We are going to begin Tonight with some Breaking News. Justice department releasing three videos used in a federal Court Case against a Capitol Riot defendant. His name is Charles Donoghue. He is accused of leading the proud boys in the insurrection, on January 6th. The videos show him among the rioters and other proud boys preparing their moves. Then, pushing into the capitol with makeshift weapons. And a warning that we havent bleeped the language, okay . We havent bleeped the language. I am going to slow down a little bit, just in case, you want to get some kids Out Of the room or what have you. We didnt do it because we want to give you full context. This is reality. This is news. Okay . This one, apparently, is from before that violent push. It captures a group of armorclad Men Milling outside the capitol. Here it is. Take the fucking capitol. Tighten up. Tighten up. Lets not fucking yell that. All right . Milkshake. You know . Idiot. Okay. That was one. Here is another video. It appears to show donoghue with his face covered with a redandwhite bandana, looking on as others in the crowd take down four Police Officers. Blocking a stairwell into the capitol. We are going to have more on this, in just a moment. Okay . So make sure you stay tuned. There is much more to come. But listen to the former president. This is formerpresident 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 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 oncevibrant democracies go in the reverse. A small group of powerful autocrats and Business Interests and locking out, of the political process, dissidents and protestors 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 january6th commission. When they sided with the Big Lie, and the disgraced, twiceimpeached, oneterm, former president , who spread that lie. And they are poised to do it, again, tomorrow. Thats when the vote to debate for the debate for the for the people act comes up as the assault on Voting Rights. The new jim crow spreads all across this country. And angry Majority Leader Chuck schumer calling out cowardly republicans who wont Stand Up for what might be our most cherished right and thats the right to vote. Are you afraid to debate it . Do you not have any good arguments . You lose an election, Ayoure Nt supposed to stop people from voting even if they didnt vote for you. Well, Mitch Mcconnell, who, lets remember, said that he is 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 a desire to rig the rules of american elections, permanently. Permanently, in Democrats Favor. Thats why the senate will give this disastrous proposal no order. He kind of said it in Democrats Favor. But fairness . Is that whats in Democrats Favor . Well, somebody sure wants to rig the rules, right . 14 states have, already, passed at least 22 new laws restricting voting. And there are more, in the works. But this is a gop that really doesnt seem to care about the issues. They dont seem to care about whats good for america, whats 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 killed them . Why else would they whitewash what happened on January 6th . What we all saw with our own eyes. Why . Why else would they play see no evil when police who were trying to defend them from trying to defend them from being brutally attacked . Why would they do that . Formerpresident Barack Obama also blasting republicans to refuse 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 for the people act from even being debated. Think about this. 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. So, and we know what these efforts to suppress the vote are all 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, it is a new jim crow. 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 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 trump backlash. The election of the man who started his political career, with the Racistbirther 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 have made, we have made some. Lets dont get me wrong. But the Progress Weve made is really fragile. A new study from the university of California Berkeley finds that mostmajor metropolitan areas all across this country have become 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 fairhousing 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 i have ever lived in my entire life was 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 i ever lived in. Even more so, in my estimation, than birmingham, alabama. I lived there, as well. Or st. Louis, missouri. So like i said, we havent made as much progress as you might think. Sure, juneteenth is now a federal holiday, 156 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was read out in galveston, texas. There were celebrations across the country this weekend. Including in milwaukee, where senator Ron Johnson did not get the reception that he seemed to expect. Nobody wants you here so, the senator who apparently had his nose Out Of joint saying this. This is not how you heal this nation. You come down here and you try and interact with people. You you be nice to people. This isnt very nice, is it . Well, and then, there is this. Uncovered by cnns kfile. Ron johnson telling a Radio Interviewer that he wants to celebrate juneteenth, because its a republican holiday. No, senator, its an american holiday. He went on to say that he doesnt want to give federal workers another day off. Like i said, we havent made as much progress as youd like to think. But we have made some. We really have. And its really something to celebrate, especially during pride month. I want to say a Big Con congratulations to carl nassib, a defensive lineman with the Las Vegas raiders. The firstactive Nfl Player in the league history, in league history, to announce that he is gay. Whats up, people . Im carl nassib. I am at my house here in west chester, pennsylvania. Just want to take a quick moment to say that i am gay. I have been meaning to do this for a while now. But i finally feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest. I really have the best life. I have the best family, friends, and job a guy could ask for. I am a pretty private person so i hope you guys know i am really not doing this for attention. I just think that Representation And Visibility are so important. I actually hope that, like, one day, videos like this and the whole Comingout Process are just not necessary. But until then, you know, i am going to do my best and do my part to cultivate a culture thats accepting, thats compassionate. Bravo, carl. Bravo. Congratulations. And listen to this. He went on to say that he is donating 100,000 to the trevor project. The Suicideprevention Service for lgbtq youth in america. And you can reach them, write it down. The number is up on your screen, if you would like to help as well. 18664887386. 8664887386. Thats the trevor project. Carl nassib, congratulations. And happy pride, everyone. Now, i want to turn to Cnns Paula Reid because shes got some more information on our Breaking News Tonight. Thanks for joining us. Those newlyreleased videos on the capitol insurrection. She is here to tell us about that. What are you seeing in these Vi Videos Paula . This is the first time we have seen evidence related to a major Planning Conspiracy Case in the Capitol Riot investigation. Now, Charles Donoghue is charged in a case that accuses the leaders of the proud boys of orchestrating breaking into the u. S. Capitol on January 6th. Now, prosecutors say donoghue has been coordinating, was coordinating Group Chats and was a Trustedsenior Lieutenant on January 6th who gave directions to others and actually cheered on, allegedly, other proud boys. And apparently, cheered them on while obtaining a Policeriot Shield during the siege. Now, we have a longer clip where you can see donoghue. His face is covered with a whitestriped bandana and he is looking on as others in the crowd take down four Police Officers walking the stairwell into the capitol. Lets Take A Look. Fuck you fuck you fuck you incredibly disturbing video there. Now, don, prosecutors have made it clear. They believe that was a key moment, as the Protrump Crowd violently Broke Down police to move further into the building. Now, donoghue is being held in jail but he is seeking to be released. He has pleaded not guilty. So the significance. Is it to show the public . What is the significance of the release, paula . All these videos have been release, only after a coalition of Media Outlets including cnn sought the tapes from court proceedings. Just havent been released publicly. The videos also provide one of the first sets of these upclose 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 rightwing websites, rightwing channels are trying to shift blame for the capitol attack, away from the president and his supporters. But here, you have, Frame By frame, an indisputable account of exactly what happened on that day. Paula, thank you so much. With the Breaking News Tonight. You know, it is a big priority for president Joe Biden and its all but certain to fail. What happens, next, in the battle for Voting Rights . Were going to have to be vigilant in fighting back against attempts, by the few, to silence the many. And thats why whats happening in the senate, this week, is so important. This is the Epson Ecotank Color printer. No more buying cartridges. Big ink tanks. Lots of ink. Print about. This many pages. The epson ecotank. Just fill and chill. Tonight. Ill be eating Crab Cakes with spicy aioli. Doorbell Rings thank you. Can we be besties, Simone Biles . I guess . Yessss should we dismount now . Its a very critical week for the biden administration. Democrats are trying to pass some top Agenda Items before the july4th break, including Voting Rights, infrastructure. Also, police reform. So joining me now is matthew dowd, the Formerchief Strategist for president george w. Bush. Always a pleasure to have you on. Good evening, sir. So lets talk about tomorrows vote tomorrows vote on Voting Rights. Key priority for biden. For the biden agenda. Its all destined to fail, though. Republicans are against it. And its still unclear if democrats will stick together on this. Democrats know the 60 votes arent there. So, whats this all about . What happens . Now, what, as they say, matthe . Well, to me, we are at a point where, i mean, we can blame the republicans, as you know i have, for blocking this and endangering democracy, all along the way. But at some point, the onus is on the democrats, who have the 50 seats 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. And so, my feeling is i dont think there is enough alarm among the democrats that sit in the in the senate. To actually protect our democracy. I noticed that Senator Sinema is has now spoken out, one more time, again. And she doesnt want to get rid of the filibuster because she doesnt want to endanger democracy. But what shes doing is shes endangering democracy by sticking with the filibuster. I mean, to me, as i thought about this. Its a bit like having a passenger boat, and saying its about to sink. And we were only going to make repairs, when we get it to shore because thats what we always do. Were not going to repair the boat. So she is just going to let the Boat Sink because thats not what we do. Thats the problem here. And the other part of this is everybody thats seeking bipartisanship, in this moment, as you know, don. I am a big believer in bipartisanship. But bipartisanship is like a healthy relationship. And a healthy relationship only works if you trust the other person, the other person tells the truth, and they share your same values. If none of that exists, you cant have a relationship. And you cant have bipartisanship. So, 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 breakglass moment, in your estimation . Oh, its a completebreakglass moment. This is like one of those those moments that i think is akin to what happened in the 1860s. And obviously, none of us foresaw that, in order to sort of 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 breakglass moment, in our countrys history. This is one of those moments. That everybody has to put all of these old traditions. They are not in the constitution. The filibusters not in the constitution. What is in the constitution is that were, all, supposed to be created equal, in this process. And were, 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. And so, absolutely. And i dont think obviously, this is not going to be something, oh, it will be fine. Everybody, after january 20th, itll be fine because donald trumps going back to Florida And Everything will be fine. Well, 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. Its from New York times columnist Charles Blough and heres 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, wishdriven 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. But because they could never compromise enough. Is he right . Mcconnell has previously said that 100 of his his focus is on stopping the biden administration. So, um, you know, as you said, the onus should be on democrats. Do they need to stop pretending like republicans were ever going to come onboard . And they need to have more urgency . Well, i think he is right. And i think this has been this has been a slow move thats gotten us over the years to this point. We where basically The American public, the majority of The American public, is not getting what they want. The 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 something real reform done on climate change. Were not getting it done. More a majority of the country wants more expansion of healthcare. Its not getting done. All of those things that are happening. And now, the most fundamental thing that exists and its the only thing that allows any 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 that is eat sithe situ 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 worlds changed. And they need to get to where the world is, today, with the republican party we are dealing with now. Not the republican party of Reagan Or Eisenhower or roosevelt. That is gone. Or even of obama, quite frankly. I mean, 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 oneterm president. Listen, matthew. I have been sort of saying the same sentiment that you have. From 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 kinds of issues. Im not saying that thats good, than democrats. And i think democrats are operating operating with an old playbook. An old narrative, so to speak. This is the urgency is just not there. We have beat up on the botdemocs enough. At least challenged them enough for this segment but what incentive does the gop really have to protect Voting Rights for all people . Particularly, black and brown communities, matthew . When the gop is showing that they dont believe that they can win with an expanded electorate and that they are moving so quickly to restrict these rights in states all across this country. Well, you know, the Constitution And Declaration of independence were moral documents. Fundamentally, they were moral documents that express what peoples rights are in this country. Its a moral and so, the only appeal you could have is doing the republicans doing what is morally right. Which is giving People Access and giving people the vote. And not trying to nullify elections. That, to me, the republicans. There is no longer 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 its very true today. Is republicans have no shame. Zero shame. Zero shame. Zero shame. Democrats, i think, feel Shame Way too much. When Everybody Somebody criticized them, they back off too quickly on this. And im not advocating that the Democrats Go Beyond The Law or do anything but they need to bring every tool to bear. 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 was an important moment to do that and to make that stand. And i dont think and believe me, don, i think the democratic party is the only vehicle, today, to protect our republic. I think its the only vehicle, today, and i think republicans need to suffer devastating losses because its the only way theyre going to learn. But democrats have to really Stand Up, and speak clearly. And and be strong about this. And not go back into the sort of im on exsubcommittee and i have a meeting today. They need to understand the house is on fire and they got to put the house the fire out. Break the glass. Break the glass. Break the glass. Listen. I have been saying that, you know, bipartisanship, for the sake of bipartisanship, is really just empty. Its just performative. And it doesnt what does it accomplish . It doesnt accomplish anything. It doesnt save the democracy. It doesnt help the democracy, nor does it help the republic. And its time for, youre right. Someone this is a breakglass moment. As someone who comes from the background that i come from and the ancestors that i have, and what they had to do in order to get the right to vote. That right should be preserved, a at all costs. Not just for black people or people of african descent. But for all people in this country. Last word. And, don, think of the blood and the lives that have been lost to defend our democracy, over the years. Whether its in the wars, World War ii. Today is the anniversary of the three civil rights workers who are trying to get Voting Rights in mississippi who were kidnapped and killed today. Cheney goodman and shwarner were all killed on this day in 1964, what the Mississippi Burning Movie was made about. Thats how do we honor their legacy . We hon their legacy not by going to a movie or putting up a quote of Martin Luther King on the wall, we honor their legacy by fighting for it today. Again, not performative. They actually did and they 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. I appreciate. I appreciate your strong stance. And and i like having you on. So thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thanks, don. Take care.

So we have been reporting on this and you know in just a few hours, New York city voters will head to the polls to choose democratic and republican nominees for mayor. With covidinfection rates plummeting, a surge, though, in violent crime In The City has become the key issue in the campaign. So joining me now to discuss, New York city mayoral candidate, katherine garcia. Glad to have you on. Thank you so much for joining. Oh, im thrilled to be with you. So lets talk about the issues. Crimes, like murders, shooting, hate crimes. We are seeing a sharp increase from last year. Look. Crime is still down from its high in the 80s but we are seeing a sharp increase, in many areas that people are concerned about. And they 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, katherine . 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 we are seeing today. Getting guns off The Street. I have committed to get 10,000 guns off The Street. We have seen some really horrifying videos of kids caught in crossfire. 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 culture changed in the nypd. So its not a warrior class. Its a Guardian Class for all of our communities and i know that i am the one to put that in place. I mean, lets be honest. His union didnt even endorse him. They dont have confidence that he can get crime under control. You know, and so, you and Andrew Yang have campaigned or campaigning together Tonight. You were out together this weekend. He is endorsing you. Telling his voters to rank you, on their ballots. But you are declining to coendorse him. What is that . Why are you joining forces . What is going on . Actually, we are saying the same thing weve been saying for months now. Andrew has always been a fan. And i have always been respectful of him. And this is part of what this election can be about. How do you i think her ah, her signal froze. If you think we can get her back, let me know. Otherwise, im going to continue on. And well move forward. So anyways, listen. It she might be back so, i said that the they are voting, this week. Are you there, kathryn . Yes, im here. Ah, you froze but were good. Im glad you are back. So listen. Lets go back to this crime thing. And i will talk to you. And i have another Sound Bite i want to play of Eric Adams. But i want to go back to this crime thing. You do understand that, again, thats the numberone issue. And you said we need the reforms that we need in Police Departments and so on. But thats a big challenge now because people in New York city. Whether people want to hear that or not. Reform the police folks. Or what have you. The people want more Police Officers, better policing. They want to be safe. They dont want to have to look over their shoulder. That video that you mentioned, of the the the Guy Being shot at with the kids. You know, falling to the ground and the kids, you know, could have been shot. That is frightening, for a lot of New Yorkers. The city can recover, economically. Dont bet against New York city. Chances are, New York citys going to be just fine. But you cannot bring back a life. You can bring you can look. You can sell an apartment. You can find another apartment. You can, you know, buy a stock, sell a stock. Thats all well and good. But you cant bring a life back. And when you when people are concerned about their safety and the safety of their loved ones. Thats a wholenother level. So, what is your plan . That is the number one issue, im telling you, thats all people Talk To Me about, kathryn. Oh its the only thing 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 that we are doubling the size of the nypds gunsuppression unit. These are the folks who do the hardinvestigative work that we have real neighborhood policing. Where we are making it so that there is trust with community because you cant clear crimes, solve them, if you dont have trust with communities. And that we need a gun buyback program. And that is part of my plan to make sure that we are dealing with thatspecific 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 Gun Manufacturers In The City of New York. These are coming from Out Of one, quick thing. One, quick thing, before i two quick things if you can answer quickly for me. I had the former Police Commissioner, Bill Bratton on last week. And he says the narrative out there, what is happening with police reform. Thats hurting. I am not saying its true or not but thats what the former Police Commissioner is saying. He is also saying the reforms that have happened, especially like bail reform, its really hurting the crime rate. And its causing Crime Rates to spike. He said some people should be in jail. At this point. What what do you make of what the formerPolice Commissioner said . Look. Ive run a uniform agency. I understand what it takes to motivate people who are part of the uniformed services In The City of New York. I have done that. I actually got endorsed by my union, which is unusual for Labor And Management to get along that well. But it is about trusting them so that they can trust you. And making sure that we are holding everyone accountable. Nogood 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, i said i wanted to play this for you. He is calling your alliance racially motivated and he told my colleague, john berman, this earlier today. Watch. Just send the wrong message. It was on june 19th, juneteenth, a federal holiday that was just signed into law. They sent a signal, as you have all of the africanamerican, Hispanic Candidates in the race, what message were you sending during this time that were talking about how do you empower variousethnic groups in politics . He is a leading democratic contender. What is he talking about . Whats your response . Look. My response is my message has been i want everyone to Go Out there and vote. I want them to use their rankchoice vote. 73 of New York city voted for rank choice. I am very pro making sure every community has the right to vote. You know, and this is personal, for me. I come from an adopted family. I was adopted, as were two of my siblings who are black. Having the right to vote is critical. And we have to, also, be advocating across the federal level to make sure that we are 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 need some Infrastructure Fix Change here, especially when it comes to wifi In The City. We we tried to have Eric Adams on. We lost him one night because we couldnt get an internet connection. We had an Internet Problem with maya wiley. And we have an Internet Problem with you. So we hope thats, also, part of your priority. To make sure you fix the infrastructure, as it relates to wireless and and, you know, making sure that people have connectivity In The City. Its important. Its its important for kids who are in school. Its important for a lot of us. Thank you very much, kathryn garcia. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Appreciated the conversation and sorry about the technical issue. So the battle for Voting Rights in this country about to heat up.

President Barack Obama makes a major push for voting Rights Legislation saying our 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 oncevibrant democracies go in the reverse. Locking in power, for a small group of powerful autocrats and Business Interests. And locking out, of the political process, dissidents and protestors and Opposition Parties and the voices of ordinary people. It is happening in other places around the world.

Im so happy that youre here. I know its very busy. You started off your campaign. Well talk about that in a moment. First let me get your reaction to what were hearing from the former president , Barack Obama, because youre one of the people on the battle lines, fighting against these attempts to suppress the vote. You know, i am i think hes absolutely right. You know, i think that we all know that the republicans are you know, the fact they would even use the filibuster to stop debate really talks about theres no interest in passing Voting Rights or even being supportive of Voting Rights. Theyve taken the role of just being obstructionist, that fundamentally when youre talking about the principle of democracy, while they throw that word around, and they dont even do that very often, they dont fundamentally believe in the value and the principle of democracy. Right now i think the biggest fight that weve had in our lifetime is really now. Like really is 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 that 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, you know, 37 years past where there were three young men who were killed just for trying to register people to vote. Its that same kind of energy that we see right now that the republicans are literally holding up to really stop Voting Rights in this country and really lead into voter suppression. Im glad you said that because Voting Rights is not about ideology. Its not about left and right. This is a fundamental american right, the right to vote. Theres 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 the day off and be able to vote, but thats a whole other show that we can talk about. A little bit more about the former president. He talked about 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 communities . It says that they are using the filibuster for the same reason that it was designed, and it was to stop progress in this country. That the filibuster actually 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 that 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 that were supporting democracy . Are we going to show up for black voters like black voters showed up in this last Election Cycle . I think we are on a critical moment. I do believe this is a defining moment of what it is that we really believe and what do we stand for as a nation. Why are we even having a conversation around where were literally engaged in we need bipartisanship when we know at the end of the day, any person of reasonable has any integrity, right, knows what is happening. That this is quite frankly a party that has been corrupt, you know, a party that is basing all of this on a Big Lie that essentially it is a punitive measure to punish folks from participating in the political process. So in a democracy, why would we not want to do everything in our power to make it stronger . Amen. 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 on the bus . Technically we were actually on a bus for four years. We had a little break because of covid, but then we jumped in it in june and we have been nonstop. There are people who fought and died for the right to vote. We fundamentally believe in democracy. If i was at a Polling Site and there was a republican that someone was trying to stop voting or a democrat or libertarian, i would fight as ferociously for them because i believe as a Human Being, i should have agency. My agency that i should be able to make an impact and influence any decision that is going to be about me and my family. And i actually 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. Listen, im not cutting you off. Listen, you were in Tonight'>Atlanta Tonight for a Voting Rights or bust tour. We remember the Fulton County Absentee ballots being counted late into the night there on camera. All of those things that we saw, the efforts around suppression, what is it going to take to stop all these endless audits, fraudits, the election fraud, to have a free and fair election . What is it going to take to do that . I got to go because i got some Breaking News by the way. But go on. It hasnt stopped. We need federal legislation. We need the for the people act and John Lewis Voter advancement act. Theres no way around it. Were going to have to have federal legislation to actually protect the right to vote in this nation. Listen, let me tell everyone. Im just going to be transparent. Latosha is all dressed up and seize shes looking amazing now. Her Bus Tour started already, and shes out working for you. This is someone who is actually doing the work. Latosha, i love having you on. I love what youre doing. Its so patriotic, and its so american.
