United states and around the world. You are in the Cnn Newsroom on this busy, Saturday Night. Great to have you along with us. FormerPresident Trump is taking his big Lie Show on the road, tonight. And just moments, he is expected to speak at a republican Party Dinner in North Carolina. Close aides spent the last few days encouraging the former president to move on from the 2020 election, and focus on the future. Such as, Republican Party priorities, heading into the midterms. But sources say trump has become more obsessed, in recent weeks, with this unhinged idea that he could, soon, be reinstated as commander in chief.

Principle of the united states of america. On the very day he was inaugurated Joe Biden signed Executive Order 1395. That makes equity mandatory across the federal government in all the agencies. And yet strangely neither Joe Biden nor anyone else in the administration has ever defined the word. So what is equity . Tonight we finally know what it is. Equity it turns out is racism. Its as simple as that. Equity is racism. And to be clear we dont mean racism in the sense that Ice Cream and Shakespeare And Math are all now supposedly racist or that dr.

Ignorance, or as democrats say, proof of republicans, quote, fear to Donald Trump. A short time ago Gop Senators blocked the bill to create that independent bipartisan commission that would have tried to find the truth behind the January 6th attack on the u. S. Capitol. The final Senate Vote was 5435. With these republican senators voting in favor of that bipartisan commission. These are the same senators, except for rob portman, who voted to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment for inciting the insurrection. Ten republican votes were needed to create the bipartisan commission. They didnt get it. Cnns Jessica Dean is on Capitol Hill, has been following all of this.
