tonight the justice department is releasing more videos never seen before of the violence of the january 6th insurrection. at the capitol, slo showing pol

officers being beaten. the fbi director saying 500 people have now been arrested. republican senator mitt romney and democrat joe mansion saying tonight the bipartisan group of ten senators has reached an infrastructure deal with the white house. but do they have enough votes to get a bill passed? and britney spears pleading with the judge to end the court-ordered conservatorship she lived with since 2008 saying the situation is quote abusive. i want to bring in cnn senior legal analyst ellie. good everyone to you. we have a lot to discuss. these videos are horrific. they're going to keep coming possibly for years. how important is this evidence not just in court but exposing the truth about january 6th? >> don, legally these videos are going to be the heart of the prosecutions of these capitol insurrectionists. as a prosecutor, this is the best possible evidence you can have. all 500 plus of these defendants are charged with one or both. one, assaulting police officers, we're looking at it now. it's as clear as this video.

two is forcible entry at the capitol. more broadly, though, these videos are truth. there is still such thing as truth. there is still such thing as fact at least in our courtrooms and prosecution system and all the denials and spin in the world just cannot change that. that's part of the beauty of our criminal justice process. >> prosecutors also release the video of grady owens attacking police with a skateboard. let's watch and then we'll talk about it . so we've heard the former president and other republicans claim the officers were holding the door open for rioters as they hugged and kissed people. i mean, this just show what is a lie that is.

>> they're not tourists, either. by the way, as you can see in that video. this particular defendant mr. owens is charged with assaulting a police officer and five other crimes. i mean, there it is. assaulting a police officer with a skateboard, i mean, if you've ever held a skateboard, they are heavy. you can kill a person if you hit them with a skateboard so he's as guilty as we saw. a lot of these folks, virtually all of them i expect to plead guilty eventually and it will fall to judges to meet out fair and appropriate sentences. >> always a pleasure, thank you, sir. appreciate it. in the wake of a racial reckoning, after the george floyd murder, school boards are examining ways to better serve in more diverse student body. a long over due change but right wing media is pushing back with critical race theory. the idea is driving a wedge across the country

where parents are fighting against their kids getting taught something they're not actually being taught. laura sanchez has the latest for us. >> reporter: riling up activists across the country. >> shame on you! shame on you! >> reporter: debate over critical race theory in classrooms transforming typically bland school board meetings into the newest front in the culture wars. >> don't leave! don't leave! we came here to accept this is our house. >> reporter: tempering flowing in louden county, virginia last night as competing groups squared off when the public was allowed to comment. crt was not on the agenda, the board had plans to discuss a policy impacting rights of trans gender and gender

expansive students. the crowd growing agitated about both boiling out of control with intimidations and interruptions. >> please respect each other and let everyone have their turn at the mic. >> this is the last and final meeting. >> this board has a dark history of suppressing free speech to punish opponents of critical race theory. >> you're teaching children to hate others because of their skin color and forcing them to lie about other kids' gender. i am disgusted by your bigotry. and your depravity. it's time to replace -- [ cheers ] >> madam chair, i end to move public comment. >> there has been a motion to end public comment. is there a second? >> i second. >> second. >> motion made and executed by ms. king. all in favor please raise your hand and say i.

>> aye. >> the motion carries 9-0. we'll move to the next agenda item. >> reporter: the board unanimously shutting down the public comment portion of the meeting. the superintendent declaring an unlawful assembly as one demonstrator struggling with police arrested after allegedly threatening to hurt someone. >> this is an unlawful arrest. >> reporter: school officials say the crowd has been fueled no a frenzy by falsehoods about students' curriculum spread on cable news and social media though misconception and misinformation persists writes the superintendent, lcps has not adopted critical race theory. >> this is the wokest school board in america and the worst. >> reporter: ian prior heads a group aiming to recall six members of the school board. he says diversity training for teachers that explains critical

race theory finds its way into the classroom. >> now when you see it leak down into the school system and teaching, you have lessons talking about white privilege, micro aggressions, race essentialism as early as second grade. >> reporter: the school board says that's not true. critical race theory is not taught in louden county schools. ian insists he is concerned about what his kids are being taught. >> this is bigger than any one issue. this is bigger than just critical race theory and opening schools. you know, these are parents that just feel their school board is not responsive to parents and is more responsive to small

activists that seem to have the ear of the members of the school board. >> ian also claims members of the school board are involved in a private facebook group promoting critical race theory seeking to target parents who oppose it. a school board spokesperson says the members never took part in plans to persecute anyone and a suggestion that special interest groups influence the school board amounts to nothing more than a conspiracy theory. two important things to keep in mind how wide spread this is truly happening all over the country in florida, texas, indiana, pennsylvania, missouri, et cetera and second, there is an aspect of this dynamic that's curious. lawmakers in many states are trying to ban critical race theory from being taught in the classroom even though it's not. case in point, florida. the florida board of education banned critical race theory a push led by florida governor ron desantis. school administrators will admit it's not actually being taught in the classroom in florida. make of that what you will. >> not being taught and they are all fired up, and that one guy hauled off by police, falling

for nanother big lie. it's really sad. thank you. i want to bring in brenda sheraton. thank you so much. i know this has to be -- this is a very busy and frustrating time for you. you were there last night. what did you think when this was happening. sfla t >> thank you for having me on tonight. what was i thinking? i never thought a school board meeting could ever erupt into such violence. we had a meeting two weeks prior on june 8th so we knew that tensions were high. it was our first in person meeting since covid where we allowed public to stay in the room and we knew tensions were high over our transgender policy. 8040. we knew tensions are continuing to be high over the falsehood being promoted that we have crt in our curriculum and we did our best. i did my best at the beginning of public comment when i introduced it to keep the crowd calm and to also set expectations that we were going to maintain decorum in the room

and, as you can see from the video that is correct is not what happened. >> listen. can we do fact checking? i was looking at something i want to share with you, if i have time. let's do some fact checking. once people say critical race theory teaches children to hate one another. that's wrong. it teaches people to examine history through the lens of race, but before you get to where it is, is critical race theory even being taught in your schools? >> no, it is not. we have a session on our equity plan. we held a work session a couple weeks ago and i pointedly asked the superintendent, and said, is it being caught in our curriculum. once again, over and over again it is no. >> so, brenda, 62 of your school are majority minority.

seven more are within a percentage point of becoming majority minority. is this why you're seeing this backlash? >> i hope not. i lived in louden county for 23 years and i truly hope not. i hope that we are a reflection of the greater united states that our county is diverse and that we would celebrate that. i think perhaps people can be uncomfortable with change of any kind. i really hope that this is not what is doing this. i hope that -- i hope that it is maybe coming out of the pandemic and people were having trouble coping and someone latched on to this and it's erupted. >> okay. this is coming from a conservative think tank a heritage foundation and they have an entire page dedicated to critical race theory including

institutionalizing across american society and purging whiteness to purge capitalism and the left is implementing critical theory in schools. if you combine that with what you see on the fox news channel when it comes to crt, these kind of places where this misinformation is coming from? >> i believe so. i believe that louden county in particular in our school system is being used as a hub to promote these falsehoods and it is unfortunate because we are a stellar school system. we are one of the top school systems in the country, and we are being promoted as something we are not, teaching something we are not and asking people to reflect their own lives and the ease with which they are able to succeed compared to someone who has been part of the marginalized group is uncomfortable. >> yeah. >> but it is a good practice and something we should teach our youth.

>> i want to ask you this. this is what i said if i could get to it. i won't say exactly where it is or who it is but it may change the -- i'm not going to say names here. i'm wondering how frustrating this is because when your job is to teach kids. so i got this from a friend that says a couple months ago, my sibling who is -- who works in a public school system i won't say where is part of a workshop held by teachers, standard and dealing with kids and parents that might come from different backgrounds two. days later one of the school board members who happens to be i won't say what they do wrote a letter in the paper saying they were teaching critical race theory. my sibling gave them the entire curriculum of the workshop, wanted to give them and they declined and didn't want it. never really heard of it and now they have spent three months, the person who works in the school system,

at a series of meetings telling people they are not teaching it because they are not teaching it. it occupies so much of my sibling's time and energy three months onward when they are not tea teaching critical race theory. how frustrating is it for educators to be dealing with b.s. they're not even teaching because it's being stirred up by politicians and propaganda on so-called news networks? >> well, it's incredibly frustrating and the outrage it caused and passion it incites and the organized disruption has prevented us from being able to engage with the public and allow them to have that public comment where they're able to engage with the school board and express their concerns and feelings on any topic and so having to shut down public comment last night is the last thing we wanted to do. but we were not going to be able to keep the room safe. >> yeah. >> the tension in the room was explosive. >> the tension in the room was explosive you said. i cut you off. >> it was. >> yeah. brenda, best of luck to you.

i'm sorry you're having to deal with this. keep us updated on what happens. >> absolutely. thank you so much. top defense department leaders pushing back against republicans in congress today after they were asked about critical race theory and wokeness in the military. general mark milly responding forcefully. here it is. >> on the issue of critical race theory, et cetera, a lot of us have to get smarter on whatever the theory is. but i do think it important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read and the united states military academy is a university, and it is important that we train and we understand, and i want to understand white rage and i'm white and i want to understand it. so what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the constitution of the united states of america? what caused that? i want to find that out.

>> okay, so that was mark milley. joining me the co-author of "hunting the caliphate something . also with me is a national political correspondent from "politico." meredith mcgraw. what an interesting conversation. general, how important is it the top military brass like general milley is speaking out like this? >> first of all, good evening, don. it's extremely important. i've known general mark milley for years and his comments were spot on. the mission of all our military leaders, from our highest general all the way down to our youngest squad leaders is to promote cohesion so that our soldiers, sailors, air men

marines and guardsmen can win america's wars. that's what is behind us is understanding where people are coming from, what they have experienced historically, fact based, but it's about unit cohesion. >> meredith, listen, i know you have a new piece out in politico, president trump are attempting to capitalize off the push against the teaching of critical race theory. steve bannon says it is the tea party to the tenth power and you report that it's only an attempt by republicans to take back power. again, it was a fascinating piece. i encourage everyone to read it. explain to me what is going on, please. >> i think critical race theory is something that has been misunderstood but it really is an issue that his energized a lot of suburbia as we saw in the piece before we came on. louden county an explosive school board meeting, something that i don't think many people have seen lately and that's over this issue of what kind of

curriculum is being taught in schools and, you know, donald trump didn't perform very well with suburban women. we didn't perform very well in much of suburbia for that matter and the right has really captured onto what has really been an organic grassroots movement for parents they say are concerned about the type of curriculum that's being taught in their schools and we've seen a movement among big tanks like heritage. we've seen a lot of former trump advisors start to get involved in organizing on their own and something that republicans say is really polling well for them. i was talking to a republican operative today that shared internal polling that shows just how well this is as an issue is doing among republican voters. it really is an energizing thing and something that they feel like could really help push people to the polls in the

midterm elections especially among demographics they didn't do so well with among college educated women, suburban women, especially in the upcoming elections. >> uh-huh. if you can find some of the video from that meeting, because, as my producer pointed out as we were looking at that video, these aren't, you know, these aren't like signs that you just make with your hand. right? these were printed. the people -- look. there they are. the people handing them out. they had been previously been made. so there is a strategy by hind this, meredith and the proof is in what you see in that crowd. the kinds of signs you're seeing and the passion that you are discussing here. >> yeah, and it's something when i talk to steve bannon with former chief campaign strategists, he brought up, you know, the tea party movement was

something that came out with a lot of anger towards obamacare, a lot of anger toward the deficit, the budget, sometimes nebulous stuff and this topic is something that a lot of parents think is reaching their own children, reaching their own schools and as you've seen in these videos, it's incredibly emotional for a lot of them and something that political organizers, political activists on the right see as a real opportunity here but for a lot of parents, they do feel like this is a grass roots movement. this is something happening school board by school board and something steve bannon said himself. he said this is the type of emotion and the type of heated arguments that he really hasn't seen since the tea party movement that ushered in republican control in 2020 and excuse me, in 2010. >> 2010. general, you know, you saw that exchange with the general today and after that exchange with the generals, congressman matt gaetz tweeted with generals like this,

it is no wonder we have fought considerably more wars than we have won. what do you say to congressman gaetz, general? >> obviously, that was a silly comment by congressman gaetz. we have military leaders looking at history through a fact based perspective. there is misinformation out there about critical race theory and when critical race theory is still merely a tool to help people understand history of racism in our country. again, it's fact based. fact. 1619 is when we first had slaves come to the american shores. a year before the pilgrims, fact. our constitution 1788 african-americans were three fifths of citizens. fact, we fought a civil war over slavery. the bloodiest war america has

ever fought. fact, it took 100 years after the civil war to end segregation which was worse than apartheid. so those are facts. it's something that should be part of the curriculum and a part of what people are talking about in the military so you can understand where people are coming from to help promote unit cohesion. >> yeah, and just so you know, k through 12, k through 12, listen, everyone as we have said from every single person who has been on here, school board leaders, superintendents, critical race theory is not being taught in schools k through 12. it is taught in law school, legal courses in college. but not in grade school. it's all a big lie. thank you both. i appreciate it. we'll keep talking about it and keep discussing. appreciate having you here. >> thank you, don. there is a bipartisan group of senators and they say they have a deal on infrastructure

and the white house believes it will get the support of at least ten republicans, blue all 50 democrats get on board is the question. neutrogena® beach defense® the suncare brand used most by dermatologists and their families, neutrogena® for people with skin.

president biden will meet to strike a deal on infrastructure. mitt romney and democratic senator joe manchin say they have an agreement on a bill that will cost $1.2 trillion over eight years with $579 billion in new spending. both senators saying the bill is fully paid for and offsets the new spending. let's discuss. cnn senior political analyst kirsten powers and scott jennings. both here, good evening to both of you. kirsten, let see. let's start with the sources telling cnn the white house believes this agreement will have the support of ten senate republicans but it is unclear if they'll have enough democrats, warren and sanders said they won't get behind it. how do you see this playing out? >> well, i mean, i think they're going to try to take a complex approach to this in terms of trying to maybe break it up into

different bills in order to, you know, pass something that they can get support of republicans on and maybe do something different separately that could make progressives happy. but this is kind of the puzzle that i think biden always is facing is how to piece something together that can get enough support because if you do something that the republicans might support, then you are going to lose the progressives and vice versa. so you know, i think -- i don't like to make predictions but i assume something will get passed, it's just a question of what it will look like. will it be something that, you know, progressives look at and say this wasn't enough? >> scott, let me ask you about rob portman. rob is one of the lead infrastructure negotiators that says they still have final

details to work out and still needs to go through mcconnell, who is determined to block biden's agenda. do you think he will let this deal go through? >> i think the devil will be in the details here specifically on the pay fors. i know they said it's paid for so what i'm looking for, don, is whether they've agreed to any tax increases in this or whether it's largely going to be paid for with unspent coronavirus relief money because if that is the way they've gone on this, if you look at the top line number of 1.2 trillion and if they go down the road of using unspent coronavirus relief money, that looks a heck of a lot like when mcconnell and republicans tossed out several weeks ago when shelly moore capito was talking to joe biden at the white house. and so the top line number looks good to me, frankly, if you're a republican but again, the pay fors are where i think republicans will want to see the details because as you know, tax increases have been a non-starter and on mcconnell, he's never said he doesn't want an infrastructure deal.

roads, bridges, airports and seaports. that's where they want, you have the makings of a real possibility here. >> kirsten, tonight we're learning the biden administration is forcing out the border patrol chief who took over the agency while trump was in office, rodney scott was a big supporter of trump's border policies. what do you make of this move before the vice president, vice president kamala harris heads down to the border on friday? >> i think it's a signal of, you know, there is a new sheriff in town and we're going to do things a little bit differently and, you know, i think that obviously the trump view of the situation on the boarder and anyone in line with that view is out of step with the way the biden administration is approaching the issue. the biden administration does not view the people on the border as invaders, as you remember donald trump referred to them as.

they have more of a point of view these are desperate people and the vice president spending a lot of time trying to actually deal with what should have always been what the approach was, which is deal with the root issue, why are they coming here? you're going to have to change conditions in the countries they are coming from that they're -- they don't feel they can live in for a variety of reasons whether they don't feel safe or because of poverty so yeah, so i think it's just a very clear marker that they're taking things in a different direction. >> all right, kiersten, scott, thank you both very much. appreciate it. president biden warning crime could get worse amid big spikes we're seeing. could the defund the police message hurt democrats down the road? it's a simple fact: nothing kills more germs on more surfaces than lysol spray. it's a simple fact: it even kills the covid-19 virus. science supports these simple facts. there's only one true lysol. lysol. what it takes to protect.

lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. so you can enjoy it even if you're sensitive to dairy. so anyone who says lactaid isn't real milk is also saying mabel here isn't a real cow. and she really hates that.

this... is what freedom sounds like. and this. this is what freedom smells like. mabel here isn't a real cow. ahhh, enjoy 30 days of open-road freshness. febreze car.

crime is surging and

homicide rates in new york, los angeles and chicago spiking from the same point last year and the year before. president biden is warning the violence could get worse this summer, so he's unveiling a new strategy, focussing on getting guns off the streets and giving law enforcement more resources. joining me democratic congresswoman ayanna pressley of massachusetts. i want to talk about this new report that shows dozens of cities and counties are seeing an increase in homicides and aggravated assaults this year but you support defunding the police. is that the right message for where we are right now? >> you know, don, what i support is our making investments in communities that have historically been under investment -- under invested in, divested from forcing people to struggle to meet their basic

needs and often times that behavior to survive is criminalized and that's everything from poverty to homelessness to substance use disorder to mental health and so, you know, what i support is an investment in community and i think if we do that robustly, in a targeted way, particularly to those communities that have historically been under resourced, that supports the health of community and stabilization of families and in turn, that supports public safety. >> listen, i don't want to put words in your mouth or mischaracterize when you support. you don't support defunding the police. you support what you're seeing now is defunding the police not part of something you support? >> don, what i support and why i put forward bills like my counseling not criminalization

act, is that instead of our spending $1 billion over the last two decades to have 46,000 school police officers when every child does not have equatable access to a school nurse, social worker or guidance counselor, some of the ratios are one counselor for every 2,000 students. so yes, i support a radical re-imagining of community safety and public safety, which means reallocating and not further investing in a state when we have not yet ended qualified immunity. >> yeah. >> so that needs to be the priority is police accountability. >> well, congresswoman, some of your colleagues are frustrated with president biden because he hasn't been more forceful on voting rights. how do you see that? >> well, you know, certainly

that's fundamental to our democracy and i would -- i think the ultimate goal here needs to be not a talking point of bipartisanship but of justice and that includes voter rights, that includes infrastructure, that includes lowering the cost of prescription drugs and the republican colleagues as we saw last night continue to obstruct the will and to deny the urgent needs of everyone who calls this country home. while we are in the midst of recovering from a pandemic, this is a backlash certainly in response to a growing electorate and this is voter suppression pure and simple. >> let's talk about policy. the white house is getting close to a deal on infrastructure but your colleagues are threatening to block this item if voting reform isn't resolved first. is that something you're willing to do, congresswoman?

>> i'm a sophomore in congress now but even if that were not the case, don, i'm new to i'm not new to legislating. i'm no obstructionist. i'll seek to be responsive to the needs of the people i represent so i'm a thoughtful and deliberate lawmaker and i push for more until the ink is dry and i see where i land and how to move. right now i'm going to continue to push for a bill that honors an expanded definition of infrastructure and includes things like the care economy, which is infrastructure and is critical to our recovery. >> congresswoman eayanna pressley, appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. britney spears says she's traumatized, forced to use birth control and put on lithium despite her objections and she wants out of the conservatorship

britney spears pleading with a judge to end the court order of conservativeship she lives under saying the situation is quote, abuse i. i want to bring a civil rights attorney. areva martin. glad you're here. let's get to it. thank you so much. britney spears has lived under this conservatorship since 2008. most arrangements are for elderly people and mentally disabled people and she's released several albums and had her vegas residency. how unusual is an arrangement like this for a successful 39-year-old woman? >> hello, don.

good to see you. you're right. this is incredibly unusual and i think britney put it best when she said it's abusive. you think of conservatorship you think of someone in their 80s or 90s that suffered from dementia or alzheimer's that can't make decisions. they are mentally incapacitated. britney spears is none of that as you appropriately stated, this woman has been working and not just working a 9:00 to 5:00 job but performing on a high level. she was judge for one year on a national competition show. she's toured the world, giving concerts. so, when you think about who is incapacitated, her picture should be nowhere near incapacitated. it's bother some to me as a lawyer the court system allowed to conservatorship to go on for as long as it has. i applaud her for her bravery and courage to speak up and advocate for herself and not just herself.

britney is a mother of two kids and wants to have another child she says she wants to get married and she is forced to wear an iud so even decisions about her own reproductive rights have been deprived. she's been deprived of those rights and i can't think of any legal reason why this conservatorship is still in place. >> listen. she feeds a lot of mouths and runs companies, right? there are a lot of people who depend on britney spears' success. confidential papers reveal that britney spears has been pushing to end her conservatorship for years now, even as early as 2014. she went to explore removing her father as a conserve tore. why has this gone on for so long? >> you know, that's the million dollar question, don. why has this gone on so long? why has the court allowed it and why does britney's father, this is her biological father.

you would think in the interest of a father-daughter relationship he would voluntary end this relationship. but you stated again appropriately that a lot of mouths are being fed. these conservatorships are expensive to run and a lot of people are getting paid who profit from britney spears' talent and labor and the fact it's gone on so long speaks really poorly of our court system and i'm hopeful that today is the beginning, marks the beginning of what will soon be the end of this conservatorship. >> always good to see you. we'll continue to report on this story and have you back. thank you very much >> thanks, don, good to see you. >> you, too. we'll be right back.
