back with me, don lemon to play the game. don lemon, who won the week?vin trial who talked about how george floyd had the life really squeeze it of him. and i think he did it with -- even though he's a medical doctor, he brought us -- they did it in humane terms and we got to see the humanity of george floyd through et. >> i was going to bring out the versus because they came out. but i'm going to say it's don lemon. you won the week this week, my friend. you talked about you and tim starting a family. so, not only do you win by starting a family. there you are. that's the engagement party. i'll be your babysitter. who doesn't love that? thank you, don lemon. chris starts now. >>> tonight on "all in." >> do you stand by today that the death of mr. floyd was, as you would call it, homicide? >> yes, i would still classify it as a homicide today. >> the man who declared george floyd's death a homicide finally takes the stand. tonight, as the prosecution winds down, why the medical examiner's testimony could turn this ca.

what is with don lemon's take here. >> notice that don lemon, like everyone else spoke out on this, didn't who were in line can't get water. they can get water. they simply can't get approached by outside activists trying to persuade votes. that is a pretty standard voting law. the move so popular for election integrity from democrats has gone silent recently. they're not interested in that. the tech companies censoring anything out came out to do with elections or christmas were getting sense toward. there is none of that coming anymore. none of that from the tech companies. republicans should take a lesson from this. they passed a pretty milquetoast, pretty weak election integrity law in georgia. they're called jim crow segregationists. maybe they should introduce real voter integrity to see what happens? elizabeth: cnn's don lemon is is built on a law saying there is fraud in georgia. we dug into trump here and reporting what the facts on that but it is not, it is not built on that. it is built on you know, what the law says it is. he didn't report it. watch the white house press secret

let me bring in don lemon right now. don, you've got some thoughts on what we can anticipate. >> i do have some thoughts, wolf, and just so you know i've been in communicate with ben crump, the family attorney, and i asked him. i said is there -- what can i say right now? are you optimistic? are you cautious? who is with you? what's the mood? where are you? and he said philonise and i are in the courthouse. he said the family has faith that derek chauvin will be found criminally liable for killing george floyd, and, again, that's from ben crump, the family attorney, and as has been reported earlier, philonise george, the brother of george floyd will be in the courtroom when the verdict is ruled and he's there now with the family attorney and the family attorney, i would imagine together, and they are cautiously optimistic considering the time that it took the jury to deliberate, wolf, and come up with a verdict that it's going to be at least in their favor, not exactly sure how they are going to rule on all the charges bu

. >>> this is "cnn tonight," i am don lemon. i spoke the truth and everything. i love this country, love this country. but, what the hell is wrong with america? thinks is this really the land of the free? you tell me. are you free from fear of gun violence tonight? went for a walk the other day and i kept thinking about it, if i was in a mall, how do i escape this if someone comes in? what's my escape route? why would we have to think about that? america? are you free to drive your car without ending up dead before the day is through. let me give you some numbers if you think i am exaggerating here. there has been 147 mass shootings in this country this year. that's counting last night. another eight people dead in fedex facility in indianapolis by a 19-years-old ex-employee whose mother warned authorities that she feared who attempted suicide by cops. >> we heard three more shots and then my buddy levi saw someone running out of the building and more shots went off. >> 45 mass shootings in america in just the past month. we can't even fit them all on this map.

earlier george floyd's brother and his family's attorney spoke with cnn's don lemon about their satisfactionh the verdict and the relief that they felt. >> oh, man, it was -- it was just so much of a relief, don. just constant nights of me just being up constantly getting three and four hours of sleep. but today i won't get that time to sleep because i'm going to stay up and celebrate because to me, this is a day of celebration. i'm happy, man. i'm really happy. >> i want to take you back to the courtroom if you will allow me because this verdict, as you know, was historic. what was it like for you to be there? >> oh, it was one of the times that i actually panicked. i was walking back and forth, pacing back and forth, man. attorney crump was like, hey, just do whatever you need to do to be comfortable. and i did. and when i had to go to that courtroom, i sat in there 30 minutes before the jurors came out and the judge came out. but the entire time i prayed, for that entire 30 minutes. >> what was that 30 minutes like? >> oh, man, it was like an eternity. but all i could know was like in my

here is don lemon. >> what's up with that? >> you know, i was talking to park and, cannon, and i wanted to give her chance to speak about what's happening. i screwed up the time. i apologize. >> no, it's okay. i had her last week, and eight years or eight and a half years, whatever it is, you and i, we talked about this, considered it and said, there is no way the d.a. is going to do that, they are going it drop the case. >> you never know. she talks about john lewis, may he rest in peace, and brother lewis would have called this good trouble. but you know what? he can say it with a smile on his face. he paid the price of pain and prosecution. it's a scary moment. yes, the d.a. probably drops it, it would be a huge injustice. >> let's look at the optics. >> it's bad optics. >> the woman is incoming on the door. >> i know. >> and the guys inside -- >> they arrested her. >> signing a bill -- >> but they still arrested her. >> beneath the picture of a slave plantation. >> and they arrested her. i'm with you. i am saying they arre

sara, it's don lemon. what's going on? >> hey, don. i will jump in front of the camera, real quick.-- the most heart-wrenching. we saw many, many, many mothers who lost children to police violence. that was earlier in the day. and for hours, it's been a peaceful protest, until about-five minutes ago. five minutes ago, there was someone that threw a bottle of water. and someone that threw something else over the fence, and breached the second. there is a couple of different places that you can get closer to the officers. and so, once people breach that, sort of, second barrier, then, pretty much, all hell broke loose. i will let you get a look. there are officers, who have come up to the fence. you'll see, every time you see a large bit of smoke -- what looks like smoke coming over the fence, it's actually pepper spray. and then, you will hear flash bangs. and that happened just a few moments ago, where two flash bangs. one, that went over our head. and one, that was right in front of the gate there, that is sort of cordoning off the protestors and the police. separating them. but, i

i am don lemon. so let's talk about this. go in -- in depth to what chris and i were just talking about moments ago. by the way, we have lot to cover. we've got -- we've got matt gaetz. we have got baseball, which i wanted to talk to chris about. we will talk about that. we got republicans and the whole jedi-mind trick, about now joe biden is the big liar, instead of trump. it is madness what's going on in the world, right now. you thought it would settle down, didn't you? nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. so, let's talk about the chauvin trial. >>> slowly, and methodically, the prosecution team in the trial of ex-minneapolis police officer, derek chauvin, poking holes in his main line of defense. chauvin is on trial for the murder and manslaughter, in the death of george floyd, last-memorial day. kneeling on floyd's neck for 9 minutes 29 seconds. we should just say 9 and a half minutes. despite floyd saying, repeatedly, that he couldn't breathe. eventually, losing consciousness. chauvin's defense attorney, telling the jury, and

let's discuss this and more with my friend and colleague, cnn's don lemon.s also the author of the brand new book, you see the cover "this is the fire: what i say to my friends about racism," a "new york times" number one best seller, as it should be. don, thanks for joining us. you've been covering the killing of yet another young black man, 20 years old, at the hands of police. you talked about how this is so personal for you and it is exhausting. share some perspective for our viewers about the pain so many americans are feeling right now. >> well, wolf, this is the reason that i wrote the book that you so kindly mentioned in introducing me, is because of the pain people are feeling. especially people of color. all people are. all americans, i believe, are feeling this pain. let me just talk about people of color first. we see ourselves in these young men. we see a nephew, a cousin, an uve uncle, even a brother. we see people we know. people who become demonized after they are the victims of such events. we all know there are no perfect victims and there

efforts here with don lemon putting back these are bigger than talking points. they proved it. >> i appreciate that. >> neil: no, no, i mean that very much. sorry to jump on you there. a couple of things we're following as well, maybe we could just bring the heat down. ken star with a great book right now says maybe the answer is right in front of us. if the government stops getting in the way after this. not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

bob costas special to don lemon about this earlier. >> so many aspects to it.e, until relatively recently, baseball was not as apt as a sport to weigh in on social issues as perhaps the nba, the wnba, the nfl. but that all changed. i mean, last year was, obviously, a time of reckoning and it continues. there is a players aplliance in baseball made up primarily of african-american players but also widely supported by white players around major league baseball. so there are still some people are going to say stick to sports, stick to sports. as we have discussed before, don, there is a long history of athletes using their platform to register a point of view and to be, in many cases, effective and, in some cases, even profound. the question is going to be going forward on a case-by-case basis, is this always the right sort of approach? there may be some people who are in agreement overall, have some differences with some aspect, or differences with the approach. stacey abrams has said she has mixed feelings about it. you can understand how the atlanta braves feel
