Baaam. Internet that doesnt Miss A beat. Thats cute, but my internet streams to my ride. Adorable, but does yours Block Malware . Nope. It crushes it. Pshh, mines so fast, No One can catch me. Big Whoop Mine gives me a 4k streaming box. For free thats because you all have the same internet. Xfinity xfi. So powerful, it keeps oneupping itself. Can your internet do that . Thanks for watching. Don lemon tonight, d. Lemon the Big Star right now. Let me make something clear is that rape is a crime. Heres what i got frustrated at. Forget about what my religion says about abortion or how i feel about that. That was so frustratingly deceptive. And ignorant. And im bothered by the applause because it shows that what the governor there is doing is effective. Forget about reproductive rights. Hes just lying about the bill. Okay . The idea that hey, youre really okay with rapists not being able you know, being able to victimize twice essentially . Yeah, because remember, thats a crime. So what were going to do is get rid of all the rapists and then it doesnt matter. And they applaud. Man, nobody ever thought of that. How smart of him. Come on. Get rid of the rapists. By the way, under that bill, people can roll their eyes. Im telling you the way that bill is drafted right now if you rape someone, you are not removed from the pool of eligibility to sue someone else for helping the person you raped get an abortion. An abortion. Yeah. So thats the reason why i pointed that out. I think youre right on in your what youre saying about this. But its just like No One has ever thought that, you know, rapists should be a crime and that theyre on The Street. And his idea of what an actual rapist is, yeah, there are some people who are on The Street and raping people but a lot of it happens within families and with people you know. Incest. So on and so forth. And so when you cant so you most times you cant even detect it. When it happens that way at six weeks, most people wont even know. Thats the part im frustrated about. He says, you know, he made it sound like it might even be more than six weeks under the law, which it isnt. And he made it sound like thats a long time. Which it isnt. Yeah. And its just thats what bothers me. Just be straight about what youre doing and why youre doing it. Yeah, i know people get frustrated and will be upset but the whole idea of separation of Church And State doesnt seem to apply when it comes to this particular issue. Good to see you. Good to be back. It is good to be back. Good to be back and its we just started our second season of the hand off. I know. Right . Not this handoff. I know its confusing to people. Theres a podcast called the handoff. Yes. And the podcast, we go even deeper than we go now. Were even more real or realer im shocked we got a second season. Im shocked at some of the things i said today because i compared life to save that for the podcast. [ laughter ] if you listen to the first episode of the podcast, youll see that not only did i just do us both a favor professionally in terms of keeping this gig but its actually a pretty funny thing he said. Okay. I have to say it was funny. See you. Love you. Love you, too. We got a lot to cover. This is Don Lemon tonight. Thank you so much for joining us. And you know what . And welcome back to everyone. This is a crucial moment for president Joe Biden. It really is. Hes facing one huge challenge after another at home and in the wake of the end of americas longest war and the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, the pandemic and the u. S. Passing 40 Million cases, 40 Million cases. The aftermath of Hurricane Ida as well. 22 people dead in the gulf and at least 52 in the northeast. And Flash Floods and tornadoes. A dramatic picture showing how the Climate Crisis is ravaging americas aging infrastructure. Big picture, okay . A lot is riding on president Joe Biden showing he can manage all these crises at once. And one of the biggest challenges that he faces is covid really. The President Planning to lay out his strategy to stop the spread of delta in a major speech on thursday. But the celebrations in packed stadiums we saw over the Labor Day Weekend may tell us a lot about what to expect going into the fall and with more kids going Back To School. More than one in four of the weekly covid cases in this country are now in children. More than one in four of the weekly covid cases in this country are now in children. 251,781 child cases of covid reported in the past week alone. So for anybody who still thinks this doesnt affect kids, not so. Not true. Never was true. And we need to get vaccinated and wear masks to protect those kids. Weve got to get the School System masked in addition to surrounding the children with vaccinated people. Thats the solution. We dont need to see a big uptick at all in cases if we do it right. Are you listening, everyone . Are you listening, florida . There is sad news out of one of the nations largest school districts, miamidade. Thats where 13 School Employees have died of covid since mid august. The union says all 13 were unvaccinated and africanamerican. A reminder that there are unvaccinated people in every population and there can be extra challenges in reaching some. Listen to what the superintendent of miamidade tells erin burnett tonight. I think this underscores the big tragedy that we see occurring across america. Even though in my community 98 of individuals have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, there is still a lag specific to individuals that represent ethnic minorities in miamidade. This is a result of understandable historic facts that have in a certain way prejudiced the understanding in these communities about the viability about the vaccine. Thats covid. But there is also the challenge the president faces from the Climate Crisis. The Washington Post says one in three americans have suffered the effects of extreme weather this summer from fires to floods to tornados to hurricanes. The president traveling to hardhit New Jersey and New York just today making his pitch for his Infrastructure Bill and his broader economic agenda including fighting the Climate Crisis. Climate change poses an existential threat to our lives, to our economy, and threat is here. Its not going to get any better. The question, can it get worse. We can stop it from getting worse. But infrastructure faces a rough road from a member of the president s own party. Joe manchin calling for a pause on the 3. 5 trillion bill. President biden saying this tonight. The goal at the end has always been there and hes always been with me. I think we can work something out, and i look forward to speaking with him. And on the heels of Texass Sixweek Ban on abortions and attorney general merrick garlands pledge to protect Abortion Clinics in texas, the state thats always been red moves even more sharply to the right. Governor Greg Abbott Signing just today a bill that points that puts major new restrictions on voting in one of the nations fastestgrowing and diversifying states. Id be astonished if a law like this was not challenged in court. Weve seen it happen whenever laws like this are passed. The first thing the democrats do is run to the courthouse and try to challenge it. I feel extremely confident that when this law makes it through the litigation phase, it will be upheld in a court of law. The law facing an immediate legal challenge from Voting Rights Groups and two federal lawsuits were filed before the bill was even signed. So here are are some of the reallife effects on real people who are just trying to exercise their right to vote. Okay . The bill bans 24hour voting, which helps Shift Workers in communities of color, okay . Communities of color. People who do shift work. Under the new Law Voting is only allowed from 6 00 a. M. To 10 00 p. M. So you can exercise one of your most precious rights as an american citizen only until 10 00. 10 05 youre out of luck. Drivethrough voting, nope. Never mind it allows people to vote safely in the middle of a deadly pandemic, the law also takes aim at voting by mail, making texans provide their Drivers License Number or the last four digits of their social security number, making it a felony for public officials to send out unsolicited Mailin Ballot applications. It means local elections, local elections Officials Cant provide Absentee Ballot Request forms to get out the vote groups. It empowers partisan Poll Watchers to move around at will. Anybody that assists people with disabilities other than those voters caregivers will have to fill out paperwork and take an oath to obey limits on their assistants to voters. And the Texas Secretary of States Office will have to do monthly checks on voter rolls. Reallife consequences of the assault on Voting Rights. So what do you do . How do you protect the right to vote . President Biden Tweeting that were facing an allout assault on our democracy, we need to pass the for the people act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Achievement Act to protect the sacred right to vote. I urge congress to send them to my desk immediately. Thats a quote from the president. But both bills face long odds. I talked to the president about that in the Cnn Town hall this summer. This is important for people who look like me. My grandmother would sit around when i was a kid, fifth grade. Had a fifthgrade education. I learned that she couldnt read when i was doing my homework. She would tell me stories about people asking her to count the number of jellybeans in the jar or the soap and so why is protecting the filibuster, is that more important than protecting Voting Rights, especially for people who fought and died for that . [ applause ] no. Its not. I want to see the united states congress, the united States Senate Pass s1 and s4, the john lewis act. Get it on my desk so i can sign it. The assault on Voting Rights in texas and across this country is nothing less than a plan to give the gop the power to overturn the next election if they dont like the results. Its not about politics. Its about our most sacred rights as americans, the right to vote. A right worth fighting for. So like i said, a lot is riding on President Biden showing he can manage all these crises at once. Up next were going to talk to two people who have some real insight into whether he can turn them into a political opportunity. Weve got to listen to the scientists and the economists and the national security experts. They all tell us this is code red. The nation and the world are in peril. Thats not hyperbole, thats a fact. In 2016, i was working at the Amazon Warehouse when my brother passed away. And a couple of years later, my mother passed away. After taking Care Of them, i knew that i really wanted to become a nurse. Amazon helped me with training and tuition. Today, im a medical assistant and im studying to become a registered nurse.

The president is facing the aftermath of severe weather across the country, a surge in coronavirus cases and deaths, and the fallout from the u. S. Withdrawal from afghanistan and a whole pile of legislation still not sent to his desk. Joining me now cnn Contributor Evan osnos. Evan is the author of Joe Biden the life, the run and what matters now. Evan, thank you for joininging. So lets get into this. Talk about a summer of challenges and crisis. Almost a year out from the midterms. How important are the next few wee weeks in shaping the future of Bidens Presidency . This is a crucial period, don. He used a Term Today talking about climate change. He said we reached an Inflection Point in which the choices we make now and decisions will have longterm consequences. And you can extend that analogy into this political season. Hes at an Inflection Point in the presidency where a lot of the things theyve been assembling over the first seven months are now going to be in a proving ground. And this is the time when youre going to hear him start to say things in private and in public. You know, you earlier mentioned, don, Joe Manchin. Theres no more important relationship right now than there is between Joe Biden and Joe Manchin. Youre not likely to hear much in public of Joe Biden pressuring the senator from west virginia. But in private thats one of the people he needs. This is sort of all of the 50 years of political practice that Joe Bidens been working on about finally coming to Joe Manchin and saying this is the moment. I had a conversation with manchin earlier in the year about their relationship. And manchin said, look, the truth is i want Joe Biden to be a successful president. And he said if he appeals to me directly, as he did on the Stimulus Bill early in the year, then i am willing to meet him. Even if i have my Hesitation Ppz so you may see that kind of private conversation unfolding over the course of the next few weeks. But i wouldnt expect to see Joe Biden raking manchin over the coals. I want to bring in now dana bash. Danas our chief political correspondent. So dana, the President Used Todays Storm Damage visits to sell his infrastructure plan. And tonight he said he thinks that he can work things out with senator Joe Manchin to get it done. I mean, this could be landmark legislation that defines the presidency but its also a total its in total legislative limbo. Its in total legislative limbo, don. And just like evan was saying, this is going to be one of the key moments that Joe Biden is going to have in his presidency and a legacydefining moment where he is going to have to reach back to all of the decades that evan was describing of the experience that he has in order to maneuver and to negotiate with Joe Manchin. And the fact is i interviewed the white House Chief of staff Ron Klain on sunday, who said if i had a dime for every time somebody told us that this infrastructure or any kind of bit of this agenda was going to be stopped id be a very rich man. But then he went on to talk about the ways that he thinks that Joe Manchin is persuadable. All of which had to do with ways to pay for the very large Price Tag that Joe Biden and the democratic leaders have for this this is just the socalled Reconciliation Piece that were talk about of course but it has a lot of the biden agenda in it. And a lot of what klain was saying in terms of paying for this were about new taxes. And its really unclear whether Joe Manchin or not just him but other moderate democrats who dont put themselves out there, they dont write Op Edds Like Manchin does but some of them are just as reluctant because theyre on the ballot in purple states. Evan, the president is set to give this major speech in the next phases of the pandemic on thursday. And even though the current spike is because of the unvaccinated, its happening on his watch. Do you think the president is frustrated by the resistance to the public health efforts . No question about it. Look, i think if you could talk to him candidly about the one piece of our current reality that he didnt anticipate is the degree to which people even now as far into the pandemic as we are with lifesaving vaccines available would still find themselves resisting for these reasons of, you know, abstract political commitments or sort of this vague sense of hesitation despite all of the things weve heard, all the Evidence Weve seen on the ground about the difference between being vaccinated and being unvaccinated. But i think one of the things were approaching now is the point at which this didnt even though this is happening on his watch and he now has to be the one thats taking responsibility for it, hes also contending with a set of political facts that didnt happen overnight. Im reminded of the fact, don, that trust in government, which is really sort of one of the dimensions of this vaccine issue, has been eroding for decades. Long before Joe Biden was in the presidency. In 1964, 88 of americans said they trusted the government. Today its down to 18 . He has to try to rebuild that confidence in a hurry. And that means talking about things like infrastructure. Trying to show things on the ground, put some realistic demonstrations about government can work for you and begin to rebuild some of that confidence. And he has to do it in a hurry. Hes going to have to do the real thing, the stuff that people care about. And it doesnt listen, the rightwing media and the Joe Biden haters can say what they want. Right . Thats just rhetoric. But hes going to have to really, dana, have some accomplishments in order to get people to continue to support his presidency and his initiative as well. And listen, the fight over Voting Rights is also becoming a defining issue for him. And he is pushing for two Voting Rights bills to be passed. I mean, you just got back from texas where that restrictive Voting Law was signed by the governor. But similar laws are being put in place all across the country. Is he losing on this battle . Yes. He is. He is because this is all about whether the federal government, he and his fellow democrats in congress can somehow find a way to enact new legislation that would either negate some of these State Laws or at least put a freeze on them. And its really unclear whether thats going to happen, and it goes back to the person we were talking about, Joe Manchin and again other senate democrats. And talking to im working on a special about Voting Rights, don. And talking to democrats from texas to arizona to georgia. And even further out and wider when youre talking about all of the states, more than a dozen states have actually mostly republicanled states have passed new laws that really make it more difficult for people to vote. Republicans who are in Charge Say that its about Election Integrity and it makes it so that the voting is more secure, but the reality is that in many of these places there was theyre looking for theyre coming up with a solution in search of a problem. And until and unless the federal government does something to get back some of the 1965 voting Rights Law which the Supreme Court chipped away at in two separate decisions then theres nothing that the federal government can do and they dont have the votes right now, the democrats, despite fighting really, really hard to get the majorities. Dana, look, as we know, according to all facts and all studies and all and everyone involved, not in the court of the way i feel, this was the most secure 2020 was the most secure election in the nations history. Youre right, it was a solution that didnt have a problem. You know, hey week, here because people feel that the Election Wasnt secure, not that there are any facts that show it. Because they were they were told. Right. Evan, when you talk about the atakts on our institution over the past i think you said for the past 40 years, it certainly didnt help with the last administration attacking institutions as much as the Trump Administration and the trump folks did and still do as well. Yeah. But when justifying back to biden. Evan, this is for you. Justifying afghanistan, the withdrawal there, the president said that it was what the american people wanted. If the president stays focused on what voters want, do you think thatll pay off for him in the long run . Hes got to accomplish some things but if he stays focused on what voters want, will that pay off for him in the long run . Yeah. And focus is exactly the word. I think, don, in a moment like this president s are sort of inundated with competing pieces of political Advice And Instinct and there are moments where they might say okay, im going to sort of dash over here and try to meet whatever the shortterm political incentive might be. You didnt see him do that on afghanistan. Look, the reality was that was a painful episode. It obviously was difficult for him, but you saw him stay committed to the policy which he believed was in the longterm interest, the vital national interest as he often says of this country. And americans by and large in polls support the decision to end the war in afghanistan. So you are likely to see him run to this idea that youll see this later in the week when he talks about the need to get the Covid Pandemic behind us. Look, the reality is whatever people believe politically, wherever they line up on the partisan distinction, the fact is people need to get this pandemic behind us. And i think youre going to hear him appeal to those messages in liberal terms, in conservative terms, and say its time to turn the page. This is going to take all of his political skill because the last administration stacked the deck in a way that made it very hard for people to put it back on Joe Biden. But this is the moment when its arrived. Evan, for those of us old enough, as Carol Burnett said, im so glad we had this time together. Im tugging my ear. I will see you. Thank you very much. Im going to keep dana. Thanks, evan, ill see you soon. Dana, before we go lets talk about your new Cnn Podcast that is premiering tomorrow. Total recall californias political circus. It takes a hard look at the last Recall Election in the state. And you actually talked to the man who won that election, Arnold Schwarzenegger. What should we expect . A really deep dive into what happened almost 20 years ago. Its kind of hard to imagine. A lot of people dont even remember that Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor because of a recall. And here we are on the cusp of another election. Very different circumstances on a whole host of issues. Particularly theyre very different candidates, governors. Gray davis back then, Gavin Newsom right now. But i did talk extensively to Arnold Schwarzenegger, and one of the things we talked about is that there is a similarity when it comes to the palpable anger that californians are feeling right now. Listen to this. Theres millions of people out there that are dissatisfied. Dissatisfied maybe the way the corona was handled, dissatisfied with the fires, dissatisfied with the blackouts youre saying dangerous for Gavin Newsom. Very dangerous, yes. Absolutely. Its very dangerous for him because youve got to take this stuff seriously. For too long they didnt take it seriously. But now i think they do take it seriously. And we know theyre taking it seriously. There are a lot of bits of evidence that show that. Not the least of which, kamala harris, the former senator from california, now the Vice President , is going to campaign with Gavin Newsom. One of the biggest challenges that they have is that the anger that Arnold Schwarzenegger is talking about that very much exists is propelling people who are willing to go to the polls to go because they want to recall Gavin Newsom and the challenge for the democrats is to get the passion out there and to basically stoke fear in a lot of californians who might not want what the democrats are Terming A Trumpian governor. So youve got to get out there and youve got to vote and youve got to vote no on the recall. Thats what the Newsom Message is. And they have been out there very aggressively. But as schwarzenegger said, it took a little bit for them to realize that this could be a big problem. Yeah. They were slow. Yeah. But this podcast is very, very interesting. And to look at not just the similarities and the differences but more importantly how much of our politics today, don, was born or at least was foreshadowed in the 2003 recall. I was going to say what do they say, history doesnt often repeat itself but it rhymes. And so its very similar, right . Whats happening now as to what happened then. And that was a very good get, dana. Thank you very much. Cant wait to hear the entire podcast. And its good to see you.

Passing 40 Million confirmed covid cases, more than 4 Million in the last four weeks alone. The American Academy Of Pediatrics warning one in four new covid cases last week were in children. It is an alarming number at a time when millions of children are now back in school and experts are warning we could see a huge postlabor Day Surge in cases. Joining me now to discuss cnns chief medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay gupta. Sanjay, thanks for joining. So meshes have traveled for the Labor Day Weekend. Now kids are back in school. Schools in session. With kids making up more and more of a share of new cases now. How concerned are you about children and delta . Well, im pretty concerned because the numbers are just so high that when you start to raise the denominator of cases that high more kids are going to get infected. I mean, that is the concept behind herd immunity. Herd immunitys more of a concept than an actual number. You get enough people vaccinated to protect those that cant be vaccinated. But unfortunately the cases are just rising and rising. I could show you, don, last year compared to this year. 3 1 2 times the number of cases right now compared to this time last year. 2 1 2 times the hospitalizations. Nearly two times the number of deaths. If you were to ask me a year ago what these numbers meant this year, i would have said it means that we dont get have a vaccine, that we didnt yet get the vaccine. And jet we do have a vaccine and these numbers are what they are. But the thing about kids is that the more virus that is circulating, especially a contagious virus like this, the more kids are going to be at risk, especially the ones that have not yet been vaccinated, cannot be vaccinated. And look, this is where we are now. First day back for many folks. Including myself. We saw massive crowds gathered at Football Games this weekend. I mean, not every outdoor event becomes a superspreader. But dr. Fauci is saying today its not smart to be in a crowded outdoor event, crowded outdoor events without a mask right now. Whats the risk . Well, i think one thing about this Delta Virus is that its just much more unforgiving. You know, there was a study that came out over the summer saying look at Football Games from last year and limited attendance. They did not seem to be these spreading events. But now theres obviously not limited attendance. These are fully packed as you point out and the Delta Virus is that much more contagious. I think youve got to look at whats going on in the area. What is Vaccination Rates like . What is Transmission Rates like. So that game youre showing i think is in auburn, alabama. We know the transmission is very high there, much higher than the rest of the country. We know that the Vaccination Rates are really low there. So thats obviously a problem. But on top of that youve got to sort of put that together. You say im sitting next to the same people for a couple, three hours. Theres lots of shouting going on. A lot of virus getting into the air. Previously outdoor Transmission Wasnt that much of a problem, but in situations like that it can be. I mean, theres no magical answer here. People want outdoors totally safe, indoors is not. Its not going to be that easy, especially when you have viral transmission the way that it is. These are the things you got to pay attention to and almost have to imagine, don, if you could see the virus, if you could just see the virus like a Rain Shower Youd get a better idea okay, time to pull out your umbrella, put on your mask, do whatever, take cover. Thats the problem with games like that. Yeah. So lets turn now to the administrations booster strategy, dr. Gupta. Today dr. Fauci says that a third dose may be part of covid19 vaccine regimen. Listen. It looks very much like it isnt as if two doses of a vaccine are failing, its that the proper regimen will very likely as we look back on it months from now will be that three doses is really what you should be getting of an mrna. So would that be it . No annual booster like a Flu Shot . I mean, that is i think the expectation here. You know, Flu Shot is a little different because its not an annual booster as much as it is a new vaccine because the Flu Virus does change that much year to year. Whats interesting here, don, is that the message all along has been the vaccines work well. And thats still the message because they do work well. Dramatically lower the risk of you getting severely sick, needing hospitalization or dying. At the same time the administration is saying hey, based on what we think is happening in israel, to some extent in this country as well, we think a booster will be necessary. What dr. Fauci is now saying in that clip you just played is that kind of was the plan all along. Most vaccines, adult vaccines, require boosters. Take a look, don. We pulled this to show you. If you look at hepatitis vaccines, for example, Herpes Zoster vaccine, Human Papilloma vaccine, all of them require two shots, some of them three shots. And i think the only thing that sort of struck me about this whole conversation which is quite a heated conversation about boosters in the scientific community is that if that was the plan all along, that you were going to need a booster at six to eight months they probably should have said that because i think it is left some people with this idea that the vaccines arent working as well. They are. But now theyre saying a booster would actually give it longer, more durable protection. Dr. Gupta, we appreciate the time that you give to us. Want to know why . Because youre so busy. Make sure you check out sanjays upcoming book. There it is up on your screen right there. Its called World War C lessons from the Covid19 Pandemic and how to prepare for the next one.

I mean, i think the free Britney Movement and people all over the world have been waiting for someone to file a petition to terminate, and here it turns out be to be her father. First time in 13 years. But remember, Britney Spearss new attorney, matthew rosengart, has been filing petition after petition, putting pressure on Jamie Spears to resign, to step aside. And there was that potential that Judge Brenda Penny was going to be suspending Jamie Spears at the next hearing on september 29th. I want to read you part of the statement from rosengart telling cnn this filing represents another legal victory for Britney Spears, a massive one, as well as vindication for miss spears. It appears that mr. Spears believes he can try to avoid Accountability And Justice including sitting for, don, get this, a sworn deposition and answering other discovery under oath. Remember, Britney Spears said twice over the summer at two different hearings, multiple times at two hearings, that she wants to charge her father with Conservatorship Abuse. So could that happen . Hmm. Areva . Absolutely that can happen. And youre right, don. This is an incredible turn of events. This is a huge legal victory for britney and it is vindication. I agree with her attorney. Let me read this, areva. Let me read this in part because this is where youre going. In part of the petition it says this. Recent events related to this conservatorship have called into question whether circumstances have changed to such an extent that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist. So go on, but maybe that was the key to turning it around. Sorry to interrupt. Go on. No, no problem. Well, that statement is dramatically different than a statement made just several days ago by Jamie Spears when he pushed back on a petition to have him removed as conservator. He claimed that he was still in the best position to be the conservator, that he wanted what was best for his daughter and he was at one point fighting the petition filed by her new attorney to have him removed. So things are moving pretty quickly, don, but one thing that chloe said, which we cant lose sight of, this new attorney that just got involved in this case in july has been incredibly aggressive in filing petitions and making it clear that he was going to do a very thorough investigation to determine whether theres been any kind of financial mismanagement, and he has served Jamie Spears with a deposition notice, which means he has to show up, give testimony under oath and then answer other discovery that has been served on him by the new attorney. So i think we were about to start to see some light of day, some transparency with the way this conservatorship was handled. And the attorney has said even with this new filing, this request to terminate the conservatorship he is not giving up, hes going to continue his efforts to investigate how this conservatorship was handled for the last 13 years. You remember, i mean, when they said her Net Worth was 60 Million and i said, well, wait a minute, what happened to all of Britney Spears money, it is a lot of money when you think about someone whos been in the business starting as a kid for what is it, the disney she was a mouseketeer if im not mistaken. Yep. Mickey mouse club. In the Mickey Mouse club. And shes been doing this and has had hit after hit after hit after hit and i think some of it is what she had what do you have when youre residency. Residency. You make Tons Of Money on that. She should have made 60 Million alone just from that. She has been under conservatorship, chloe, since 2009. How soon could this change go into effect . What happens next . Oh, i mean, its pretty much over. I think its just kind of, you know, all there has to be is the hearing on september 29th. Judge Brenda Penny has to set the hearing. Were probably going to see that in the next couple of days. Then essentially its over. But there are still things that have to be taken Care Of. Theres some Loose Ends with the money. Britney Spears Father is saying hes owed nearly 2 million. Half A Million dollars for a salary and all this money for legal fees. Its not going to be over, and you have rosengart saying were not going to pay that 2 million. And then Britney Spears medical care, you know, shes under the supervision of jodie montgomery, the conservator of her person, a team of doctors. Nobody wants anything to happen to britney, but essentially were going to see the free Britney Movement in full effect outside the Los Angeles County courthouse. Im going to be there. Areva, this is following the money. Thats what the new attorney is doing, and the dad is yeah. Youre right, don. This has always been about money unfortunately, and thats why so many people have railed against this type of conservatorship for someone like britney, as youve just identified, whos been able to perform in las vegas, be a judge on a competition show. Forgot about that one. You know, normal activities, but yet to be under conservatorship for so long. Its really been appalling, and i couldnt be more elated about this recent turn of events. I should note that the court, though, will have the final say on whether the conservatorship is terminated. The court still has to make a determination that britney has the mental capacity, the ability to take Care Of her own affairs or Health Affairs or financial affairs. But definitely this filing by the father saying he wants to or he believes that the conservatorship should be terminated is a step in the right direction. Thank you. I appreciate it. I had the pleasure of meeting the next person im going to talk about once here in The Green Room at cnn. And you could not have met a better person. And then just conversing with him every once in a while by text on some wonderful project that he did. And now this.
