Riot defendant saying Charles Donohue is leading the proud boys on January 6th. The video shows him among the rioters and other proud boys preparing their move and pushing and makeshift weapons and a warning that we have a bleep the language, we havent bleeped the language. Because didnt do it for full context. This is news. Okay . This one apparently is from before that violent push. It capture as group of armor clad men outside the capitol. Let not yell that. All right . Milk shake. [ laughter ] idiot. Proud boys. Okay. That was one. Here is another video. It appears to show donohue with his face covered with a Red And White bandanna looking on as others take down four Police Officers blocking a stairwell into the capitol. Well have more on this in just a moment. Okay . So make sure you stay tuned. There is much more to come. Listen to the former President Barack Obama Warning Today that what happened on January 6th is proof Of What can happen if we take democracy for granted. The violence that occurred just a few months ago should remind us that we cant take our democracy for granted. Around the world, weve seen once vibrant democracies go into reverse. Blocking in power for a small group of powerful autographs and Business Interest and blocking out of the political process protesters and Opposition Parties and the voices of ordinary people. It is happening in other places Around The World and these impulses have crept into the united states. We are not immune from some of these efforts to weaken our democracy. The former president of the united States Barack Obama republicans you know they showed us who they are just last month when they refused to allow debate on the January 6th commission. When they sided with the Big Lie and the disgraced twice impeached one term former president who spread that lie, and theyre poised to do it again, tomorrow. Thats when the vote to debate, the debate for the people act comes up as the assault on Voting Rights. The new jim crow spreads across this country and angry Majority Leader Chuck schumer calling out republicans who wont stand up for the most cherished right, the right to vote. Are you afraid to debate it . Do not have any good arguments . You lose an election . Youre not supposed to stop people from voting even if they didnt vote for you. Thats not democracy, my republican friends. While Mitch Mcconnell who lets remember said that hes 100 focused on stopping president Joe Bidens agenda doubling down today vowing to guess what . Kill the bill. They made abundantly clear the real Driving Force behind s 1 is to rig the rules of american elections permanently in Democrats Favor. Thats why the senate will give us this proposal, no quarter. He kind of said it in Democrats Favor but does that really main fairness . Is that in Democrats Favor . Somebody sure wants to rig the rules, right . 14 states have passed 22 new laws restricting voting and there are more in the works. This is a gop that doesnt seem to care about the issues and what is good for america, what is good for our democracy. This is a gop that only cares about one thing and thats winning at all costs, win, win, win. Why else would they support the Big Lie . Even after the insurrection that could have killed them. Why else would they whitewash what happened on January 6th . We all saw with our own eyes, why . Why else would they play see no evil when police trying to defend them from being brutally attacked, why would they do that . Former President Barack Obama blasting republicans for refusing to even talk about Voting Rights. Right now, at least, republicans in the senate are lining up to try to use the filibuster to stop the People F Act from even being debated. In the aftermath of an insurrection with our democracy on the line and many of these same republican senators going along with the notion that somehow there were irregularities and problems with legitimacy in our most recent election, theyre suddenly afraid to even talk about these issues and figure out solutions on the floor of the senate. They dont even want to talk about voting. And thats not acceptable. We know what these efforts to suppress the vote are about. Its about making it harder for black and brown people, many Of Whom will vote for democrats to cast their ballots. Like i said, its a new jim you. Here is the thing, and i just want you to listen to me. Okay . People like to think that we have made a lot of progress in this country on race and some people thought once we elected a black president that racism would somehow magically disappear just like that. Well, it didnt. It did not. There was the Twrrump Backlash with the racist Birther Lie that Barack Obama was not born in this country. Then we got the Big Lie and now the assault on Voting Rights. We havent made as much progress as you would think as people would like to think. And what progress we had made we have made some, dont get me wrong. But the Progress Gweve made is really fragile. A new Study Pfrom the universit of California Berkeley says most areas across this country are more racially segregated in the last 30 years. More segregated, not less. 81 of regions with more than 200,000 residents were more segregated in 2019 than they were in 1990. And thats in spite of fair housing laws and policies to promote integration. So Take A Look at the map. Some of the most segregated areas include, as i have said, one of the most segregated places or polarized places ive lived in my entire life. Chicago. Milwaukee and detroit in the midwest and philadelphia, lived there, too. New york and northern New Jersey in the east. Lived in New York and New Jersey, as well. But chicago, by far, was the most segregated place ive ever lived in. Even more so in my estimation than birmingham, alabama. We havent made as much progress as you think. Juneteenth is a federal holiday and 156 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was read out in galveston, texas and celebrations in milwaukee where senator Ron Johnson didnt get the reception he seemed to expect. The senator that had his nose Out Of Joint said this. This is not how you heal this nation. Boo you come down here to interact with people. You be nice to people. This isnt very nice, is it . Well, and then there is this uncovered by cnn. Ron johnson telling a Radio Interviewer he wants to celebrate juneteenth because its a republican holiday. No, senator, its an american holiday. He went on to say he doesnt want to give federal workers another Day Off like i said, we havent made as much progress as youd like to think. We made some and its something to celebrate especially during pride month. I want to say a big congratulations to carl, a defenseman, the first active Nfl Player in the League History, in League History to announce that he is gay. Whats up, people . Im carl nassib. I want to take a quick moment to say im gay. Ive been meaning to do this for awhile now but i feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest. I have the best life. I have the best family, friends and job a guy could ask for. Im a pretty private person so i hope you know im not doing this for attention. I think Representation And Visibility are so important. I actually hope that like one day videos like this and the whole coming out process are just not necessary but until then ill do my best and my part to cultivate a culture thats accepting and compassionate. Bravo, carl, bravo. Congratulations. Listen to this, he went on to say hes donating 100,000 today trever project, the Suicide Prevention Service for Lgbtq Youth in america and you can reach them, write it down, the number is on your screen. 18664887386. 8664887386. Thats the trever project. Carl, congratulations and happy pride, everyone. Now, i want to turn to Cnns Paula reed because she has more information on the breaking news. Thanks for joining us. The newly released i have owes. What are you seeing in the new videos, paula . What is incredible is there is the first time weve seen evidence related to a major Planning Conspiracy Case in the Capitol Riot investigation. Charles donohue is charged in the case that accuses the leaders of the proud boys of orchestrating breaking into the u. S. Capitol on January 6th. Now prosecutors say and donohue has been coordinatcoordinating, Coordinating Group chats and a trusted lieutenant on January 6th that gave directions to others and actually cheered on allegedly other proud boys and apparently cheered them on while obtaining a Police Riot Shield during the siege. We have a longer clip where you can see Donohues Face is covered with a white Striped Bandanna and looking on as others in the crowd take down four Police Officers walking a stairwell into the capitol. Lets Take A Look. Incredibly disturbing video. Prosecutors believe that was a key moment as the Protrump Crowd violently broke Down Police to mover further into the building. Donohue is being held in jail but seeking to be released. Hes pleaded not guilty. So the significance to show the public . Whats the significance of the release, paula . All of these videos have been released only after a collision of Media Outlets including cnn stopped the tapes from court proceedings. The videos provide one of the first sets of the up close glimpses of exactly what the proud boys were doing as they moved to attack the capitol and don, we know these videos are coming as right wing websites, right wing channels are trying to shift blame for the Capitol Attack away from the president in his supporters. But here you have frame by frame an indisbutputable account Of W happened. Thank you. It a big priority for president Joe Biden and all but certain to fail. What happens next in the battle for Voting Rights . We have to be vigilant in fighting back against attempts by the few to silence the many. And thats why what is happening in the senate this week is so important. Paul loves food. But his diabetes made food a mystery. Everything felt like a no. but then paul went from no to know. With Freestyle Libre 14 day, now he knows how food affects his glucose. And he knows when to make different choices. Take the mystery out of your Glucose Levels and lower your a1c. Now you know.

I discovered my great Aunt Ruth signed up as a Nursing Cadet for World War ii. You see this scannedin, handwritten document. The most striking detail is her age. She was only 17.

Critical top agenda items before the July 4th Break including Voting Rights, Infrastructure And Police reform. Joining me is the former Chief Strategists for President George W bush always a pleasure to have you on. Good evening, sir. Lets talk about Tomorrows Vote, Tomorrows Vote on Voting Rights. Key priority for biden, for the biden agenda. It all decemstin to fail. So whats this all about . Now what, as they say, matthew . Well, to me, were at a point where i mean, we can blame the republicans as you know i have for blocking this and doing this and endangering democracy all along the way but at some point, its on the democrats who have the 50 seat to actually do something about this to save our democracy and to, you know, revisit the idea that the republic and how we stand on Voting Rights and how we stand on having a Majority Rule actually is supposed to be the way it is in place. So my feeling is i dont think there is enough alarm among the democrats that sit in the senate to actually protect our democracy. I noticed that Senator Cinemas has spoken out one more time again and she doesnt want to get rid of the Fufilibuster Bec doesnt want to endanger democracy. To me as i thought about this, its a bit like having a Passenger Boat and saying its about to sink and were only going to make repeers when we get to shor because thats what we we do. Well let the Boat Sink and as you know, don, im a big believe near by part bipartisanship. A healthy relationship is if you trust the person and share the same values. If that doesnt exist, you cant have a relationship and bipartisanship. Listen, every day im sure somewhere in some building people walk by this thing that says Break Glass in case of emergency. Right . And you may walk by it for years and years and years and you never have to break the glass. This is a Break Glass moment in your estimation. Its a complete Break Glass moment this is one of those moments that i think is a kin to what happened in the 1860s and none of us foresaw that to ensure that Slavery Wasnt going to be spread throughout the land. We had to end up going to a Civil War and to repair the union. That was a Break Glass moment in our countrys history. This is one of those moments that everybody has to put all of these old traditions, theyre not in the contusion. The filibuster is not on the contusion. What is in the constitution is they were all supposed to be created equal in the process and all supposed to have an equal vote in this, The American public is and the republicans want to do away with this in that moment. Absolutely and i dont think obviously, this is not going to be something it will be fine. Everybody after January 20th will be fine because Donald Trump is going back to Florida And Everything will be fine. Its worse today. In my view, it is worse today than it was during the four years of president trumps presidency. Thats the problem. I want to share something. It from New York times columnist Charles Blow and here is what he writes. He says democrats, republicans dont want you to win. Its that simple. They want no successes on your watch. I say dispense with the phony narrative democrats are selling, Go Down Screaming and fighting, much of the democratic agenda may be stalled but never stop reminding voters why it is, not because democrats havent compromised enough, because they could never compromise enough. Is he right . Mcconnell previously said 100 of his focus is stopping the biden administration so, you know know, as you said, do they need to stop pretending like republicans will ever come on board and they need more urgency . Well, i think he is right. I think this has been a slow move thats gotten us over the years to this point. Were basically The American public, the majority of The American public is not getting what they want. 80 of the public wants gun reform. Were not getting it. 80 of the public wants a raise in the minimum wage. Were not getting it. 70 of the public wants something done on Climate Change And Real Reform On Client change. Were not getting it done. A marjority of the country want an expansion on health care. It not getting done. It the only thing that allows own voter to hold a politician accountable, which is your vote and once that is compromised, which i think all this legislation does is compromise Peoples Ability to vote and hold somebody accountable, then people can do what they want and thats the situation were in today and i think democrats are still operating, many democrats are still operating as if washington d. C. Is what it was ten or 20 or 30 years ago. Its not. The world has changed and they need to get to where the world is today with the republican party were dealing with now, not the republican party of regan or eisenhower. That is gone. Or even of obama, quite frankly. You know, i think this is weve gone even beyond that. It was bad enough then. You know what Mitch Mcconnell said, i want to make him a one term president. Ive been saying the same sentiment you have that this is just from my Point Of View and what the evidence shows is that quite frankly, republicans are better at politics, especially when it comes to these issues. Im not saying thats good than kem democrats and i think democrats are operating with an old playbook and old narrative so to speak. This is the urgency is just not there. Weve beat up on the democrats enough at least challenged them enough for this segment but what incentive does a gop really have to protect Voting Rights for all people, particularly black and brown communities, matthew . When the gop is showing they dont believe they can win with an expanded electricet . The constitution for moral documents, fundamentally moral documents that express what peoples rights are so the only appeal you can have is doing what republicans do what is morally right, which is giving People Access and the vote and not trying to nullify elections. That to me, the republicans, there is no longer an ability to morally shame the Republicans Today and i think thats the difference between democrats and republicans and ive noticed this over the years but its very true today is republicans have no shame. Zero shame. Zero shame. Zero shame. Democrats, i think, feel Shame Way too much whenever somebody criticizes them, they back off quickly. Im not advocating they go Beyond The Law but they need to follow what the texas democrats did in the legislature who walked out and now whose budget has been defunded by the governor but they thought it was an important moment to do that and to make that stand and i dont think and believe me, don, the democratic party is the only Vehicle Today to protect our republic. It the only Vehicle Today and i think republicans need to suffer devastating losses because thats the only way theyre going to learn. But democrats have to really stand up and speak clearly and be strong about this and not go back into the sort of im on X Subcommittee and i have a meeting today. They need to understand the house is on fire and they got to put the house, the fire break the glass. Do anything else. Break the glass. Break the glass. Listen, ive been Sayining Bipartisanship is performative. It doesnt accomplish anything. I doesnt help the Democracy Or Republic and it time for someone this is a Break Glass moment. As someone who comes from the background that i come from and ancestors that i have and what they had to go to have the right to vote, that should be preserved at all cost, not just for black people or people of african descent but all people in this country. Last word. Don, think of the blood and lives lost to defend the democracy over the years, whether the wars, World War ii. Today is the anniversary of the three civil rights workers trying to get Voting Rights in miss miissippi kidnapped and kid today. They were killed on this day in 1964 with the miss issippi burning movie. How do we honor their legacy not by going to a movie or a quote of martin luther king. We honor their legacy by fighting today. Not performative. They did and died. They put their lives on the line and paid the ultimate price to help to protect, to get people the right to vote. Thank you, matthew. Appreciate your strong stance and i like having you on. So thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thanks, don, take care.

So weve been reporting on this and in a few hours New York City Voter wills head to the polls to choose nominees for mayor. With Covid Infection rates plummeting a surge in violent crime in the cities become the key issue in the campaign so joining me to discuss on New York city mayoral candidate Kathryn Garcia. Glad to have you on. Thank you for joining. Thrilled to be with you. Lets talk about the issues, crimes, like murders, shooting, hate crimes. Were seeing a sharp increase from last year. Crime is still down from its high in the 80s but were seeing a sharp increase in many areas that people are concerned about and should be. Why are you a better choice to tackle this problem than someone like an Eric Adams who has spent his career in Law Enforcement, kathryn . Yeah, ive actually run an agency that had Law Enforcement in it and i have a strong plan for not only dealing with the crime that were seeing today, getting guns off The Street. Ive committed to get 10,000 guns off The Street. Weve seen really hard find videos of kids caught in Cross Fire but also making the investment in communities so that you have a guaranteed job if youre 16 to 24. We have to make sure that were doing the reform required and getting the cultured changed in the nypd. It not a warrior class. Its a Guardian Close for all of our communities and i know im The One to put that in place. Lets be honest, his union didnt even endivorse him. You and Andrew Yang campaigned together tonight. You were out together this weekend. Hes endorsing you telling his voters to rank you on their ballots but youre declinining coendorse him. Why are you joining forces . What is going on . Actually, were saying the same thing weve been saying for months now. And andrew has always been a fan and ive always been respectful of him and this is part Of What this election can be about. How do you i think her her signal froze, if you think you can get It Back, let me know. Otherwise, well continue on and ill move forward. Listen, she might be back. So i said that the theyre voting this week. Are you there, kathryn . Im here. You froze. But were good. Im glad youre back. So listen, lets go back to this Crime Thing and ill talk to you and i have another sound i want to play of Eric Adams. I want to go back to the Crime Thing. You do understand that again, thats the Number One issue and you said we need reforms and Police Departments and so on but thats a big challenge now because people in New York city whether Peel Ople want to hear t or not, reform police. The people want more Police Officers. They dont want to have to look over their shoulder. The video of the Guy Being shot at with the kids falling to the ground and the kids could have been shot. Thats frightening for a lot of New Yorkers. The city can recover economically. Dont bet against New York city. Chances are New York city to be fine. You cannot bring back a life. Look, i can sell an apartment. You can find another apartment. You can buy a stock, sell a stock, thats all well and good but you cant bring a life back and when people are concerned about their safety and the safety of their loved ones, thats a whole other level. So what is your plan . Thats the Number One issue thats all people talk to me about, kathryn. Oh, it the only thing that people are talking to me about, as well, and i lived through the 70s and 80s. We cannot go back to those times. Thats why we need to make sure we are doubling the size of the Nypds Gun Suppression unit. These are the folks that do the hard investigative work that we have real neighbored Hood Policing so were making it there is trust with community because you cant clear crimes, solve them if you dont have trust with communities and that we needed Gun Buyback Program and that is part of my plan to make sure that we are dealing with that specific issue of the rise in Gun Violence because any gun we can get off The Street is a gun that might be one that had been used to hurt someone. And we have to make it so that we are stopping the iron pipeline. There are no gunm manufacturers in New York. Two quick things if you can answer quickly for me. I have the former Police Commissioner Bill Brat Ton on last week and he says that everything that the narrative out there whats happening with Police Reform is hurting. Im not saying its true or not but thats what the former Police Commissioner is saying. Hes saying reforms that happened like bail reform, it really hurting the Crime Rate and causing Crime Rates to spike. He said some people should be in jail at this point. What do you make Of What the former Police Commissioner said. Look, ive run a uniform ag agency. I understand what it takes to motivate people who are part of the uniformed services In The City of New York. Ive done that. I actually got endorsed by my union which is up usual for Labor And Management to get along that well but its about trusting them so they can trust you and making sure were holding everyone accountable. No good cop wants a bad cop getting away with something because it tarnishes everyone and i know how to get that done. So this is what Eric Adams, hes calling your alliance racially motivated and he told my colleague John Berman this today. Watch. Just sends the wrong message. It was on june 19th. Juneteenth a federal holiday just signed into law. They sent a signal as you have all of the africanamerican and hispanic candidates in the race. What message were you sending during this time that were talking about how do you empower various Ethnic Groups in poli politics . Hes a leading democratic conc con contender. Whats he talking about . I want everyone to go out there and vote. I want them to use their Rank Choice vote. 73 of New York city voted for Rank Choice. I am very promaking sure every community has the right to vote. You know, this is personal for me. I come from an adopted family. I was adopted as two were my siblings were who black. Having the right is critical. We have to be advocating across the federal level to make sure were not losing Voting Rights elsewhere. Yeah. Go out tomorrow, please go out and make your voice heard. All right. Let me tell you this. We also need Infrastructure Change here especially when it comes to wifi In The City. We tried to have Eric Adams on and lost him one night because we couldnt get an internet confection. We had an Internet Problem with Maya Wiley and an Internet Problem with you. We hope Thats Part of your priority to make sure you fix the infrastructure as it relates to wireless and, you know, making sure people have connectivity In The City. It important for kids in school. It important for a lot of us. Thank you Kathryn Garcia. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing you again. Good luck. Appreciate the conversation. Sorry about the technical issue. The battle for Voting Rights in this country about to heat up. Former President Barack Obama says democracy is on the line. Well talk. Things you start when youre 45. Coaching. New workouts. And screening for Colon Cancer. Yep. The american Cancer Society recommends screening starting at age 45, instead of 50, since Colon Cancer is increasing in younger adults. Im cologuard®. Im convenient and find 92 of Colon Cancers. Even in early stages. Im for people 45 plus at average risk for Colon Cancer, not high risk. False positive and negative results may occur. Ask your provider if cologuard is right for you. President Barack Obama makes a major push for voting legislation saying the democracy is on the line. The violence that occurred in the u. S. Capitol on January 6th just a few months ago should remind us that we cant take our democracy for granted. Around the world, weve seen once vibrant democracies go in the reverse. Locking in power for a small autographs and Business Interests and blocking out the political process. Disdan Dis Disdents and protesters and its happening at other places Around The World and these voices crept into the quunited states. Were not immune from some of these efforts to weaken our democracy. Someone who has done the work on all of this, right after the break latosha brown, black Voters Matter next. You to sell.

President obama is making a big push for Voting Rights legislation. Natasha brown is the founder of black Voters Matter. Natasha, im so happy youre here. I know its very busy since you started your campaign. Good evening. Let me get your reaction to what were wearing from former President Barack Obama. Youre one of the people on the battle lines, fighting against these attempts to suppress the vote. I think hes absolutely right. I think that we all know that the republicans are you know, the fact that they would even use the filibuster to stop debate really talks about that there is no interest in passing Voting Rights or even being supportive of Voting Rights. Theyve taken the role of just being obstructionists. They dont fundamentally believe in the Value And Principle of democracy. The biggest Fight Weve had in our lifetime is really now, around who is going to have the courage to stand in the Space And Fight for democracy, expanding democracy in this country. So i dont even think this is an issue that should be a partisan issue. I think this is a people issue. This is really around, you know, at certain times in our nations history, you set the course, you set the tone Of What is the character of a nation. Right . And are we still, here we are in 2021, 37 years past when there were three young men killed just for trying to register people to vote. Thats the save kind of energy that the republicans are holding up to stop Voting Rights in this country and really lead in the voter suppression. Im glad you say that because Voting Rights is not about ideology, its not about left and right. This is a fundamental american right, the right to vote. There is nothing thats more patriotic and nothing that says america more than giving everyone as much access, equal access to the Voting Box and as much access as possible. I think it should be a national holiday so people can have a Day Off and be able to vote. But thats a whole other show we can talk about. A little bit more about the former president , he talked about the republicans using the filibuster to stop the Voting Rights legislation. What does it say to you that republicans are using the filibuster, a senate tool, quite frankly, with a racist history, to stop legislation that would protect Voting Rights for black and brown community . Theyre using the filibuster for the same reason it was designed for, to stop progress in this country. The filibuster was created to stop civil rights legislation. And here we are again in 2021 at the same place. The question is are the democrats going to end the filibuster so we can move forward in this nation . Are we going to have the courage to do the right thing . Are we going to have the courage to make sure were supporting democracy . Are we going to show up for black voters like black voters showed up in this last Election Cycle . We are at a critical moment, a defining moment Of What it is we really believe and what we stand for as a nation. Why are we even having a conversation . We need bipartisanship. We know at the end of the day any reasonable person that has any integrity knows what is happening, that this is quite frankly a party that has been corrupt, a party basing all of this on a Big Lie that essentially a punitive measure to punish folks for participating in the political process. Why not make access stronger so people have equal access . Amen to you. How long were you on the bus for the 2020 election . How long were you out and about . Technically we were actually on a bus for four years. We had a little break because of covid but then we jumped right in It Back in june and we have been nonstop. Since the world opened back up, we have been nonstop. Listen, there are people who fought and died for the right to vote. We fundamentally believe in democracy. If it was a republican trying to stop voting, or a democrat or a libertarian, i would fight for their right to vote. I should be able to make an impact on any decision that is going to be about me and my family and i share that belief around every single human being, whether i agree with them or not. All right. Im going to let you continue on here. Were not cutting you off. You were in Atlanta Tonight for Voting Rights, your Bus Tour. You remember the Fulton County Absentee ballots being counted late into the night there on camera and all those things we saw, the efforts around suppression.
