i m alisyn camerota. welcome to cnn tonight. we just heard the kind of conversations that a lot of us are having at our own dinner tables. bill maher talk to jake tapper about politics and race and cancel culture and wokeness. how do you define wokeness? because i hear people use the term all the time. and it means something different to everybody. well, again, i think it s this collection of ideas that are not building on liberalism, but very often undoing it. i mean, five years ago, abraham lincoln was not a controversial figure among liberals. we liked him. [laughter] now they take his name of schools and turned down his statues. really, lincoln is not good enough for you? are we all having conversations also where we accidentally step in it? and what conversations do we now feel uncomfortable having because we re afraid to get it wrong? so, our panel is going to tackle all that in just a moment. also, the supreme court hearing challenges to president biden s student

$75 million. what you see on the left there is what letitia james says is all things considered the rough actual truth, a value of $75 billion. now, you might notice when you look at this bar chart here that it seems really kind of low, and that s because of what you re about to see. to leave room for the trump claims you have to build a giant chart where the trump organization made claims legally binding that this was worth $739 million. that s not a bit above or double. it is, as you see, about nine times more than, according to the case, what the a.g. says it s worth. so it is false as best as anyone can tell. it certainly never fetched $739 million or anything close to that in a sale. what you re seeing on your screen in simple form, which i m leading the newscast with, because it s important, is a piece of evidence for dismantling the trump organization. if this evidence holds and a judge signs off on it, you can see trump and his family banned from running any corporati
