this is the picture she wanted. so see all those storm clouds i told her, this prom is not supposed to happen, let's stay home, let's get chinese. this is the picture she wanted. i'm too proud on this. look at my bella, 18 years old graduating high school, going to prom. i just -- i can't believe it. any parent will know this. i'll bring in uncle don lemon here. don lemon tonight is just gostart in just a second. look at this moment, don. >> oh, my gosh. >> i know. look at the next one. show the next picture. there. jesus, crew. so there's me. there's her with her friend max, little too good-looking but otherwise that's okay. i was holding it together. i was there with this bunch of parents and i was trying to hold it together but i could not believe i was taking the picture of this kid whose diaper i was changing five minutes ago, who i

saw play the piano for the first time, who i saw going to high school. and now going here, going there, going to europe. and then this is my favorite picture. look at this one. >> she is gorgeous. >> zoom in. >> chris, you sent me that and i said -- i said you can't do a mean enough look. look how good-looking that kid is. >> i know. >> you're in trouble. i mean, look, they're the perfect couple. they're gorgeous. and if you think a mean look is going to keep bella from that guy, he's so handsome, i think you're in a world of trouble. >> i said to him these storm clouds are just a whisper of the hell i can bring your way. no, he's a great kid. his dad is a great guy. and look, it's good you have friends going. i trust him. it's very nice. but i've got to tell you, i was a mess when i was leaving there. i took pictures with her at

home. i'm just so proud of her, you know? >> when i saw that picture i said she looks gorgeous, obviously. and then i said wait a minute is she going to prom with maurice debois' son? >> good man, i don't know if he's that good-looking. >> that kid is good-looking, but, look -- >> he reminds me of a younger, tanner me. >> come on, bella deserves a great looking guy. she's a great looking young lady and we're so proud of her. she's just the salt of the earth. >> she's a good kid. >> and who's her favorite anchor on tv? >> well, you. i thought she'd outgrow it. and then i've got a niece whose claim to fame is that she looks like you. >> you see what i did? look at my tie. >> to match her dress. i've love she's got good friends. that's all you want. you'll see when you get in the

kid game, all you want is for them to be happy. and for her to make it to this point in her life, nothing else matters. nothing else matters. >> and she's off to college. you're so lucky and she is, too, that she looks like christina. >> no college. i'll tell her stay home, stay with me. d. lemon, thank you for giving me the time. >> congratulations. i want to see pictures. talk to you later. this is don lemon tonight, and thank you for joining us. let me ask you a question. the republican party's leaders want to shove the january 6th attempt to overthrow democracy down a memory hole. you know what the memory hole is, right? 1984, memory hole, so you'll forget about it and they can move on right alongside the former president, the former

guy. the question is will they succeed? we're talking about one of the darkest days in american history, a vote tomorrow in the senate to open debate on the bill is all but certain to be filibustered by republicans. it is a tool they've got, and look where they're going to use it for. i should tell you i have new contacts. i'm having trouble reading, so bear with me, everybody. new contacts just today. yeah, if you can make the prompter bigger, that'd be great. i'm not used to my new contacts. they're trying to whitewash a domestic terror attack on capitol hill. why are they trying to do it? they're trying to do it because they don't want you to remember it. because it's just so inconvenient for them. if anyone asks questions about it, they don't want people to talk about it. god forbid they get to the bottom of it, investigate it, no. how cowardly do you have to be

to bury your head in the sand and shutdown any questions about the brutal attack that we all saw with our own eyes and heard with our own ears? how afraid of a mean tweet, i mean press release now because he can't tweet, do you have to be to ignore the gallows we all saw, the violent rioters we all heard? >> hang mike pence! hang mike pence! >> how cowardly do you have to be to ignore what happened to the brave police officers, true american heroes trying to defend the capitol, trying to save the lives of the same people who are now trying to bury what happened. the mother of fallen capitol police officer brian sicknick, demanding to meet with republican senators tomorrow. at least 15 of those senators have agreed to that meeting. and gladys sicknick, has the courage to tell them the truth, saying in a statement and i quote here. i suggest all congressmen and senators who are against this bill visit my son's grave in

arlington national cemetery and while there think about what their hurtful decision will do to those officers who will be there for them going forward. putting politics aside wouldn't they want to know the truth of what happened on january 6th? if not, they do not deserve to have the jobs they were elected to do. so two officers you have heard from on this show will be with gladys sicknick tomorrow. capitol police officer harry dunn and michael fanone. remember what he told me about lawmakers trying to white wash history? some republican lawmakers and even the former president, they're trying to rewrite history saying that the riots, that they weren't that bad and the rioters were actually antifa. i know you have said this isn't political for you. but how do you respond to them twisting the truth like that? >> it's hurtful. it's hurtful and it's kind of

like a slap in the face without even asking us or talking to us about what we went through. >> remember what officer fanone told me? >> i'm not a politician, i'm not an elected official. i don't expect anybody to give two shits about my opinions, but i will say this. you know, those are lies. and peddling that bullshit is an assault to every officer that fought for this capitol. it's disgraceful. >> a federal judge writing an opinion today the big lie could still spur trump supporters to violence. quote, the steady drum beat that inspired defendant to take up arms has not faded away. six months later the canard that the election was stolen is being

repeated dally an major news outlets and from the corridor of power and state and federal government, not to mention a near daily fomenations. kevin mccarthy finally spoke out against her anti-semitic lunacy. >> kevin mccarthy never said a word. you can ask marjory about her words and what she had to say. so it's unfortunate he took this route and he didn't even text me or call me, which is really a shame. >> weak and cowardly. but in the face of all that it seems republicans are going to use the first filibuster of the biden administration to bury the january 6th commission before it's even begun. mit romney saying blocking the commission, quote, would be seen as wanting to let the truth come out, as not wanting to let the

truth come out. and that's exactly what it is, not wanting to let the truth come out. they don't want to let the truth come out in this because they know it's damaging to them. that's why republicans are going to filibuster the commission. i suppose that's to be expected from the gop right now. but in all honesty what about the democrats? what about the democrats? what about the party that's supposed to be operating in reality? senators joe manchin and keirsten cinema are watching what's happening really closely because they are the ones who have pledged not to change the filibuster and the 60-vote threshold to get anything of substances done. senator manchin just yesterday pushing back on blowing up the filibuster saying, quote, i can't take the fallout. what does that mean? he can't take the fallout? so are democrats going to knuckle under to a gop that won't accept basic facts and try to whitewash history? are they going to refuse to axe

the filibuster when it may be the only way to get anything done? are they going to accept the gop that refuses to investigate the insurrection, that threaten the foundation of democracy? keirsten cinema, joe manchin, that's what's at stake here. operating in truth. are you going to tell the truth, be honest with your constituents and tell them they're not operating in reality? that's what leaders do. our democracy is at stake here. we're in a country that has a lot to grapple with right now. just today in the latest explosion of gun violence a shooter killed eight people when he opened fire in a massacre at a san jose rail yard today. eight families who will never see their loved ones again. the gunman and employee there is also dead. the president of the united

states joe biden lowering the flag to half staff for the fifth time in his short presidency and saying this, quote, i have the solemn of yet again lowering the flag to half staff after following the mass shootings at spas in and around atlanta, in a grocery store in boulder, colorado, at a home in rockhill, south carolina and at a fedex facility in indianapolis, indiana. enough. every life that is taken by a bullet pierces the soul of our nation. we can and we must do more. and here we are tonight, another mass shooting and congress does absolutely nothing. an insurrection that threatened our democracy and congress won't investigate. the reality is the gop is stalling for time. they're hoping americans move on. that's what they're hoping. are you going to let them move on with no accountability?

i can't just be the only one here talking about it every single night. you have to do something about it. you have to demand something from your leaders. leaders who are in a death grip of a disgraced twice impeached one-term former president who lost the house and the senate and the white house and who is now under a grand jury investigation. there are people who can stand up, ten senators. are there ten republican senators who will defend democracy? i think i know the answer to that. but i hope i'm wrong, honestly. and we're hearing tonight from another democratic president who had his own battles with republicans. remember when mitch mcconnell vowed to make barack obama a one-term president? that didn't work out the way he planned, but tonight the former president is speaking out about justice in america saying that he went as far as he could in his comments about trayvon

martin and ferguson while he was in office. >> i went as far as i could just commenting on cases like trayvon martin or what was happening in ferguson because as we discovered not every president follows this, at least my successor didn't. but i followed the basic notion that the justice department was independent, i could not steer them. i did not in any way want to endanger their capacity to go in, investigate and potentially charge perpetrators, which meant that i could not come down or appear to come down decisively in terms of guilt or innocence in terms of what happened. yo you had institutional constraints. >> are there ten republicans who will stand up for democracy? are there? that's a question for former republican congressman and former governor of ohio mr. john kasich.

he's next. plus up ahead more tonight from former president barack obama speaking out about justice for black and brown americans. >> the criminal justice system in this country has never operated in a color-blind fashion. and that the consequences for families and communities has been devastating.

here's what's happening tomorrow. the senate is going to take up a key vote on whether to even open debate on a bill creating a commission to investigate the deadly january 6th capitol attack. once republicans are wound to filibuster the bill in order to block it and right now democrats don't have the 60 votes they need to over come a filibuster. let's discuss now. senior commentator mr. john kasich joins us, a former republican congressman and former ohio governor. thank you, sir. good to see you. doing okay? >> thank you. doing fine. >> so, john, why are republicans in washington and i guess many around the country but leaders why are they intent on putting january 6 in a memory hole, the idea they would filibuster a bill just to investigate? i mean we're talking about an

attack on our democracy. lives were lost. are they going to get away with doing this? >> well, i think it's totally wrong they would do that, don. let me try to explain the way i've thought about it today when i heard about, you know, what might happen because i was hoping they were going to actually pass this thing. i think republicans are deciding that, you know, they're not going to do this, that they're going to keep their people together, their base together, that they're not going to put a lot of proposals out there particularly in the house and that their folks will stay with them through the election, and then republicans will look and they'll say, well, i don't like a lot of what's going on, but i certainly don't like what the democrats are doing because they're moving so far left so they'll just vote republican. it's almost like a parliamentary we have right now with tribes on both sides. i think it's terrible, think about this the filibuster an

investigation into january 6th. we created investigations on 9/11. we created investigations -- there was an article written today all the way going back to the kennedy assassination. of course there should be a bipartisan investigation. i think the republicans think we're not going to do it, our voters aren't going to care, they're going to stay with us and then put us in a majority in the house and maybe even the senate. i think it's crude power politics and i don't like it. >> a couple things, i don't understand what that has to do with the truth especially when democracy is under attack in a way it never has been before. second, people always say that's like a throw away line on bogue sides and that where are democrats moving that far -- where is joe biden? let's put it the person in charge, the legislation he's proposing, the things he's doing -- how is that far left? >> don, what he's proposing is not what he campaigned on. i mean, he's spending --

proposing spending money and changing the nature in many ways of the way we do things in the united states. look, i endorsed the guy. what he's running on and what he's saying now is not what he campaigned on. he campaigned on bringing us together. now there's a infrastructure bill. the republicans have a proposal -- >> john, how can you bring people together when they don't want to work with him? hold on, hold on. he's bringing people to the white house. he's asking republicans to get onboard with this. he's asking if you don't like my plans can you offer me your own proposals. i don't understand when you say he's not -- he's trying bipartisanship and republicans are saying -- hold on. mitch mcconnell is saying i'm not going to do it. what we're going to do is just basically block everything that joe biden wants. >> don, you're filibustering me. i just told you republicans have -- >> i'm asking you a question. >> well, i'm giving you an

answer. >> well, let me get my question out and i will give you time to answer. you can't jump in and answer while i'm still -- i asked you the question. he's the one quite honestly who's inviting republicans to the table. republicans are saying no to every single thing that he is asking for and not offering any proposals. >> first of all, that's false. >> what are they doing? >> that's because the republicans have offered an infrastructure plan. now they've upped their number to about a trillion dollars. it's about the same number that biden has. if they're going to put that on the table, but i guarantee you the democrats won't accept it. you just said they don't offer a plan. they have a plan and it's focused obridges and highways, the things that are true infrastructure. and they're taking money that is not even going to be spent in this year -- >> we live in a society now where you need broadband. we live in a society now you

need to be on the grid. ask texas what happened. >> that is in their proposal. and by the way i don't want the government running broadband. i want the private sector running broadband, so they have a trillion dollar proposal. what's funny about that? that's what they put out there. now, what biden could say is, yes, i'll accept that. but you know why they won't accept it because they don't want to give either, and they're dealing with the same problem internally. they're dealing with big problems internally about is the left going to come after them? and he's on a tightrope. i mean, look, i'm going to tell it like i see it, don. i don't like what they're doing on the january 6th commission. >> but, john, to say quite honestly it's on both sides is disingenuous. and the proposals republicans are making now is not even close to what joe biden offered initially. it's not even close to that. and to say that -- >> don, that's not true.

>> it is true. >> i'm sorry, it's not true. >> okay, okay. we'll have to disagree on that. >> i'm telling you they're going to put a trillion dollars on the table. a trillion dollars, that's exactly what biden had. and they're going to take some of the money from unspent money they overspent in this year. the white house isn't going to like that. >> according to some republicans biden might actually agree thaimate. >> that'd be great. i'm for it. >> but that hasn't happened yet. to say it happens on both sides -- exactly. to say it happens on both sides that's what's happening on the republican side is similar to what the democrats are doing. it's just disingenuous. >> in the beginning the republicans went down to talk to biden about his $1.9 trillion plan. republicans left the white house, they had their own plan. to me it was too little. i negotiated the budget agreement that got us to a

balanced budget. i know how negotiations work. one side starts here and see if you can come together. when the republicans left they said that they had a good meeting, and the white house staff laughed about it. they said that wasn't a good meeting, and they just jammed the $1.9 trillion through. now, if you want to have a negotiation both sides have to give. >> how do you know -- you're assuming the republican side -- you're assuming the republicans are telling the truth and the white house -- >> i'm reading news reports. >> okay. >> i'm reading news reports. where do you want me to go? look, when mcconnell said it's my job to stop what biden is doing i completely disagree with that. and over in the house they're not serious at all about this. we'll see what the problem solvers come out with, but the house republicans, where can't be more critical of them than i've been. but i'm just trying to suggest to you when you have people that want to do a deal, then you've got to sit down. and it's painful to reach agreement. i know. i was there. when we got the balance budget

agreement through "the wall street journal" called me william jefferson kasich, mocking me because i put the deal together. i know how hard it is. >> john, listen, i know you do -- >> i understand your frustration. >> i know you do. but, listen, with all due respect we're not -- when you did that we were not in the time we're in now. we're not in a such a time where people are so divided. >> i agree. but i love you anyway. >> it's not about this. that has nothing to do with it. we're having a conversation that is i think is very -- joe manchin is a moderate democrat. he does not support blowing up the filibuster over any of this. and in the past kyrsten sinema has said she doesn't support killing it. why the blind allegiance to saving the filibuster when democrats are the majority and they're getting outplayed by republicans and considering as i said in the open what's at

stake. >> i can quote a variety of democrats including democrat leaders who made big speeches about not killing the filibuster. the reason why we don't get rid of the fill guster is because that is a process that's supposed to bring the parties together and at the same time not let some crazy idea just become law in the heat of the moment. that's the purmspose of the filibuster. i know it's frustrating. i know it's difficult. i don't like what they're doing on guns, blocking gun legislation. i don't like this stuff. but, don, if democrats kill the filibuster -- and we went through this before just shoving judges through with no filibuster and a lot of opeople didn't like the judges that got appointed. you've got to think about what might happen down the road and the consequences of that when republicans are in power and they jam everything the other way. we've got a broken system. don, wave got a broken system. you hate it, i hate it. it's broken. >> i didn't say i hate it. i'm just analyzing it. >> i hate the way it's working

for this reason because i'm not familiar with the kind of politics that are going on down there. and i don't like it. i don't hate the system, i hate the politics, when they put politics ahead of the country. >> that's the whole point about the filibuster. we're in a different place right now. maybe it was a saner place when were arguing about the filibuster. >> your new show about grace. we've got to recognize each other's humanity and until we do that we ain't going anywhere, my friend. former president barack obama speaking out on making change in this country. what he thinks he did wrong and what's going right. . >> the mobilization primarily led by young people over the last year, it gave me hope. cya? it means "cyan-ora" honor roll. led by young people over the last year, it gave me hope. >> t led by young people over the last year, it gave me hope. omese amount of ink. just fill and chill.

a source telling cnn tonight that manhattan prosecutors pursuing a criminal case against former president trump and the trump organization have told at least one witness to prepare for testimony before the grand jury. it's seen as a sign the manhattan d.a.'s office is poised to presenting their case one that could result in criminal charges against the former president. joining me now cnn's senior legal affairs correspondent paula reed and former federal prosecutor kim waly. she's the author of "what you need to know about voting and why." and i suggest everyone read that book. good evening to both of you. paula, i'm going to start with you. what more are we learning about this investigation tonight? >> our reporting at least one witness has been told to prepare to go before the grand jury. it suggests this investigation is moving into an advance stage. we know that for the past two years the manhattan district attorney has been looking into the trump organization to get into these questions about

whether they may have lied about their assets when applying for loans or paying their taxes. now, when it comes to the potential crime of fraud they're going to need documents, they're going to need witnesses. and we know the former president he doesn't leave much of a paper trail. he doesn't e-mail, doesn't text. so witnesses are going to be key, and all eyes are on the trump organization's long time cfo allen weisselberg. he's exactly the kind of person who could if he wanted to cooperate give investigators the kind of insights they need. he's also currently facing his own tax investigation, which could apply pressure on him and really incentivize him to cooperate. so all eyes on him right now. >> so, paula, talk to me about the timing of this. how quickly could this move? >> we know this grand jury has been in panel for about six months. that can be extended. we also know the manhattan district attorney's term lasts a little bit longer thanimate. right now based on the information we have we're looking about until the end of

the year. don, even though we have a grand jury and identified key witnesses, we know they've been gathering evidence, this is very much an active investigation, there's no guarantee the former president or anyone else will be charge in this case. >> kim, we are learning that prosecutors are looking at the finances of the trump organization cfo allen weisselberg. weisselberg is under a lot of pressure to cooperate. do you think he's going to flip and testify against the trumps? >> well, it's impossible to tell, although i've read that sources close to him believe it's possible. look, he goes back to the early 1970s. he has been with the trump family for decades. he knows where all the bodies are buried. as paula indicates fraud crimes require a showing of knowledge. so it's not just the paper trail. it's somebody in addition to michael cohen, presumably, he's already said this before the united states congress, someone like weisselberg to say, listen, mr. trump knew about every maneuver that was happening in the 500 plus organizations that

make up the umbrella trump organization. but this is significant because, remember, the grand jury has been operating since 2019. this is how -- when the supreme court got the tax returns just in february. this is a special grand jury that presumably could be impanelled just to decide whether to press charges rather than gathering evidence. that's what makes it so significant. >> kim, you have a piece out. it's in the atlantic where you write about how the country is now close to first indictment and trial of the former president. could we soon be in uncharted waters here? >> well, absolutely. it's really stunning when you think about how four years ago when people would talk about indicting a sitting president it seemed inconceivable or almost unseemly. alexander hamilton wrote in federalist 64 whoever gets to the office of the presidency will be a man of integrity. this is another norm donald

trump has shattered. we've seen him indicted -- excuse me -- impeached time. that's historic. but even having this conversation, don, is really, really stunning and all the pressure of accountability, frankly, for four years of wrongdoing whether it's legally criminal or not. four years of wrongdoing in the trump administration is coming down to the state of new york, both the manhattan d.a. and the state a.g. because congress hasn't done anything, didn't do anything in impeachment and the justice department won't prosecutes presidents, sitting presidents. and it's hard to tell whether merrick garboundred have an appetite for it. so the states are picking up the slack for the constitution itself in this moment. >> we'll continue to follow. thank you for appreciate it. former president barack obama speaking out about civil rights. she's speaking about policing and using your voice. next someone who was part of that conversation with the former president. professional. a cfp® professional can help you build a complete financial plan.

so take this. gop senators are incredibly worried about woke culture in the banking system. at a virtual hearing senator pat toomey warning big bank ceos not to embrace wokism. watch this. >> i am concerned about increasing pressure on banks to embrace wokism and appease the war left's attacks on capitalism. and i worry that continuing down this path could lead to distorted credit allocation, activists seeking to make political change to the financial system instead of through the democratic process and ultimately diminish prosperity for americans. >> senator tim scott taking a step further admonishing ceos for signing onto a statement last month opposing voting restrictions. >> it did not prevent anyone from voting and frankly made it

easier to vote earlier. and am frankly dumbfounded by the answer to the question was, yes, we support capitalism but the stakeholder capitalism or the woke capitalism seems to be running amok. and i say that because i can't find anyone who answered the question specifically giving me any examples or specific provisions of the law that we don't support. >> so here's what he's complaining about. hundred of companies including bank of america and wells fargo signing an ad in "the new york times" pledging for the right to vote and oppose during the height of georgia's restrictive voting law. remember it was republicans on capitol hill colleagues of senator scott and toomey who voted to cancel millions of votes in arizona and pennsylvania on january 6th with no proof of fraud or rigging. the gop sure likes it when corporations can exercise free speech with campaign contributions to help their

the former president barack

obama says he is hopeful for change in the criminal justice system one year after the murder of george floyd. speaking at an event for my brother's keeper alliance, comparing what is happening now to past years in the civil rights movement. >> some people are calling this now the third reconstruction, the civil rights movement, the '60s, the second reconstruction. the same thing. folks didn't just suddenly, lyndon johnson didn't suddenly one day say, we shall overcome and i'm going to sign a civil rights bill. right? you had seen 10, 15 years of work. so that as the movement got higher profile, there was also an entire infrastructure there, ready to translate that into change. that resulted in the civil rights act and the voting rights act. and i'm seeing that work being done. >> well, here with me now, the

how do we analyze budgets? and make very clear decisions about how money is spend, and who exactly is negotiating with the police officers' union to determine what basic guidelines are in terms of what they are or not held accountable. >> so that's the former president. hindsight is 20/20, right? this is at the national level that they're proposing now, the george floyd justice and policing act. is it enough to make the changes needed and satisfy the issue that president barack obama was just talking about? >> well, i think it's a start. i think it is the beginning of moving that needle in that direction. president obama was talking about how he could help create this moment that we're in right now. push us to this place where we're alone, especially in states where the
