so here's the breaking news. was so afraid the president would attempt a coup that he and other top officials made plans on how they would stop anything like that from happening. also tonight another explosive new book details the dysfunction and delusion inside the white house after the former president lost the election.

no one would tell him the truth. but enablers like rudy giuliani told him that he won. and a major court victory for britney spears. the judge permits her to hire her own lawyer as she battles to end the court-ordered conservatorship. gentlemen, good evening to you. thank you so much for joining. john, let's talk about this. this is frightening. the country's top military officer reportedly preparing to stop the then president from attempting a coup. they write about this at the chairman of the joint chiefs mark milley and i quote, they may try but they're not going to f'ing succeed, he told them. you can't do this without the military, the cia and the fbi. we are the guys with the guns. according to this, trump would stop at nothing, nothing to stay in power.

should we be surprised? i don't know. it seems like it is beyond. >> i think we should be surprised because this is objectively shocking. there is nothing like this in all of american history, to see top generals actively concerned that the president of the united states, their commander in chief would try to execute a military coup by stoking unrest and invoking the insurrection act. that shows you how close we came as a democracy to the dismantling of our democracy. while the guard rails held, all these enablers in addition to trump supporters weeks ahead of january 6th, this was going on. it is a stark reminder of just not how crazy things were but how dangerous things remain for our democracy and we cannot begin to normalize it. we need to strengthen those yesterday because they almost didn't hold. >> he viewed trump as the

classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose. apparently he saw parallels between hitler's rhetoric as a victim and savior and trump's false claims of election fraud. i mean, this is a sort of a -- this is the quote here. it said this is a moment, milly told aids according to this book. the gospel of the fuhrer. it is a stunning parallel. what do you think? >> you see why the entire republican infrastructure and apparatus is so dead set against a more fuller understanding of what trump did with the power of the presidency, why they are fighting a january 6th commission, why you have so many conservative columnists who have spent years trying to argue that trump is not really an authoritarian threat as a way of excusing the choice to enable

and excuse all of his authoritarian actions. this underscores something we talked about before. trump may seek the power of the presidency again in 2024. and, yet, we know very little. we may have just scratched the surface about what he did with that power when he had it the first time. our colleague john dean said to me a few weeks ago for a story i was writing we knew so much more about what nixon had done when he left office than we do about trump when he left office. to me, it underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding and investigation not just journalists or random investigations here or there of what he did with the power before he potentially asks for it again. >> listen, this is really sort of just a follow-up of what you are saying here because what's being described here is terrifying, but he is still the leader of the gop. as you said, he may seek the presidency again. why is reporting like this giving republicans pause?

>> i think that is the key question, don. what is it going to take? if you consider yourself a super patriot, then you have to believe in our democracy and the constitution. as you see more and more concrete examples, not from democrats or journalists but marine generals saying that this man was an unhinged threat to our democracy who they were concerned was contemplating a coup before the attack on our cap capitol, what's it going to take? what's it going to take to break that fever spell to say if that's not wrong, we don't know what's wrong. but we're not hearing that. we desperately need a democracy reform movement now because one political party is still enthralled with somebody who marine generals were going to execute a dcoup d'état against

our government. >> we're witnessing the opposite. republicans are not only failing to push back against trump's evidence, but they are acting upon it to create more strains on democracy to create more capacity for republican-elected officials to subvert an election in 2024. all of this is coming to a head, i think, very soon in congress. democrats have to decide after the supreme court made clear they're not going to stop what's going on. the texas democrats flying to washington, it makes clear they don't have the votes in states. reinforce the guard rails of democracy is their ability to pass national legislation. and we will see whether joe manchin and kyrsten sinema will prioritize minority rights in the country. >> more than 99% of these deaths are among unvaccinated people.

so many republicans are pushing these dangerous lies about the vaccine. the white house is trying to push back on this disinformation. the president talking about that today. but how? >> well, i mean, simply i hope by appealing to a sense of patriotic urgency in the face of a pandemic and making these folks realize -- >> wait. have you met our republican party? have you been asleep for the last two years? >> well, the real deal is there is a red state/blue state divide. it will be increasingly deadly in the days and weeks ahead. those folks that spread this disinformation, that conservative conspiracy stuff will kill them. that's how sick it is right now. >> thank you, gentlemen. thanks so much. now i want to bring in wall street journal's white house reporter michael bender, the author of "frankly, we did win

this election. the inside story of how trump lost". >> how i have waited for this moment. i was watching all your interviews and said, when do i get my chance with michael. your book lays out the incredible dysfunction in the trump white house that no one wanted to tell him that he had lost the election. they told that they were being respectful of the president and giving him the kind of space he required to blow off steam after a crushing defeat on the biggest stage in politics. but they were creating an opening for giuliani and the most dangerous elements inside trump world, a horrifying nexus of sycophants and you paths who were willing to say anything to keep trump in power and their own feet in the door. >> right. >> so his advisers had confronted trump with the truth,

do you think the insurrection could have been prevented? do you think the big lie could have been prevented? >> it is a fair question here, and it is a real failure of imagination from the people closest to trump in the white house at the campaign to believe what trump had been telling all of us for five years, that he was never going to lose. it would always be fraud. other politicians were not to be trusted. courts were not to be listened to. he would always be acquitted. he would never fade away. i mean, this is what he had been telling us since 2016. and i think what this book does and lays out in -- in a way that we knew about the chaos at the white house, this shows the -- how many officials thought trump was dangerous for the country. back in june, he told his team that he wanted to shoot peaceful protesters. by the end of the 2020, his

secretary of state was worried trump might try to start a war to stay hold -- to stay in office. >> you said the crazies have taken over. he conveyed concern to others that mr. trump might be more willing to engage in an international conflict to strengthen his political argument for remaining in office. that is horrifying. i mean, why didn't anybody speak up? go on. >> well, no. it is a fair question. i mean, mike pompeo did speak up. he told us all that trump was going to have a peaceful transition to a second term after the election. there is a real dichotomy here. i think the -- how worried some of these staffers were and advisers were back in june and during covid where he was a risk to his own health and as well as to the country, you know, and

then we got to the point, don, where republicans, senior republicans in the party, senior staffers at the republican party didn't vote for trump. but somehow after the election, everyone kind of took a step back and just assumed that -- that because trump wasn't screaming and foaming at the mouth as some of them have described this president in the days after the election that he was going to find his own way to concede. i mean, ivanka trump left some staffers in the white house with the impression that her father was going to invite joe biden into the white house for transition meetings just like obama had done for him. >> yeah, right. that was never going to happen. >> you said senior officials in the administration didn't vote for him, right? >> at the republican party. >> the republican party, got it. got it. michael, listen, this is important because you wrote about trump's reaction to that horrific video of george floyd's killing. >> yeah. >> and i know these f'ing cops,

trump said. they can get out of control sometimes. they can be rough. trump's assessment struck some in the room as surprisingly critical in the police and he showed a level of empathy for floyd behind closed doors that he would never fully reveal in public. so of course we never saw that side of trump. we saw the opposite. why is that? >> from my reporting and talking to people around him, the -- he very quickly takes this personally. you know, even watching the video, don, it takes him a couple of days to see the video. and he never watches it fully through. and, you know, we have seen moments of him throughout the administration where he's very moved by images, right? we have seen him make decisions internationally after seeing war zones where children are maimed. he's a very visceral person.

so he sees this, and he reacts, an emotional reaction and takes it personally and sees the protest which are obviously an outpouring of years of, you know, black americans having to walk with racial indignities, face racism on a daily basis in the country and finally just cracking open in the streets of america. somehow trump internalizes that as a protest against him and he views that as making him look weak somehow, and that's really what guides the decisions in the response to those protests. >> just a quick answer. >> yeah. >> does he still have yes men and women all around him now? so that what's happening? >> well, that's how trump operates, right? as long as you -- if you push back, you are only going to last so long around him. >> another quick answer because you spent a lot of time with the people who are out there.

some of them quit their jobs. they believe anything he says. i would think like an eroticism or some sort of attraction. i don't mean that in a sexual way, but there is something, some sort of pull he has on them that is quite odd even when he lies to them, they love it. what did you learn about these folks? >> well, i do think there is a real sense of community for those folks. >> is it because he'll say whatever they want to hear that reinforces their beliefs? go ahead. i'm sorry. >> no, these are fair questions. but these are folks who are trying to fill time in their days. i spent time with people who went to 30, 40, 50 rallies and they formed their own community, not unlike a grateful dead following where they stay at each other's house along the way. and in a lot of ways, the president enriched their lives, made them, emboldened them to

speak up for themselves at work in ways they hadn't before. but what we see, by the end of the year, is they're just misled and their words are shrunk again. after november 7th when the election is called by fox news, the network that had been the background music for a lot of them, they turn it off, right? i mean, their news inputs shrink and they go to the rallies. why? to hear what the news is from trump as one of these rally goers told me, how else would we know what's going on? >> boy. well, hard to feel sorry for that, especially with adults. but oh well. michael, thank you. please come back. >> sounds back. we have new developments on a story we have been following. the manufactured outrage over critical race theory. parents all across the country are up in arms even though the theory isn't taught to children and it is not about hating white

people. next we will talk to a school board official who is getting death threats over something that is not even happening. (man) i've made progress with my mental health. so when i started having unintentional body movements called tardive dyskinesia... ... i ignored them. but when the movements in my hands and feet started throwing me off at work... i finally had to say, 'it's not ok.' it was time to talk to my doctor about austedo. she said that austedo helps reduce td movements in adults... ...while i continue with most of my mental health medications. (vo) austedo can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington's disease. pay close attention to and call your doctor if you become depressed, have sudden changes in mood, behaviors, feelings, or have suicidal thoughts. common side effects include inflammation of the nose and

throat, insomnia and sleepiness. don't take austedo if you have liver problems, are taking reserpine, tetrabenazine, or valbenazine. austedo may cause irregular or fast heartbeat, restlessness, movements mimicking parkinson's disease, fever, stiff muscles, problems thinking, and sweating. (man) talk to your doctor about austedo... it's time to treat td. td is not ok. visit askforaustedo.com

so we have been covering this for a while now. we will continue our coverage with the manufactured outrage over critical race theory. last night we brought you an in-depth investigation from sara side ler. >> it's become a political rallying cry. >> shame on you! >> critical race theory is bigoted. it is a lie. and it is every bit as racist as the klansmen in white sheets.

>> but it is not a new idea. the theory's origins date back to the 1970s. >> real evil was racism, the determination of white america to remain dominant over black americans. and that could take all kinds of forms. >> harvard's first tenured black law professor is considered one of the originators of the academic study. >> both history, my experience, current events as we read them all point to one conclusion about racism in this society. and that is that it is permanent. that it is an essential. it is not an on raberration. >> race is a socially constructed category used to oppress people of color. and the law in legal institutions are inherently racist because they functioned to create and then maintain social, economic and political inequalities between whites and non-whites. >> so at a virginia school board

meeting one of the contentious moments was covered by our team back in june. here is some of that. it was from boris sanchez. watch this. >> tempers flaring in lauden county, virginia as groups squared off when the public was allowed to comment. though crt was not on the agenda, the board has plans to discuss a policy impocketing rights of transgender students. the crowd growing agitated about both, boiling out of control with intimidation and interruptions. >> people were screaming. they were cursing. they were throwing things at the school board. >> so please respect each other and let everyone have their turn at the mic. >> this is your last and final

warning. >> well, since then, the situation is getting even more volatile. the school board official you saw there, she is getting death threats. she's hear to talk about. welcome back to the show. >> thank you, don. >> i'm so sorry this is happening to you. it's been almost a month since we had you on, since the drama at a school board meeting. how have things been for you since then? >> i would -- troubling, concerning and at the same time just making it more important that we continue our practice of diversity of inclusion and that it is something we absolutely we need to do. the e-mails we received as board members and i have a stack of letters sitting next to me at my desk that highlight the racism

and bigotry that is live and well. i received letters from people across the country pretty hateful towards me but also just highlighting their bigotry and racism. >> so you tell parents, okay, i'm going to be very clear. you tell parents that critical race theory is not being taught in classrooms but you say nobody believes you. why is that? you are the chair of the school board? >> don, crt is the big lie of education. it is being used to divide our county and our country. this is happening in school board meeting rooms across the country. i have been reached out to by so many different people. i'm so grateful for that that are in there with us. we're just the ones being highlighted because of probably our locality being so close to d.c. but our county is divided.

just as our country was divided under the previous administration. we have professional agitators using students as pawns to win the virginia governor's race. people keep asking me if i think it will die down over the summer and we get back to school five days a week. what i really believe is that it will continue and people will continue to use nonissues to raise and garner support from uninformed voters through our mid-term elections and all the way through the next presidential election. this isn't going away. >> people who are outraged over what they call critical race theory say things like white students are being told that they are evil. can you set the record straight. what kind of conversations are teachers and students having about race? and at what ages? >> so you can have a conversation about being inclusive with any grade level. you can have a conversation about how you can listen to the

student sitting next to you and professional development for our teachers in all grade levels that when they call on a student and a student perhaps is misbehaving to find out why. so if you are going to look at my file who is white and treat them differently than a student of color or a special education student, we need to know that -- we need to teach our teachers and our school staff that they have biases and not to be ashamed of your biases but to recognize them and reflect on them so when you do look at those three students who may be exhibiting the same behaviors or may not be turning in their homework, if you are going to ask one student, oh, is something wrong, but you are going to discipline the other students, you have a bias. and to just look at that before you make those decisions in the classroom or if you send a student to the principal's office. our discipline to proportionality is there. we know it exists. we have addressed it over the years that i have been on the board. in the ten years we have made

huge leaps and bounds in that area, but we still have work to do. there is so much work to do. and like i said, the letters and the threats and the outrage and the use of the n word in some of the e-mails i'm getting, it's astounding to me because i really think previously it wasn't acceptable to send e-mails like that and to be a keyboard warrior. and it is all of a sudden acceptable to bring that back to the light and to highlight your own bigotry and if i could just read the last two sentences of a letter i received today that says blm and crt is not what the american want. so the school board better be careful. if blacks aren't careful, a race war could break out in the united states and blacks would come out at the short end of the stick. somebody wrote that to me and

i'm astounded that in 2021 we're still addressing this. >> listen, i wish i could say i'm astounded but as you can imagine being someone in the public eye, it is actually not surprising, especially over the past five years. there has been legitimacy lent to the big gots in this country, and they have come out of the wood work because of the lies that you have told. and it's sad that the folks are limiting their children's growth with this sort of attitude. thank you very much. good luck to you. be safe. be safe. >> thank you. thanks. so britney spears getting a key win in court today and celebrating after. so the major step to freedom she is taking, we'll do that next. look at her doing cartwheels.

lisa, thank you very much. do you want to get that? >> no. i don't need it. sorry. >> tell them to call you back. i'm talking to don lemon on cnn. >> i had silence for two hours. >> murphy's law. that's how it happens. britney spears is one step closer to freedom. she now has her own lawyer matthew rosengard. can you explain how significant this is? >> it is extremely significant, and i'm so happy that the court recognized that britney spears has now and always was supposed to be represented by an attorney of her own choice. the manner in which the c conservatorship has been established has always been quite troubling to me because as we now know brittney attempted to hire an attorney to represent her and resist at the very least the appointment of her father as

her conservator. 13 years later, she clearly expressed how unhappy she's been. she feels like she's been traumatized and abused. so i'm very pleased with this development. it is consistent with her right to a fair process and a fair hearing. so it was a good day for britney spears. >> it was, as you said, it was an emotional day in court. she wants to press charges against her father saying i want to press charges against my father today. i want an investigation into my dad. how do you see that playing out? how do your clients handle situations like this or have they ever been in situations like this? >> the greatest irony is that we in the probate court reform advocate side often say that it is more -- it is easier to abuse

a conservatee than any other person because it doesn't have checks and balances. the real question is why hasn't the court listened to her all of these years and why didn't her court appointed lawyer take any action. in the end, after mr. spears is removed as her conservator, she certainly has the right to file claims for breach of fiduciary duty and for intentional or innocent infliction of harm. i generally do not recommend to people that they go to law enforcement because the standards of evidence are so much more difficult. and to be honest, law enforcement mostly does not understand and they don't have the tools for dealing with abuse of conservatees. they consider it to be a civil matter. so i don't see it becoming a criminal matter, but i do think that she has excellent claims of

wr breach of fiduciary duty and so forth, not just against jaime spears but to the extent that anyone was -- knew about this abuse. people on the side might be held liable as well. >> lisa, thank you so much. i appreciate you joining us. and you can call those folks back now. tell them i said hi. >> i will. >> all right. thank you. so politics over public health. tennessee stopping all vaccine outreach for kids. not just coronavirus vaccines, all vaccines, ones that have saved lives for decades. stay with us. fore beauty? why not both? visibly diminish wrinkled skin in... crepe corrector lotion... only from gold bond. fine, no one leaves the table until your finished. fine, we'll sleep here. ♪ it's the easiest because it's the cheesiest.

coronavirus is up across 47 states right now. the country averaging nearly 24,000 new cases a day. that's a 75% jump from just last week. largely fueled by young, unvaccinated people. but tennessee is taking the antivaccine insanity to a new level, now ditching all vaccine outreach for children, not just for the coronavirus, all vaccines. vaccines that have been integral to preventing some pretty horrific diseases that have again, thanks to vaccines, been largely eradicated in this country. know your history. joining me now to lay down some historical facts, dr. william,

the director of the national foundation for medical diseases. doctor, thank you for joining us. tennessee's top vaccine official and was fired this week for apparently doing her job and encouraging people to get vaccinated. you are there in nashville. what do the state's actions do to public health? >> they have been a big shock, don, of course. i'm a member of shelly's fan club. he was one of the best immunization program directors of any state in the country. she was straight down the middle of the road, nonpolitical, did things right, enormously diligent and very popular. she had the respect of all the providers out there. so this is a blow to the program. furthermore, the state health department under pressure from state legislatures has pulled in its effort to try to get

children and adolescents vaccinated in preparation for school. there has been a great deficit in vaccinations of infants, children and adolescents because of the covid time when we weren't seeing doctors. we have to make that up now. we want to raise the rates once again. and of course we have covid vaccine also. so these efforts will be very substantially impaired in our state. i'm not sure what's going to happen, but i'm not happy about it. >> yeah. and my apologies for mispronouncing your name. but anyways, modern vaccines have been with us since the 1940s, doctor, as you know. but the concept behind vaccines has been in use since the 1700s when doctors would inoculate people against smallpox. history would read a lot differently if we didn't have

vaccines. am i correct? >> yes. oh, yeah, absolutely. smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, german measles. you name it. i could give you a longer list. it is really quite clear that we have made growing up and being an adult so much safer. you know? there is my simple formula: disease bad, vaccines good. there is no doubt that vaccines have had -- they were one of the great achievements of medicine in public health in the last century and they're poised to have an even larger role in this, the 21st century. >> well, it looks like you are holding up well. i hope that is indeed true. always a pleasure. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> we'll be right back. that delicious scramble was microwaved? get outta here. everybody's a skeptic. wright brothers? more like, yeah right, brothers! get outta here! it's not crazy.

2020 flag draped across her back. the feds say, all five climbed through a capitol window around 2:25 p.m., that day. surveillance footage near the capitol visitor center shows all five moving through the building. and it turns out, it was a person connected to their family who turned them in. the criminal complaint details how a relative of christy munn's fiance contacted the fbi three days after the insurrection. providing pictures from her facebook and snapchat accounts. three of the munn children's former-high school and college teachers, also, helped to identify them to the fbi. >> it just felt like the right thing. regardless of my emotions and how i felt and how much i loved my family and my dad. >> reporter: it isn't the first time a family member has turned on participants in the january-6th insurrection. the son of guy talked to fbi agents about his father's involvement. prosecutors say, he is a member of the texas 3%ers group, an extremist-paramilitary group, who allegedly drove to d.c. and
