in new york, nothing says back to normal like a big, sold-out show at the garden. that is what happened sunday night. capacity crowd, a maskless-capacity crowd there to see foo fighters. all you needed was the ticket price and proof of vaccination. this was the first concert at madison square garden since the pandemic shut down the city. remarkable sight to see. front man, dave grohl, stopped several times to ask the crowd, did you miss it? he also had a surprise guest.

comedian dave chapelle joined the band on stage. looks like a great time. the news continues, want to turn thig things over now to don lemon and "cnn tonight." don. >> thank you, anderson. happy-belated father's day. i hope it was a really good one. i can't do a lot of things as well as dave chapelle. this is "don lemon tonight." thank you so much for joining us. 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 haven't bleeped the language, okay? we haven't 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 didn't 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 armor-clad men milling outside the capitol. here it is. >> take the fucking capitol. >> tighten up. tighten up. >> let's 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 red-and-white 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 former-president 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 can't take our democracy for granted. around the world, we've seen once-vibrant 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 january-6th commission. when they sided with the big lie, and the disgraced, twice-impeached, one-term, former president, who spread that lie. and they are poised to do it, again, tomorrow. that's 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 won't stand up for what might be our most cherished right and that's the right to vote. >> are you afraid to debate it? do you not have any good arguments? you lose an election, ayou're nt supposed to stop people from voting even if they didn't vote for you. >> well, mitch mcconnell, who, let's remember, said that he is 100% focused on stopping president joe biden's 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. that's why the senate will give this disastrous proposal no order. >> he kind of said it in democrats' favor. but fairness? is that what's 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 doesn't seem to care about the issues. they don't seem to care about what's good for america, what's good for our democracy. this is a gop that only cares about one thing. and that's 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? former-president 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. they're, suddenly, afraid to even talk about these issues, and figure out solutions on the floor of the senate. they don't even want to talk about voting.

and that's not acceptable. >> so, and we know what these efforts to suppress the vote are all about. it's 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 didn't. it did not. there was the trump backlash. the election of the man who started his political career, with the racist-birther lie that barack obama was not born in this country. then, we got the big lie. and now, the assault on voting rights. we haven't made as much progress as you would think, as people would like to think. and what progress we have made, we have made some. let's -- don't get me wrong. but the progress we've made is

really fragile. a new study from the university of california berkeley finds that most-major 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 that's in spite of fair-housing 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 haven't 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 isn't very nice, is it? >> well, and then, there is this. uncovered by cnn's k-file. ron johnson telling a radio interviewer that he wants to celebrate juneteenth, because

it's a republican holiday. no, senator, it's an american holiday. he went on to say that he doesn't want to give federal workers another day off. like i said, we haven't made as much progress as you'd like to think. but we have made some. we really have. and it's 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 first-active nfl player in the league history, in league history, to announce that he is gay. >> what's up, people? i'm 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 coming-out 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 that's accepting, that's 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 suicide-prevention 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. 1-866-488-7386. 866-488-7386. that's the trevor project. carl nassib, congratulations. and happy pride, everyone. now, i want to turn to cnn's paula reid because she's got some more information on our breaking news tonight. thanks for joining us. those newly-released 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 trusted-senior 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 police-riot shield during the siege. now, we have a longer clip where you can see donoghue. his face is covered with a white-striped bandana and he is looking on as others in the crowd take down four police officers walking the stairwell into the capitol. let's 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 pro-trump 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 haven't been released publicly. the videos also provide one of the first sets of these up-close 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 right-wing websites, right-wing 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 it's all but certain to fail. what happens, next, in the battle for voting rights? >> we're going to have to be vigilant in fighting back against attempts, by the few, to silence the many. and that's why what's 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...i'll be eating crab cakes with spicy aioli. (doorbell rings) thank you. can we be besties, simone biles? i guess? yessss! should we dismount now? it's a very critical week for the biden administration. democrats are trying to pass some top agenda items before the july-4th break, including voting rights, infrastructure. also, police reform. so joining me now is matthew dowd, the former-chief strategist for president george w. bush. always a pleasure to have you on. good evening, sir. so let's talk about tomorrow's vote -- tomorrow's vote on voting rights. key priority for biden. for the biden agenda.

it's all destined to fail, though. republicans are against it. and it's still unclear if democrats will stick together on this. democrats know the 60 votes aren't there. so, what's 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 don't 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 doesn't want to get rid of the filibuster because she

doesn't want to endanger democracy. but what she's doing is she's endangering democracy by sticking with the filibuster. i mean, to me, as i thought about this. it's a bit like having a passenger boat, and saying it's about to sink. and we -- we're only going to make repairs, when we get it to shore because that's what we always do. we're not going to repair the boat. so she is just going to let the boat sink because that's not what we do. that's the problem here. and the other part of this is everybody that's 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 can't have a relationship. and you can't have bipartisanship. >> so, listen. every day, i'm 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 break-glass moment, in

your estimation? >> oh, it's a complete-break-glass 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 wasn't 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 break-glass moment, in our country's history. this is one of those moments. that everybody has to put all of these old traditions. they are not in the constitution. the filibuster's not in the constitution. what is in the constitution is that we're, all, supposed to be created equal, in this process. and we're, 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 don't think -- obviously, this is not going to be something, oh, it will be fine. everybody, after january 20th, it'll be fine because donald trump's going back to florida and everything will be fine. well, it's worse, today. in my view, it is worse today

than it was during the four years of president trump's presidency. that's the problem. >> i want to share something. it's from "new york times" columnist charles blough and here's what he writes. he says, democrats, republicans don't want you to win. it's that simple. they want no successes, on your watch. i say dispense with the phony, wish-driven 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 haven't 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 that's 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. we're not getting it. 80% of the public wants a raise in the minimum wage. we're not getting it. 70% of the public wants something done on climate change, and something real reform done on climate change. we're not getting it done. more -- a majority of the country wants more expansion of healthcare. it's not getting done. all of those things that are happening. and now, the most fundamental thing that exists and it's 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 people's ability to vote and hold somebody accountable. then, people can do what they want and that is eat sithe situ we're 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. it's not. the world's 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 -- we've gone even beyond that. it was bad enough, then. you know what mitch mcconnell said. i want to make him a one-term 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. i'm not saying that that's 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 don't 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 people's rights are in this country. it's 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 that's the difference between democrats and republicans. and i've noticed this over the years but it's -- it's 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 i'm 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 don't think -- and believe me, don, i think the democratic party is the only vehicle, today, to protect our republic. i think it's the only vehicle, today, and i think republicans need to suffer devastating losses because it's the only way they're 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 i'm on ex-subcommittee 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. it's just performative. and it doesn't -- what does it accomplish? it doesn't accomplish anything. it doesn't save the democracy. it doesn't help the democracy, nor does it help the republic. and it's time for, you're right. someone -- this is a break-glass 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 it's 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. that's -- 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. new york city mayoral candidates in a campaign blitz before tomorrow's democratic primary focusing on rising crime all across the city. and 11th-hour alliances are adding all kinds of complications to how the race will play out. request check it out. we have another candidate for you this evening. there she is. candidate katherine garcia, joins me next. ana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online. now we've created a brand-new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions. and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds. when you're ready, we'll come to you, pay you on the spot and pick up your car, that's it. so ditch the old way of selling your car, and say hello to the new way at carvana.

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 covid-infection 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, i'm thrilled to be with you. >> so let's 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. i've 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 you're 16 to 24. we have to make sure that we're doing the reform required and getting the culture changed in the nypd. so it's not a warrior class. it's a guardian class for all of our communities and i know that i am the one to put that in place. i mean, let's be honest. his union didn't even endorse him. they don't 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 co-endorse him. what is that? why are you joining forces? what is going on? >> actually, we are saying the same thing we've 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, i'm going to continue on. and we'll 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, i'm here. >> ah, you froze but we're good. i'm glad you are back.

so listen. let's 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, that's the number-one issue. and you said we need the reforms that we need in police departments and so on. but that's 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 don't 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. don't bet against new york city. chances are, new york city's 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. that's all well and good. but you can't bring a life back. and when you -- when people are

concerned about their safety and the safety of their loved ones. that's a whole-nother level. so, what is your plan? that is the number one issue, i'm telling you, that's all people talk to me about, kathryn. >> oh it's 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. that's why we need to make sure that we are doubling the size of the nypd's gun-suppression unit. these are the folks who do the hard-investigative work that we have real neighborhood policing. where we are making it so that there is trust with community because you can't clear crimes, solve them, if you don't 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 that-specific 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. that's hurting. i am not saying it's true or not but that's what the former police commissioner is saying. he is also saying the reforms that have happened, especially like bail reform, it's really hurting the crime rate. and it's causing crime rates to spike. he said some people should be in jail. at this point. what -- what do you make of what the former-police commissioner said? >> look. i've 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. no-good 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 african-american, hispanic candidates in the race, what message were you sending during this time that we're talking about how do you empower various-ethnic groups in politics? >> he is a leading democratic contender. what is he talking about? what's 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 rank-choice 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 wi-fi in the city. we -- we tried to have eric adams on. we lost him one night because we couldn't get an internet connection. we had an internet problem with maya wiley. and we have an internet problem with you. so we hope that's, 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.

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 can't take our democracy for granted. around the world, we've seen once-vibrant 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. and these impulses have crept into the united states. we are not immune from some of these efforts to weaken our democracy. >> someone who's done the work on all of this. right after the break, latosha

even use the filibuster to stop debate really talks about there's no interest in passing voting rights or even being supportive of voting rights. they've taken the role of just being obstructionist, that fundamentally when you're talking about the principle of democracy, while they throw that word around, and they don't even do that very often, they don't fundamentally believe in the value and the principle of democracy. right now i think the biggest fight that we've 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 don't 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 nation's 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.

it's 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. >> i'm glad you said that because voting rights is not about ideology. it's not about left and right. this is a fundamental american right, the right to vote. there's nothing that's 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 that's 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 we're 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 we're 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. i'm going to let you continue on here. listen, i'm not cutting you off. listen, you were in 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 hasn't stopped. we need federal legislation. we need the for the people act and john lewis voter advancement act. there's no way around it. we're going to have to have federal legislation to actually protect the right to vote in this nation. >> listen, let me tell everyone. i'm just going to be transparent. latosha is all dressed up and

seize she's looking amazing now. her bus tour started already, and she's out working for you. this is someone who is actually doing the work. latosha, i love having you on. i love what you're doing. it's so patriotic, and it's so american. thanks for standing up for all people, republican and democrats, and the right to vote, okay? thank you so much. >> thank you for having me, don. >> absolutely. here's the breaking news that i mentioned just moments ago that i have to tell you about. the doj is releasing videos from the capitol riot, and we have them. we're going to go through them. don't go anywhere. that's next. what if you could e the perspective to see more? at morgan stanley, a global collective of thought leaders offers investors a broader view. ♪ we see companies protecting the bottom line by putting people first. we see a bright future, still hungry for the ingenuity of those ready for the next challenge. today, we are translating decades of experience
