joins me now. Congressman, good evening. Thank you. Thats a big smile you have there, so its good to see you. Look, youre from texas where juneteenth got its start. You stood there in the White House, a house built by slaves, where The First Black Female vp spoke before, you know, the current president , who everybody issed served under the first Black President , signing that bill. You know who was also there was Opal Lee, who i know so many americans are just now getting to know, but ive known for some time because shes from fort worth, right next to my home here in dallas. Miss Opal Lee has been marching and pushing for juneteenth to be a holiday for so long. And as with so many things, black women made this happen, whether its Miss Opal Lee at 94 years old, or whether Sheila Jackson Lee, my colleague in texas who was the cosponsor of this and who introduced this bill. It was a day of history. I think President Biden said it right. It will be one of the greatest honors of his presidency creating this holiday. I think Sheila Jackson Lee said to me once, this was like 12 years in the making. Its been a long time that she has been fighting to get this done. Lets listen to President Biden just before signing the bill. Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of Slavery And Subjugation and a promise of a brighter morning to come. This is a day of profound in my view, profound weight and profound power, a day which we remember the moral stain, the terrible toll that slavery took on the country and continues to take. What ive long called americas original sin. At the same time, i also remember the extraordinary capacity to heal and to hope and to emerge from those painful moments and a bitter, bitter version of our self, to make a better version of ourselves. 14 of your republican colleagues voted against making juneteenth a Federal Holiday. Some of them say that the holiday is divisive or some kind of ploy to make critical Race Theory the prevailing ideology of the country, reexamining how we present our history is a hot Button Issue now. Are you surprised that this is a Wedge Issue . I am. I am because i think what the president said there is right. That great nations dont shy away from their mistakes. They embrace them, and they learn from them. You know, Senator John Cornyn from texas, who i certainly dont agree with on everything, said today that, you know, america is the greatest nation on earth, but were not perfect. And we have to strive to be a more perfect union. Thats what i think all of this is about. The greatness of our Country Isnt that weve been infallible. Its that weve tried to address the mistakes that weve made, that weve modified, amended our constitution, changed our society. We are a much, much, much different country than we were 156 years ago when the slaves na galveston, texas, finally found out about president lincolns decree. The people in order to form a more perfect union, not a perfect union, right . We keep striving for that every single day because there is no perfection. Nothing is perfect. Thats the whole idea of the country. Listen, President Biden says that the next step is to deliver on equity. He mentioned housing, education, and more importantly, Voting Rights, right . Most importantly as a matter of fact. Are you concerned about the fate of Voting Rights there in congress . You know, i think we got some great news today. I really do, with Senator Manchin releasing, you know, his plan. And i think that its something that we can work with. It meets the criteria that i as a voting Rights Lawyer have always believed we have to do, which is number one, make it easy to register to vote, make sure votes can vote early and by mail on Election Day without interference, and make sure votes are counted and not diluted through gerrymandering. It has all of that in it. The first step was to make sure we enough democrats in the senate to agree to something. Now weve got to get that past the filibuster. Opal lee, when i saw her today, Miss Opal Lee, i told her this is all because of you. She said, we cant stop here, and i agree with her. We cant stop there. Shes right. Happy juneteenth. Thank you, congressman. I appreciate it. Absolutely. Happy juneteenth. Now i want to bring in charlie dent, a former republican congressman, and jim messina, former deputy white House Chief of staff. Gentlemen, good evening to you. Let me say happy juneteenth to both of you as well. Jim, a big win at the white House Today with that signing ceremony. But, you know, weve got a battle ahead on Voting Rights. Joe manchin is trying to get support for his compromise proposal. On the democratic side, Stacey Abrams came out and said she supports it. But of Course Mcconnell is already trashing it. If the Gop Wont Support Manchins Compromise and Manchin Wont Ditch the filibuster, is that it for Voting Rights . No, i dont think so. I think this is going to be the moment where you see the Democratic Party have to reckon with, you know, what were going to do here. Don, we just had the highest Voter Turnout in 100 years in a president ial election, and the response to that in State Capitol after State Capitol is not to celebrate it and say, hey, isnt It Great that were all Coming Together In Democracy . Its to make it more difficult to vote here, and theyre passing bills that are, you know, in my opinion unconstitutional. But even if they are constitutional, they are designed to do one thing, and that is make sure that we dont have the kind of turnout we had last time. So i think today i agree with congressman allred. Today was a very big step because joe manchin, the most moderate matter of the democratic senate, came out and said, this is what i can live with. This is how we can move this forward. And i think its an incredibly big moment. And then the question is, if youre Mitch Mcconnell and you want to trash this and you want to go right after it, you know, is this really the fight you want . Is this the legacy you want . Apparently it is. But i think its going to come to a point where democrats are going to say, if we Cant Move forward on something like this, you know, why do we have these senate rules . And is it time to make a change . This could be the issue. You and i have been talking about this for a year, don. This could be the issue that finally forces the real discussion about is there a new way to run the united States Senate . Charlie, sources telling cnn that leader schumer told democrats there will be a vote on tuesday to break the filibuster and an open debate on Voting Rights. He doesnt have the votes right now, so give us the strategy here. What do you think it is . Well, i think hes putting down a marker clearly, and hes youre going to find out where people are. I mean hes going to lose the vote. If i were Senator Schumer right now, i would recommend that he pivot to dealing with the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. I think that the democrats frankly have overreached on the for the people act. There are some good aspects to that legislation, but there are problems with that bill. And manchin has pointed that out among others. So i think that the voting Rights Act bill should be the one they should be focused on. Theyve got an Infrastructure Deal coming. You know, at least the first step. And theres police reform. They got a lot on their plate. But right now just pivot to the voting Rights Act in John Lewis name. Thats the best thing they could do. I want you to take a listen to what Vladimir Putin said about Biden Today after the summit yesterday. Translator this image of President Biden which is pictured by russian and u. S. Media does not correspondent to reality. This image of him can feel discouraging, but there is no need to be discouraged because President Biden is a professional, and he should be very precise while working with him to not miss anything. He doesnt miss a thing. I repeat once again. He is focused. He understands what he wants to achieve and reaches it very skillfully. You can easily feel it. So the u. S. Media that hes referring to is clearly rightwing propaganda, but why do you think putin is pushing back on it and praising biden like this . Because i think that president putin, like President Biden, they both know that u. S. Russia Relations are at a low point and that there are very low expectations for what came out of that meeting. But they need to establish a rapport. They need open lines of communication, and they at least need to have some conversations that are frank and candid. Beyond that, things arent going to change much, but i think there has to be some level of respect. I mean russia is not in a good place with respect to the u. S. And i think Joe Biden clearly articulated our concerns with russian behavior in recent years. Joe biden didnt make any mistakes. I mean he didnt he didnt throw the u. S. Intelligence community under the bus like President Trump did in helsinki. Bottom line, i think putin knows he needs a better relationship with the u. S. And frankly we need a better relationship with russia even though theyve been involved with some very malign behavior in recent years. Jim, you played a key role in making obamacare a reality. Your former boss, barack obama, responded to the supreme Court Today tweeting this, and i quote. This ruling reaffirms what we have long known to be true. The affordable Care Act is here to stay. Are you confident that hes right . I am confident that he is finally right. Three United States Supreme Court decisions, 71 attempts by the republicans in congress to repeal it, and i finally think that we are past it. Now, Approval Rating of obamacare is 55 . Only 34 disapprove. Thats basically the base of the republican party. You know, we may see some other attempts, but we are finally to a place where we can agree its the law of the land, and the supreme court is not going to overturn it. And we can actually go and do what everyone, congressman dent, everyone else has said for a while is make it better and find ways to continue to increase Peoples Coverage and their rights in Health Care. And i could not have been any happier. When we are off the air, don, i will be having a cocktail to celebrate another victory in the long as my mom would say, aint that some you know w what ish. Rhymes with chit. All right. Thank you, both. Ill see you soon. So it turns out tomorrow is a brandnew Federal Holiday, and that set off a scramble nationwide as governments and offices need to figure out really what to do, and they have to do it overnight. Lets get the details now from Cnn Correspondent kristen holmes. Hi, kristen. Good to see you. Reporter hi, don. How are you . Im doing well. So the president signed the Bill Today. This happened very quickly. Signed the Bill Today and because juneteenth is just two days away on saturday, it will be observed tomorrow by the federal government. So now what . Reporter well, look, thats been the big question for the federal government, for agencies that weve spoken to, for state and local officials as well as private companies, really for the last 12 hours. We always knew there was going to have to be some maneuvering to add a Federal Holiday. This hasnt been done since 1983 with Martin Luther King day. But Com Fpound all of that with the fact they were given less than a 24hour notice. I spoke to someone earlier this evening who said while they work for a private company, they still had no idea what was going to happen with their Meetings Tomorrow Morning because they were set to take place at a federal building. So a lot of complications here. Now, the federal government and the biden administration said that most federal employees will have off tomorrow. But i have to tell you, when i reached out to specific agencies as to what exactly that would look like, i was bounced around for hours. I still dont know what the Department Of Education is doing in terms of tomorrow. And then theres this whole aspect of the state and local governments, which has been an entire mess of its own. Some of these states are in the clear. Maryland, nebraska, missouri, they say that their public officials, or at least most of them, will have off tomorrow. But states like california, it was just too late. Officials there telling us that in order to have a Federal Holiday or have this holiday in the state, it had to be approved by some sort of legislation. So what youre really seeing here is a piecemeal solution. Places like the stock market, theyre remaining open. They say theyll reassess next year. D. C. Is shutting down. However. They are allowing construction, something thats usually halted when there is a Federal Holiday, because they just say its too late. But i will say one thing here, which is every agency, every private company, every single State Official that we talked to said that while this year was a little bit messy, they will be ready next year. One thing is for sure, and i know this to be true, not because ive witnessed it, but i just know. The bars will be packed tonight because the countrys opening back up, and tomorrow is a holiday. I do know that that will be true. Thank you very much, kristen. I appreciate your reporting. They want you to think that it was antifa. No. Actually they say it was tourists or a vast conspiracy by the fbi. But with so much evidence on video for all to see, why wont the Gop Call January 6th what it was, a violent and deadly assault on the capitol . Spots . Its not your dishwashers fault. Simply add Finish Jetdry 3in1 to rinse, dry and shine your dishes. Solve 3 problems at once with Finish Jetdry 3in1. Not touching is still touching protection. Adding Lysol Laundry Sanitizer kills 99. 9 of bacteria. Detergent alone, cant. Lysol. What it takes to protect. The Justice Department releasing dramatic and frightening new Body Cam Video of the capitol insurrection. It shows a man who prosecutors have identified as a former marine and a retired new York City police officer. His name is thomas webster, rushing officers while wielding a flagpole. Here it is. And a warning, disturbing, some foul language, hard to watch. Take your shit off. Take your shit off. So despite all the evidence of what happened that day, republicans and the rightwing media are pushing a Conspiracy Theory that the fbi orchestrated the capitol riots. I want to bring in now cnns legal and national Security Analyst Asha rangappa, a former fbi special agent, and political commentator amanda carpenter. Good evening to both of you. You think, weve seen all the disturbing video from that day, and then they release the next one, and its worse than the one before. Asha, looking at this new video, its just all the more outrageous that some republican lawmakers are lying about the capitol insurrection. Theyre trying to whitewash what happened. Look, its not over. Theres this twisted Conspiracy Theory that the fbi orchestrated the riot. As a former fbi agent, right, set the record straight. Is that crazy . What is that . Well, don, of all the Conspiracy Theories ive heard so far, the theory that the government tried to overthrow itself, is certainly creative. But, look, we know this is not true. If it were, these republicans would be onboard with a commission to get to the bottom of it. But heres the thing. They know its not true. We know its not true. They know we know its not true. So what we need to do is analyze this not for its Falsity Or Veracity but really how its being used as a propaganda tactic. And what this is, is its really a Bonding Mechanism with their base. This is a wink and a nod. Its saying, hey, look, heres the next whopper im going to tell. Watch me. And guess what . We have your back. We have your back no matter what. Were going to make sure this whole thing gets confused and, you know, this whole thing gets muddied. And in turn the base has their back. We need to think of this as a loyalty, you know, Test And Proof that is going on between these lawmakers and their constituents, and thats why these theories are just going to get crazier and crazier. Amanda, you know very few republicans are speaking out today. One of them is representative peter meyer, condemning the fbi Conspiracy Theory, tweeting, not peaceful, not let in by police, not antifa, not fbi. Cant believe i have to say that. January 6th was not whatever ridiculous conspiracy or whitewashing explanation liars are peddling. It was what it was, a violent attempt to stop the constitutional transfer of power. So it seems like when one lie doesnt work, the people pushing this garbage just move on to another lie. But doesnt the video tell the story, or shouldnt it . Listen, first it was antifa. Then it was a peaceful protest. Now its some Inside Job. Dont forget the tourists. Oh, yeah, peaceful tourists, peaceful protests, several iterations of that. Peter meyer, its said that a republican congressman has to do this, but he does. And hes one of the few people that is doing it. I mean, don, when Tucker Carlson and Fox News started spewing this idea that this is an Inside Job by the fbi, not, you know, an Inside Job by the president and the people who are carrying flags with the president s name and cheering the president on when tucker said that, i dont even think its the worst thing that Tucker Carlson has said. I think its one of the worst things that Fox News has ever aired. To think that the fbi did this and this is some secret coup against Donald Trump is one of the sickest, saddest conspiracies that has been brought to the mainstream. I mean i i dont want to overplay this, but it is extremely serious how far theyre taking this. I mean i just want to tell viewers, get comfortable with the footage that you just saw because its going to be aired again and again and again because this is going to take years to prosecute the hundreds of people that invaded the capitol that day. Its going to take a long time to go through all the people that plotted this. Theyre going to fight it every inch of the way in court. You think this is going to play in the midterms in 2022 . Its going to go till 2024. Its just i mean its just unbelievable, and the behavior of these people, its embarrassing. Its just its the worst of human behavior. Asha, 21 republican congressmen voted against awarding a Gold Medal to the officers who defended the capitol. I want you to listen to what sandra garza, the partner of fallen officer brian sicknick, what she said about that just a short time ago. Its despicable, and theyre all cowards. They could never do what the officers did that day. I loved what you said earlier on too about them kissing Donald Trumps ring. If theyre going to kiss anybodys rings, it should be the officers that were there that day that saved their butts. Is that vote a slap in the face to all Law Enforcement . Its absolutely a slap in the face, and its also a tell, don. If they Cant Vote for honoring these Police Officers because it would be an affront to former president Donald Trump, then its because former president Donald Trump thought that these officers got in the way of something that he wanted to succeed. I mean, you know, you have to follow the logic of this. I mean i havent heard any other explanation that makes sense for why they wouldnt do this. And so this is basically, again, backing the purpose behind this insurrection, which was to, you know, overthrow the government, overthrow the rule of law. That is what they are aligning themselves with, and Law Enforcement is there to enforce the rule of law. So this is this is a pretty clear dichotomy, and we need to understand it that way. Thank you both. I appreciate it. So juneteenth is now officially a holiday, but my next guest says this is the only place where you ask for justice but you get a holiday. Hmm. I love talking to this next person. There he is, d. L. Hughley, next. Unlike ordinary memory supplements, Neuriva Plus fuels six key indicators of Brain Performance. More Brain Performance . Yes, please neuriva. Think bigger. Do you have a Life Insurance Policy you no longer need . Now you can sell your policy, even a term policy, for an immediate cash payment. Call Coventry Direct to learn more. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized that we needed a way to supplement our income. Our friends sold their policy to help pay for their medical bills and that got me thinking. Maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. Im skeptical, so i did some research and called Coventry Direct. They explained Life Insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. We learned that we can sell all of our policy or keep part of it with no future payments, who knew . We sold our policy. Now we can relax and enjoy our retirement as we had planned. If you have One Hundred Thousand Dollars or more of Life Insurance you may qualify to sell your policy. Dont cancel or let your Policy Lapse without Finding Out what its worth. Visit conventrydirect.

Hey ma, how are you doing . Im doing good, how are you . Good. We are just on our way back from the beach. Shes not thinking about her next appearance or even her book tour. No, shes thinking about something more important. And thankfully so is her automobile. The safest, most technologically advanced car we have ever introduced. Cares for what matters. The new sclass. From mercedesbenz. Okay. I know youre going to enjoy this segment, so pay attention. President Joe Biden making it official. From now on this country will commemorate june 19, 1865, juneteenth, as The End of slavery in the united states. But comedian d. L. Hughley is skeptical about this new Federal Holiday. I should say hes also an author. Hes very prolific. The author of how to survive america, and he joins me now. D. L. , good to see you. Whats up, Young Man . Good to see you today. All right in. Im doing great. I know youre doing great as well. I want to get your take on juneteenth becoming a Federal Holiday because you tweeted, america is the only place on earth where you ask for justice but you get a holiday. What were you thinking . Right. Well, ultimately its this. Have you ever got something, you ordered something online. They send you something that wasnt quite what you ordered, but its dope, so you keep it. But it doesnt change the fact that you want what you ordered. What we ordered is justice. Its dope that we got juneteenth. But what we and then if they i wish that they would kind of category it correctly. It wasnt The End of slavery. It was two years after slavery. Right. And we found out. So it was two years that the government was complicit in letting black slaves in texas be in bondage. So almost everything that happens here is if you look under the surface of it, it covers up some pretty heinous things. So i think that its horrible that we could get 50 senators to vote on juneteenth 100 senators to vote on juneteenth but not 50 to vote on the antilynching bill. I think that is horrible that we can get 100 senators to vote, you know, on juneteenth but not george floyd. And i think its crazy that we got a holiday that is, you know, the abolition of slavery where more White People will be off on that day than black people. Like so it was crazy. Dr. Kings birthday, same thing. This is a point that i think everybody should be off that day except i think black people should be off and White People should have to go to work. I think thats the way it would be fair. He is a comedian, everyone. But i think theres some seriousness. And hes got his cocktail. So, listen absolutely. Do you think there was such unanimous support because by doing this, right, commemorating slavery, that is deemed like, oh, this is something thats in the past and we shouldnt worry about absolutely. Yep. You cant want to teach you cant want to celebrate juneteenth, which is The End of slavery, but not want to teach it in your schools. White people are going to have a hell of a time explaining why we have a Day Off and who those dudes are in The Park, bronze statues are in The Park with swords. So they want to keep the remnants of a horrible time, the monuments of a horrible time, but they dont want to talk about it. There are way more statues to robert e. Lee and Andrew Jackson than there will ever be to jesus. All you have to do to get a statue in america is be brutal to black people. They want those statues. They want the connection to the confederacy. They want the connection to their forefathers, but they dont want the stigma associated. Yeah. Listen, lets talk about your book because i dont want to run out of time before we talk about your book because its amazing. No, seriously, because youre here to sell books and the message in your book is very important. How to survive america. You say that minority populations wake up every day in a battle for their health and safety. The very air they breathe is more polluted. Their water is more contaminated. Their jobs are underpaid. This is from the president at todays juneteenth announcement, and it sounds very familiar. Our Health Care system and ensuring that equity is at the heart of our fight against the pandemic. And the water that comes out of our faucets and the air that we breathe in our communities. And our Justice System so that we can fulfill the promise of america for all people, all of our people. Sounds like somebody at the White House read your book. Seriously, what is it going to take for the country to seriously tackle these issues . To stop pretending like they dont exist. Either either we are incredibly either black people are morally bankrupt and we deserve these things and we bring these things on our self, or america is done some pretty monstrous things. And i think theres no almost everything that happens to black people in america, invariably theres blame associated with them. Even if you look at what happened during the pandemic, you had someone from the administration come on tv and basically tell black people, even though it was ravaging the world, not to drink, smoke, and eat, that some kind of way, it was our failings that predisposed us to it and not the air we breathe and not the lack of opportunities we dont have access to. Because if you could work from home or if you had some distance from my wife just walked in. Your dog is agreeing with you. If you had some distance from the virus, then you were a lot safer. But if you had to go to work, if you had to be on a boat, if you had to be in prison, if you had to be at work, if you had to be in a meatpacking plant, if you had to be in close proximity to somebody, if you live in a multigenerational home, you didnt get to socially distance. And even the prescriptions, like even wearing a mask, they had to send a memo out for the federal government saying, hey, black people are going to be wearing bandannas. I dont think theyre trying to rob the bank. I think theyre trying to not catch covid. I think everything thats happened to us has happened to us before. If you look at the fact that the Spanish Flu killed disproportionately as many black people, you know, if you project that out as this is, so i think theres always been in indifference toward black suffering and Black Death and brown death in this country. And its always this finger saying, you did it. Its your fault. Its your fault and not that there are Food Deserts and how people got placed in the environments that theyre placed in. Listen, before we because your dog took some of your time, okay . What do people need to know about what it takes to survive in america as a black person . I think you got to be lucky. You got to remember, were supposed to be a judeochristian society, but when the government took over and everything shut down, everything was gone. Churches were closed, but Liquor Stores were open. You can zoom jesus but not jack daniels. I got to go. What are you drinking . Thank you, man. A little what is this . Casa azul. Its tequila. Happy juneteenth to you. Im holding up my cup and im ch cheersing you. Juneteenth is the day i passed out on tv. All right, man. Take care. Make sure you get the book. It is d. L. Hughley, the author of how to survive america. So he got an nfl contract, but the navy says that he cant play. Cameron kinley wants to fulfill his Childhood Dream and serve his country. Hes here with me next. Cameron kinley is the navys 2021 Class President , football captain, and he just signed with super Bowl Champion Tampa bay buccaneers. But the navy says that he Cant Delay his service to play even though they have made that exception for others. Cameron kinley joins me now along with Ryan Williams Jenkins who is the cofounder of divine sports and entertainment. Gentlemen, its so good to have you on. Thanks for joining. Cameron, im going to start with you. You had two dreams, to be in the navy and to play football. You got a chance to be on a pro team, but the navy says no to a waiver. How are you feeling about that . Hey, thank you for having me tonight, don. Its definitely been tough the past couple weeks dealing with the decision and being so close to accomplishing one of your Childhood Dreams and having it taken away from you. You know. I thought i was going to have the chance to do both, plaso it been kind of tough dealing with my emotions these past two weeks. The Acting Secretary of the navy is defending his decision to deny your request. Take a look at this. I looked at this case. I looked at the significant investment the taxpayers make in every midshipman and our expectation and their expectation is that midshipmen will graduate and commission in the marine corps. I made the decision to deny his request. The legislation allows us to make exceptions when its a significant benefit to the service. And for us, David Robinson and roger staubach, they both served first and they were recognized as graduates who had served in the military, and that added value to us. But Robinson And Stau bach were in this situation decades ago and Malcolm Perry was given an exception just last season to play for the dolphins. Why do you think Camerons Case is so different . Whats different . Yeah, don, great question. Thats what were asking. We want to know whats different between Cameron Kinley and John Rod abegin or nolan Rof Lynn B berg, same class as Cameron Kinley. We would like to know whats different. Theres a directive, an order that is in place that came out october 19th, 2020, and its under we are in that directive right now. What were trying to figure out is why that directive is not being used on behalf of Cameron Kinley. The secretary of the navy, thomas harker, would reconsider his decision because right now the Decision Isnt in the best interest of Cameron Kinley or the navy. Cameron, listen. To be clear, youre not looking to sidestep your naval commitment. You just want to push it back. Explain why timing is an issue for you. Right. Its never been about avoiding my commitment. I came to the Naval Academy to be the best officer that i can become. This opportunity presented it itself, and i know i would look back with regrets if i didnt pursue it. The opportunity was fulfilled. I was signed by the Tampa Bay buccaneers and i was going to have the opportunity to fulfill both of these dreams and serve as an ambassador. Time is of the essence with Training Camp starting july 24th. If i dont have any new decision by then, then theres no way for me to go back down there in Tampa Bay. During my time down there in tampa, i wasnt getting any questions about football and who do we play in navy, but it was all about the military and the Naval Academy and my experiences. So i was already having that opportunity to serve as an ambassador for the navy and to recruit. I would just like to be able to continue to do that in the future. Its just an honest question. Doing the research, four other graduates from academies like West Point and the air force, they have been allowed to forgo their service commitments this year. Theyre up on the screen right there. Is there a difference between their requests and yours . The only difference in our request is that i go to the Naval Academy and theyre in different branches. So its definitely unique that my situation did not get handled the same way, and i would just like the same opportunity. You even tried to get Vice President Kamala Harris Support on your graduation day. Tell me about that. Yeah. So after i gave my speech at graduation, i kind of went over to Vice President harris, and i thanked her for attending the ceremony. She had some kind words. I looked her in the eyes, and i said, hey, maam, i might need your help with a situation. I know you Cant Talk too much right now, but ill definitely try to get in touch with your office. She said that was fine and that she would be willing to help. So hopefully sometime soon we can connect. Fingers crossed, right . Ryan, Cameron Needs A Lastminute Reversal from the navy, but i mean you Cant Appeal this decision. Why is that . Well, theres no Appeal Process in place for this directive. So what were asking is that the secretary the Acting Secretary of the navy reconsider the decision. And were asking that he send it up to the secretary of defense, who is the final authority on this decision. But there is no reason outside of that the directive does not allow an appeal for this process. Well, ryan, thank you. Cameron, Best Of Luck to you. Both of you, please keep us updated. Wed like to if there is some movement on this, wed like you to come back so we can report it. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. Thank you. Well be right back. Dad, why didnt you answer your phone . Your mother loved this park. She did. Did you know Prilosec Otc can stop frequent heartburn before it begins .
