i think it shows people in this country and generations ahead of us that the law really doesn't favor the rich and the powerful, but it's applied equally to people. >> special counsel jack smith isn't done investigating the former president. he's also looking into mr. trump's involvement in efforts to block the certification of the 2020 election. the prosecutor in fulton county, georgia, is also probing the former president's actions around the election broke any laws, which means he could face even more charges. i'll see you next time on "the whole story." whole story." thanks for watching. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com -[crowd] gun control! [crowd] usa! how dare you conontinue to look away? this whole system is wrong! [man] we have to take to the streets. i want us to take action. it was the tweet heard 'round the world. social media has tremendously altered the landscape.

it's just indicative of what kind of world we're living in. [crowd] the people united-- [woman] we are going to be a force to be reckoned with. and i'm here to protest it. [cecile] one of us can be dismissed, two of us can be ignored. but together, we are a movement, and we are unstoppable. welcome to the revolution. [music]

[scott] a ferocious recession is now tightening its grip on the nation. because of, i think, some bad decisions that were made, we have the worst economy since the great depression. [will] well, at the start of the 2010s, there was just a lot of economic displacement. and people were feelin' it from all sides. it's a war out there. i mean, these people are losing homes every single day. the debate over using billions in taxpayer dollars to help homeowners in trouble spilled out onto live television today. in february of 2009, rick santelli is on cnbc. he's a commentator there, and gets really, really angry about the financial crisis and about bailouts. [trish] rick santelli whipped up a frenzy when he spoke out against government money bailing out homeowners who are in over their heads. the government is promoting bad behavior! and he thinks that it's time to fight back,

and he, he calls this a, you know, a new tea party. -you wanna...? -[rick] we're thinkin' of having a chicago tea party in july. it's not surprising that the tea party was kinda the first reactive movement that you saw come out of the crash. [julian] early in barack obama's presidency, it was an outburst of healthcare, financial regulation in economic stimulus. it's a major expansion of the federal government. this administration's gonna bankrupt our country. and i'm here to protest it. [dean] they came to vent their outrage over what they see as runaway government spending, and the tax hikes they suspect are right around the corner. you had this fiscally conservative, libertarian coalition that were angry about obamacare. they wanted government out of our lives. and the tea party movement became the vessel for those sentiments. look, you're not paying attention to what the average and majority of the people want. the radical left has got control of the process.

this was a social movement on the right of a kind we've never really seen before among kind of an older, predominantly white, predominantly working class group in this country. [jeremy] but for all that the tea party was supposed to be about fiscal conservatism and small government, a lot of republican voters didn't actually care about any of that. [dean] for all their anger at what they see as ever-expanding government, 62% of them think medicare and social security are worthwhile programs. [jeremy] as long as government subsidies and programs went to help republican voters, they were fine with it. they didn't like that they thought it was going to people who didn't deserve it. you're takin' money off us to give everybody health insurance, when that's not a right that's given by the federal government. as john ruskin said, there ain't no free lunch. [dr. west] economically, they are catching hell. but their angle of vision was not to confront the most powerful, but the scapegoat, the most vulnerable.

we need to get the, get the illegal aliens out of our country and back into their country so we're not havin' to support them. [jeremy] it was the first time where you really see the anti-immigrant sentiment that is bubbling up and is being fed by conservative media, particularly fox news. another awful crime allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant. [brian] illegal aliens are smuggling heroin into the united states. our taxpayers are subsidizing nearly half a million illegal aliens. [crowd chanting] [bill] something happened where the populism went from being i would say a useful corrective to the elites, a useful channel for popular anxieties and complaints, and it turned sort of bitter, it turned ugly. i don't see that, this dying down at all, until barack obama's out of the white house. there's also a racist element to this. studies showed the election of a black president triggered racial animus, and that runs through the tea party as well. summer 2011, you could just feel the tension in the country.

on the one hand, you had the tea party just revving up steam, and then outta nowhere, you have the birth of a completely different kind of movement. and this time, it was coming from the left. [crowd] show me what democracy looks like! [michelle] well, the handful of protestors that started this demonstration call it occupy wall street. [crowd] end the war! tax the rich! the tea party and occupy wall street draw from a lot of the same anger. wall street is responsible for the economic crisis, and they're asking people like me to pay for it. the occupiers were calling into question capitalism. they wanted to break up the banks, they wanted to jail the bank executives that had given us a global financial recession. your company is now bankrupt, our economy is in a state of crisis, but you get to keep 480 million dollars. is this fair? [crowd] the whole world is watching! the whole world is watching! [douglas] they were not particularly happy with the terms of the bailout. part of what's driven us to this point is inequality,

increasing inequality, the rich getting richer. now the rich have brought us to this perilous place. and we're bailing them out. occupy wall street was actually launched in 2011 by a site called adbusters. it calls for people to meet at zuccotti park, which is outside wall street in new york city. [crowd] occupy wall street! [bigad] protestors call themselves the 99%. frustrated over economic inequality and what they describe as corporate greed amid the country's richest 1%. we are trying to provide shelter for the people who live here. [nicole] there was this real sense of community, and this real sense of democracy in action. [crowd] show me what democracy looks like! this is what democracy looks like! the people united will never be defeated! we are the 99%! but there was this sense, especially from the political press and from politicians, that these are amateurs. these are people who don't know what they're doing. [will] a couple weeks into the protest,

they were havin' a march across the brooklyn bridge. the nypd put a massive police force on the bridge. [crowd] the whole world is watching! the whole world is watching! [will] they used the classic technique of kettling to surround these protestors and give them no way to get off the bridge. and they arrested 800 people for protesting that day. [crowd] shame! shame! shame! shame! that kinda conflict absolutely brings the attention. and in that way, it helped further the occupy goal of putting economic inequity, the 99% versus the 1%, into the public discourse. and that became mainstream. it lives on in democratic party politics in a big way on the bernie sanders and elizabeth warren wing of the party. this campaign is sending a message to the billionaire class. whereas the tea party lays the groundwork for trumpism, the maga movement, trump's election. [fareed] occupy wall street and the tea party are, in some ways, two sides of the same coin.

the coin is a kind of populist frustration with the way elites run america and the idea that maybe there's a way to change all this. [music]

[jeff] hundreds were there, saying there's been no justice for trayvon martin. [crowd] justice for trayvon! [jeff] what was called the million hoodie march. martin was wearing a hoodie the night george zimmerman shot and killed him. i think that trayvon martin brought a lot of young people into a battle that, that older people

were used to fighting. they recognized this could be them. [erica] protestors are calling for the arrest of the shooter, neighborhood watch volunteer george zimmerman. [louis] zimmerman shot martin on february 26th and claimed it was self-defense. [crowd] no justice, no peace! [yohuru] this was the story of a young person out at 7:30 at night, being killed by a self-proclaimed neighborhood watch captain. [kyra] trayvon was carrying skittles and a can of tea. zimmerman had a semi-automatic handgun. soon there was a confrontation, and zimmerman says he feared for his life. african americans were looking at this and saying, "this is, this is insane." -[crowd] trayvon! -[person] justice! -[crowd] justice! -[person] when do we want it?! -[crowd] now! -[yohuru] people talk about the civil rights movement continuing, and that's a little problematic, because movements do end. but there's often a moment where there's a reset, and trayvon martin was one of those moments. a jury in sanford, florida has found george zimmerman not guilty in the shooting death of trayvon martin. we saw the trial of zimmerman, we saw nothing come out of it. and 2012 was this, like, awakening moment.

in my generation, it was the first time that we had seen a system fail so spectacularly in our lifetime. this whole system wants you to feel like trayvon was a criminal! [crowd] that's right! this whole system is wrong! and then we see coming out of california this hashtag of black lives matter. [sandy] black lives matter was started kind of spontaneously by alicia garza, who was an activist in oakland, who was just really pissed off at the acquittal of george zimmerman. i remember waking up in the middle of the night, like, sobbing. so, i started writing on facebook. and then patrisse put the hashtag there. "black lives matter". i think people were waiting for something like this. black lives matter, unfortunately, is something that we could've talked about a hundred years ago. and our communities needed it, and black folks who have allies in the world needed this, too.

social media is gonna be a very powerful tool, organizing tool in this moment. that's gonna turn something like a local killing, of the killing of trayvon martin, into a national phenomenon. don't touch me. [anne] caught on tape, the arrest of 43-year-old eric garner by new york city police. today, his death was ruled a homicide. [eric] i can't breathe. i can't breathe. eric garner is held in this chokehold which had been banned by the nypd because it was taking the lives of people, and that's captured on cell phone. there is growing outrage tonight after an unarmed african american teenager was shot and killed by police in the st. louis suburb of ferguson, missouri. and then there's the killing of michael brown. [wolf] the unarmed teenager was shot multiple times by a police officer in broad daylight. [jason] a crowd starts gathering as brown's body lies in the street. [john] witnesses said brown's body lay in the street for hours.

[sara] people lost their minds. they could not abide by seeing somebody's child lying dead in the street like that and being treated... like an animal. [crowd] we want justice! the feeling was one of fury. but what exacerbated it was the response by the police departments. i remember turning on the tv, and seeing an armored personnel carrier with a police officer with an automatic weapon trained on a crowd of nonviolent demonstrators. and i knew at that moment all hell was about to break loose. [sirens] [tear gas popping] [vladimir] chaos once again filled the streets of ferguson late sunday night. [ron] molotov cocktails were thrown, there were shootings, looting, vandalism, and other acts of violence. i had no alternative but to elevate the level of our response.

-what do we want?! -[crowd] justice! -when we want it?! -[crowd] now! [yohuru] but months after michael brown is killed, those protestors are still out there, and ferguson becomes kinda the, the turning point in this movement. -hands up! -[crowd] don't shoot! -[man] hands up! -[crowd] don't shoot! there is something magical and special and... interesting that happened in 2014 that did change the country and the world's conversation. it was like people in their homes came outside and said, "enough." -hands up! -[crowd] don't shoot! -[woman] hands up! -[crowd] don't shoot! [alicia] and that wasn't about hashtags, that was about people taking to the streets and refusing to go home. the magic and the power of this movement, and really this decade, is that protest even starts to look different. [callan] all eyes were on 49ers' quarterback colin kaepernick, flanked by two of his teammates here. you can see he took a knee during the national anthem. [jemele] in 2016, colin kaepernick, star quarterback for san francisco 49ers,

decides that he is going to wage a protest, a personal protest, to bring awareness to racial injustice, structural inequality, police brutality. there's people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. cops are getting paid leave for killing people. this really provokes this violent outrage, particularly on the right, among people who are saying it's disrespectful not to stand for the national anthem, and the nfl needs to do something to punish colin kaepernick. get that son of a bitch off the field right now. out, he's fired. when we look at the rise of the alt-right movement, it is a response to efforts by african americans to ensure that they are going to be able to enjoy the same rights and same freedoms that other americans enjoy. and that, by definition, is viewed as a threat. [yohuru] it was a response to black lives matter that tried to make the case that all lives matter.

and it was disingenuous. it wasn't all lives that were suffering these brutal killings by police officers. [alicia] you know, this all lives matter thing... what i... feel when i see things like that is... "oh, wow." we were making a lot of people really angry. and this is how i know that this movement is successful. [crowd] black lives matter! [alicia] that it is not finished. [crowd] black lives matter! -[man] black lives matter! -[crowd] black lives matter! starting a new chapter can be the most thrilling thing in the world. there's an abundance of reasons to get started. how far we take an idea is a question of willpower. because progress... is a matter of character.

[music] they call themselves the alt-right national policy institute. over the weekend, they gathered in washington to celebrate donald trump's victory. hail trump, hail our people, hail victory. [kyra] a mostly online movement, it's difficult to define the alt-right. but it's no doubt fueled by white nationalists. it's a euphemism for anti-semites, racists, and bigots. [kyra] the trump campaign denied any involvement in the alt-right movement. most americans in august of 2016 had never heard of the alt-right. but hillary clinton gives this speech

and explains who this group is and what it believes. this is not republicanism as we have known it. these are racist ideas, race-baiting ideas, anti-muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-women. [crowd] usa, usa! [nicole] the alt-right is absolutely a social movement. and they believed that there is something weak about an american commitment to broadly based civil rights, and ideas like equality and diversity. america was, until this past generation, a white country designed for ourselves. [van] it's not the alt-right, it's the white supremacist, white nationalist right. it's the dirty right. [sara] the far right has always been there... lurking in the background, planning and plotting. but as social media becomes more and more popular in the early 2010s, these extremist groups see a way to really spread their ideology to people that they hadn't previously been able to reach. go to the political board,

and you'll find racism, anti-semitism, islamophobia, misogyny, it's all there. you then see the emergence, the growing popularity of places like reddit and 4chan and 8chan. [vladimir] in a statement, network provider cloudflare said 8chan has, quote... [ali] reddit has come under fire for allowing extremism, racism, conspiracy theories, and disinformation to thrive, and it says it is working to make the site safer. [jo] but it's a near impossible task, like twitter, youtube, and facebook, keeping a massive, unwieldy, deeply influential social network under control. [nicole] the first time that the right wing extremist threat really gets driven home for most americans is the 2015 massacre in charleston, south carolina. [renée] nine black people, including a pastor at a bible study, murdered by a self-identified white supremacist

because he wanted to start a race war. [nicole] he releases a manifesto that makes it very clear that he has these strong ties with white power groups, with segregationists and apartheid regimes. but at the time, it was seen as the one-off of an extremist, it's not necessarily seen as attached to a broader movement. and then donald trump became president. and for many people on the far right, they saw this as a sign that they weren't fringe anymore. that they were now the mainstream of the republican party. we are determined to take our country back. we're gonna fulfill the promises of donald trump. that's what we believed in, that's why we voted for donald trump. because he said he's going to take our country back. and that's what we gotta do. trump welcomes them with open arms. retweets them, adopts their rhetoric, and begins to legitimate these views. [crowd chanting] [julian] in august of 2017,

there's a protest organized by many groups that are involved with white supremacist politics. and the alleged reason to be there is to defend confederate monuments. [paula] controversial right wing blogger jason kessler planned what he called a pro-white rally here to protest charlottesville's effort to remove a statue of confederate general robert e. lee from a city park. [woman] go home! go home! so the day unfolds, and it becomes very ugly. [angry shouting] [reena] the violence included an apparent attack with a car on a crowd of peaceful protestors. at least one person was killed. one of the white nationalists uses his car to plow through a group of anti-racist protestors, and kills heather heyer. [trump] you had some very bad people in that group.

but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. [sandy] when donald trump defended the charlottesville protest by saying there were very good people on both sides... i think that was the, the key that opened the door to the chaos we've seen since. [crowd] white lives matter! we will not be replaced! [sheera] january 6th was a coalescing moment for a lot of these groups because they could all come together under the banner of being called there by donald trump. so, whether they were there as maga, because they believed in trump as the president, or whether they were there as the proud boys or the oath keepers, because they were a militia that wants to take down the federal government, they were under the same umbrella. [crowd] [bleep] antifa! [bleep] antifa! you have these insurrectionists showing up at the capitol, and what symbols do they bring with them? the confederate flag and a noose. these are symbols of white supremacy, these are symbols of racial terror. one can't divorce those symbols from the history that they represent.

you know, most people think of white nationalism and white supremacists and nazis as fringe phenomena from the distant past. the idea that you could have a movement today on a mass scale that embraces those views and puts them forward, for a lot of people at the beginning of this decade, it would've been hard to believe. but that's what happened. because of social media, our darker angels have come out.

[music] [norah] we are approaching this moment, this incredible moment when donald trump will take the oath of office. [van] you know, it was funny being in d.c. in the days around the trump inauguration. the day before the inauguration, out of union station pour all of these make america great again hats and t-shirts, and it looked like the place was being invaded by the new owners of the town. and then the next day, a whole different mass comes pouring out. and it's the women's march. [kris] they came from across the country, pouring off busses, clogging the roads, and cramming the subway. [poppy] the images are stunning. women and men in cities across the globe

marching with a message for the president. [crowd] donald trump has got to go, hey, hey! [alyssa] i think the women's march was such a coming together of the sisterhood in a way that i don't think we'd ever really seen. [rita] the event was called in part because of concern among women about the possible erosion of rights they've spent generations working to achieve. [leslie] there was energy, there was activism. there was passion. but how do you move from being a moment to an effective movement? what are the concrete changes that we want to enact? one of hollywood's biggest names, producer and studio executive harvey weinstein, is taking a leave of absence from his company. in 2017, stories began to be published in the new york times and in the new yorker about harvey weinstein and his decades of sexual assault and misconduct. [elaine] the sexual harassment allegations against harvey weinstein stretch back 30 years,

with some as recent as 2015, according to the new york times. every time i turned on the news, there were horror stories about harvey weinstein and the brave women who blew the whistle. [anderson] more than two dozen women have now leveled allegations against harvey weinstein. we're hearing from even more women accusing harvey weinstein of sexual assault. more than 90 women have come forward and accused harvey weinstein of sexual assault, harassment, and rape. and i just started crying, because i knew of... the things that i had to overcome as far as trauma. so, i just put that very simple tweet, "if you have been sexually harassed or assaulted, reply with 'me, too'." and i went to bed, i shut off the phone and went to bed. and seven hours later, i woke up for work. well, she woke up to tens of thousands of responses and the realization she had kickstarted the, quote, "me too movement". [renée] me too began to trend on social media as a hashtag. but the term "me too" had been around about a decade. it was started by tarana burke, who's an activist and, and a survivor.

[tarana] changing the narrative around sexual violence was just so difficult. it had been ten years. i was like, "i been tryin' to make this work for ten years." and my friend reaches out and says, "hey! i'm seein' me too everywhere, girl, congratulations." and i was like, "whoa, whoa, whoa. i want this to be done right. i don't want this viral thing." you know? and she's like, "i don't think you understand what's happening. like, this ship has sailed." [crowd] me, too! -[woman] me, too! -[crowd] me, too! [norah] an untold number of women posted "me, too", and revealed their deeply intimate experiences of abuse. their stories flooded social media, and painted a picture of just how many people endure sexual abuse and harassment every day. there were 12 million responses to the me too hashtag in 24 hours. we'd never seen anything like that in twitter history, in social media history. [mireya] a flood of accusations against hollywood heavy hitters acted as a catalyst for more people to come forward.

[bianna] batali says he's stepping away from it all following the allegations. [gayle] lauer was let go one week after cbs news fired charlie rose. celebrities make people pay attention. but it was the 12 million everyday people who kept tweeting and tweeting and facebooking and instagramming and posting and telling those hard truths who built this movement. pandora's box is opened, and pandora is pissed. there was a kind of solidarity in that moment. a sense of being seen that had real political implications. i will nominate judge brett kavanaugh to the united states supreme court. [chris] trump nominates brett kavanaugh, and word comes out that decades before, when she was 15 years old, a, a woman, then a young girl, named christine blasey ford was at a party with a young teenage brett kavanaugh,

and that he assaulted her. and in the context of me too, you just could not have asked for a more combustible situation. brett's assault on me drastically altered my life. for a very long time, i was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone these details. the morning was very hopeful. she gave her testimony, and it felt like... like maybe this was a real thing for us. that her courage was really gonna move the movement forward. and then he came out for his testimony, and it was like they were releasing a caged animal. he came out swinging. i did not drink beer to the point of blacking out. and i never sexually assaulted anyone. ultimately, democrats didn't have the votes to hold up brett kavanaugh. and he was confirmed. [crowd] we believe survivors! [tarana] every movement has a setback. you either win or you learn. i knew he was gonna be confirmed.

we cannot attach ourselves to these wins and losses, 'cause the movement would be like a tennis match. it's much more complex than that. [indistinct] [sandy] i think the me too movement was successful at raising the profile of sexual assault and sexual harassment. and i think it helped people to understand the power dynamics that allow this to continue and what kind of recourse we have. there were now enough women in positions of authority to both know what was going on and to do something about it. and i think there was just this new generation of women who just weren't gonna put up with it. i still think we have a lot more work to do, but culturally and in society, men in power know that they can be held accountable at any time, and we're not gonna be quiet anymore. one of us can be dismissed, two of us can be ignored. but together, we are a movement, and we are unstoppable.

[leslie] by the time we've entered the 2010s, the nra had around five million members. active, passionate members who advocated and stood up to defend their second amendment freedoms. it really wasn't until sandy hook and that massacre in 2012 that sparked an equal and opposite grassroots response from the gun control side. shannon watts is the founder of moms demand action for gun sense in america. there really was no grassroots movement or organization that could go toe to toe with the gun lobby. and so, i just went online, and i created a facebook page. and that facebook page turned into moms demand action. i wanted to be part of a badass army of women, because that's who i've seen get things done in this country over and over again. one thing that we did was to use social media to make images of people open carrying inside starbucks go viral.

people couldn't believe that, first of all, this was happening, but also that it was legal. [jeff] over the past couple years, starbucks' policy allowing people to openly carry guns in their stores where it's legal has been celebrated by gun advocates. and it really only took a few months before the ceo of starbucks, howard schultz, came out on television and said, "guns are no longer welcome inside our stores." we are not pro-gun or anti-gun. but we do believe that guns and weapons should not be part of the starbucks experience. so, we knew we were onto something. [ashleigh] target is asking customers to leave your guns at home and do not bring them into our stores. this isn't about undoing the second amendment. this is simply about restoring the responsibilities that should go along with gun rights in the first place. [police officer] we've got shots fired. there were many more attacks each year after sandy hook. [kate] a reported mass shooting at a church in texas. we are following a church shooting in charleston, south carolina.

breaking news out of orlando, police describing a mass casualty shooting overnight at a popular gay nightclub. and then you had, in 2018, the mass shooting at marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida. [jeff] there appears to have been a mass casualty incident at a school in south florida, a shooting. february 14th, 2018, a 19-year-old sporting an ar-15 came into my high school and murdered 17 people. and then we got news vans all over the place. so, they had to deal with me and my friends. i want us to take action. and i don't want this just to be another mass shooting, i want this to be the last mass shooting. so for those who are saying, you know, "thoughts and prayers" and "this is not the time to talk about guns..." this is the time to talk about guns. now, i was a very politically motivated person, and i knew one thing, which was, "look, no matter what happened today, this is on the nra." [crowd] hey, hey, ho, ho! the nra has got to go!

so, my friends and i organized a group that ended up calling ourselves the march for our lives. welcome to the revolution. [cameron] with the goal of creating a nationwide protest to get meaningful gun reforms. what you are witnessing right now is a movement inspired by high schoolers. teenagers decided they wanted change, and they weren't going to leave it up to the adults anymore. i wanna bring in cameron kasky, he's a junior. [cameron] i was an organizer for the town hall. cnn reached out to me because they knew i was running march for our lives. they said, "please prepare a question for senator rubio." senator rubio, can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the nra? i think that my generation was taught to be polite, particularly women and girls.

i'm not sure we've passed that on, and, and i think that's a good thing. do you believe it should be harder to obtain these semi-automatic weapons? [shannon] you should question authority figures. you should call them out when they're being dishonest. and so when i saw cameron call out senator rubio, i thought, "good for you." i support the things that i have stood for and fought for during my time here. more nra money? more nra money? [marco] i, there, that... that is the wrong way to look.. first of all... marco rubio was pretty cowed, i think, by those kids, and i was glad to see it. [crowd chanting] [mark] the youth movement that was fueled by march for our lives certainly got the attention of politicians of all stripes in the sense that things were changing. that the perception of the gun violence issue was changing. it was undeniable. [matt] americans back stricter gun laws by nearly a two to one margin according to a new cbs poll that was conducted after the school shooting at marjory stoneman douglas high in parkland. and that has to be credited to some degree to the movements, with moms demand

and with march for our lives. this is not a mere publicity stunt, a single day in the span of history. this is a movement. this is a movement reliant on the persistence and the passion of its people. [cameron] we were kids trying to be gifted political speakers. the same age that we were tryin' to figure out how to get through calculus. we were kids doin' our best. fight for our lives before it's someone else's job. [cheering] [music] starting a new chapter can be the most thrilling thing in the world. there's an abundance of reasons to get started.

how far we take an idea is a question of willpower. because progress... is a matter of character. introducing new... ...black angus steakburgers, the bourbon bacon jam and jalapeño kick topped with a four-cheese crisp. try all six ultimate steakburger combos served with fries and a drink, starting at $9.

[music] [jamie] it looks like armageddon in malibu. this is downtown atlantic city. [chad] it's the largest tornado ever on the ground. hurricane michael's likely to be the most powerful hurricane... [john] now dealing with the largest wildfire... [jennifer] gusts of wind 130 miles per hour, and that's before the gauge broke. what we saw in the decade with regard to climate was that it just became a real, undeniable thing in the world. like, the weather was getting worse, we were having disasters all the time. the most astounding, to be quite honest, is how quickly the storm surge has taken over this, this town. [douglas] it's very hard, in the face of climatological evidence, to not recognize that something has really changed. [scott] temperatures in the arctic are rising twice as fast as the rest of the world. so, a lot of greenland's ice is running out to sea.

i think there were a number of young people, including me, who had this realization that we actually need a social movement. we need people in the streets, we need people in every sector of society pushing together to take climate action. [anne] some 300,000 people jam the streets of new york's west side to demand action on climate change. [azadeh] organizers call the mass global movement the biggest climate march in history. the fossil fuel industry was denying climate science for decades, and they were trying to build these pipelines in people's backyards. including the keystone xl pipeline. [whit] which would run 17 hundred miles underground from western canada, across six states, down to refineries in the gulf of mexico. [phil] so, the climate movement joined with many of those folks in the pathway of the pipeline, and made a stand. [woman] we are here for one simple reason. to tell president obama to reject the keystone xl pipeline in order to protect our land and water.

[crowd] yes, we will! [phil] eventually we defeated the pipeline, and i think it demonstrated something, which is that climate movement was new and different, right? it wasn't just wealthy environmentalists. it was diverse, it encompassed ranchers and farmers and indigenous communities and black and brown communities that were in the pathway of pipelines. and young people, who really stepped up in a big way. in the environmental movements of the 2010s, young people have really been galvanized and sparked by leaders like greta thunberg. hope is us, the people. hope is when people gather to make change. the fact is she has become a bonafide climate change rock star. with constant media requests, she's reprimanded world leaders, started a movement of hundreds of thousands of students, and has even been nominated for the nobel peace prize. she tapped into this existential passion that igen, gen z, next-stage millennials have, this anger about what's being done to the planet.

they were very deliberately focused on changing hearts, changing our norms and attitudes. and you see that starting to change in the private sector. amazon becomes the first signatory to the climate pledge. carbon neutrality for our entire supply chain. we will be carbon negative by 2030. the private sector's really able to be much more quick acting in response to movements than the government. [diana] more than 1/5th of the world's largest companies have set net zero emissions targets. not just because it's the right thing to do for the environment, but in many cases, because it makes sense for their bottom line. -[man] what do we want?! - [crowd] clean air! -when do we want it?! -[crowd] now! [leslie] the advocates and activists of the 2010s stand on the shoulders of generations who have fought for rights and opportunities that have gone before them. [crowd] what do we want?! equality! when do we want it?! now! [leslie] the marriage equality campaign

was really just the 2010s' tip of a much deeper wave of lgbt activism from the 1960s and '70s. [jan] in a 5-4 decision, the supreme court has affirmed same-sex marriage is the law of the land. [crowd] usa, usa! progress on this journey often comes in small increments. and then sometimes, there are days like this, when that slow, steady effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt. those thunderbolts don't happen just in one day. they happen because of hard work that leads to incremental change over time. [man] ♪ black lives, they matter here ♪ [crowd] ♪ black lives, they matter here ♪ [alicia] it's almost like you're just chipping away at a thing. and sometimes you get bigger chunks than other times. and sometimes, it's that one hit that shatters the entire thing. there are demonstrations going on right now all across the country. so, we literally close out this decade

with the largest mass protest in american history, demanding justice for the individual victims of police violence. [brian] see the chants behind me, very, very passionate. they do not want people to forget the names of george floyd, of people like eric garner. freddie gray. not only were these the largest demonstrations, in terms of civil rights, these were the most multiracial. [jemele] to see more collective investment, i think it made all of us feel a little bit more hopeful than i think we had in a long time. [nicole] what actually unites everything from occupy wall street and black lives matter to the women's movement and me too is that vision of a different, better world, and the belief, at least for a moment, that you can bring that world into being. and that's a pretty powerful thing that happened in the 2010s. hi, there!

now, when you bring your gun to a restaurant, do calmly inform the other patrons that you are there just to eat, and not to shoot anyone. and when you bring your gun to a restaurant, don't be black. 'cause... even if you tell 'em, even if you tell 'em you're not gonna shoot, they're probably not gonna believe you. [crowd laughter] [music] [music] [cnn original series theme] i am officially running for president of the united states. he doesn't care what people think. [donald] when you're a star, you can do anything. when they go low, you go high. cnn can report that hillary clinton has called donald trump to concede the race. let's begin this morning with president trump's executive order temporarily banning immigration from seven countries.
