my dad's lungi. that blue one with the stripes, innit? hutki. you cannot forget this. ke hutki. it is such a beautiful day. you know, sun is shining. it's warm. white people, black people, they probably would have a barbecue in this weather. what do bengali people do? we make hutki on a mattress in our garden. what's the weirdest thing a non—bengali has said to you about being bengali? you don't look bengali. that always annoys me so much. i so hate that. get it all the time. what's the weirdest bengali superstition you've ever heard? when you step over someone, you stunt their growth. you know, people always say that to me. people say that happened to me because, like, i'm five foot seven. i'm five 11, so no—one stepped over me, innit? man sings in bengali. i'm out here today on ladypool road. one thing, if you know ladypool road well, there is always someone parked on the double yellow everywhere. just. . .just double yellow, double yellow, double... and, yeah, no—one gives a crap. so, if you're known i as a bengali creator, you're not really- taken that seriously, if

she saw my dad tanning, getting all in shape. so i think, you know, my mom was just a little concerned too. "oh, maybe i should do a couple things, you know, maybe that will help.” >> she was afraid that she was losing her husband. >> i actually went to the consultations with her to meet this plastic surgeon and she told him all of her concerns, saying, "maybe i'll wait till this summer.” i would be home from medical school for my summer break so i could be there and help with the recovery. and my dad said, "oh, no, alexis, you have spring break coming up in a week. let's do it then.” my dad said we have everything set up, you know, the anesthesiologist is reserved. we need to do it. >> martin had found a plastic surgeon and came in with a list of things that he wanted michele to have that he said would help her. michele ended up being prescribed percocet, lortab, valium, ambien, phenergan. these were all central nervous system depressants. and they were never meant to be taken at the same time. >> and the surgeon agreed? >> he kn

but my dad would tell us cuz joe.e he was on the porch and he just think about the old days and my dad was playing in the front. he said he would just him holla could tell. his mind went back to the ship and say he would jump he holler so loud and he would jump so he told them he said they told the oldest people told him that he was thinking about the concealer when he came over. so there's like one of the sad part. what is it meant for the descendants of the clotilda that the ship has been located? well, i guess you everyone has their own personal opinion of how they feel. um, i just remember when we first thought we found the ship and it wasn't. and i saw that everyone was you know, like oh well. is not the ship, you know, let's carry on but you know, i was thinking it was not so much about the ship. it's about the people who were on the ship. that was my main focus. i mean, i'm glad that they found a ship of my focus is more on the people that were on the ship. what does it mean for you to be a descendant of the cl

he was going to come as my dad. i was like, dad. he was texting me.ith me. he ghosted me for three days. [ laughter ] he was like, no, absolutely not. he was so nervous. >> sean: why? nervous? >> yeah. then he was like, we've got to practice, we've got to -- we've got to -- we've got to practice. [ laughter ] where do you want to practice? we've got to go out, queens boulevard, just practice. [ laughter ] i'm not going to go out on the street, two adults, playing baseball, throwing catch together. >> sean: that would have been a good photo. >> yeah, no. and it was like this existential thing of, like, when is ever a father and daughter forced to play catch and have it land? and he was so nervous. on that day. he put on sunglasses and a hat. and i was like, dad, you're not going to be able to see the ball. [ laughter ] he was like, shut up, don't talk to me right now, i am so nervous, i'm so nervous. and it didn't even look like my dad. looked like some weird random guy i was throwing the ball to. dad, come on, are you going to catch the ball? and he w

and maybe doubting whether or not how much gratitude and when my dad was in texas she noticed my dadse button. and she looked at my dad and said are you japanese americans? and said take your coat off of me fix your button and she told my dad she was so grateful because of what the 442 did the closest relative was in the last battalion. that my dad got really choked up about that. and to recognize and the gratitude what other people did. >> now between texas and those 442 i don't remember what year it was but the governor eventually proclaimed all 442 battalion men and honorary citizens of texas it is a big deal i think. >> so we have those stories but also in the book we talk about issues of racism and i went to frame it in the last five or five and half years a lot was going on in our country. i remember when we first started talking. we had things going on that aligned with the racism during world war ii for example the muslim travel ban where a whole segment of people were denied access to the united states primarily because of the religion and while this was because of natural s

the accent that cudjoe had was the same accent my dad had. we like, oh, is this my daddy, is he cudjoe? my daddy got it from cudjoe. >> do you think you have a little of his accent? >> i say, look, it's a birdie in the scottie, like that. tell my dad, comey downy off the treey. when cudjoe died, johnnie went on and took the navy. when he went to the navy, he was a good shoot on top of the ship. so he was in world war ii. so oncoming missiles had hit his ship, and they didn't find johnnie until he was in the bottom of the ship. so they found johnnie in the bottom of the ship hurt, so when they brought him back, there's him back, that's how he got a discharge from the navy. so he came back to magazine point, and that's when he married wilma may. he started the fifth generation. the fifth generation of johnnie lewis and all these is the fifth generation of him. this is my oldest sister. this is me. what happened is, this school -- she went to the school when it was a high school. this school right here. the high school, she ended up being this fi

my dad on certain nights was open late. on this particular night my mother and i decided we would go get some barbecue. we were sitting in the barbecue restaurant and my mother says well, where would you like to go in the army? where would you like to be? i said i would love to be in hawaii. she said hawaii they have army in hawaii? i said 25th infantry division is in hawaii. anyway we came home and will make got home my mother handsome this fat envelope from the department of the army. and there are my orders. unbeknownst to me she already seen them. but i'm going down the orders, everything seen and military orders before is a lot of gobbledygook. a gift to the bottom and it says a delay in route assignment 25th infantry division san francisco 96225. upon arrival in vietnam report to such and such and such and such. that's how the whole thing started. finished my schooling right before christmas of 1966 and left for vietnam. arrived after numerous stops on a c1 41 the interesting thing about that as i went out to san franc

my dad is telling this and it's one getting choked up, my dad got really choked up about that. he recognized how much with the 442 did in the gratitude other people did and that really meant a lot to him. >> there is a bond now between texas and the 442 guys. in fact i don't remember what year it was but governor conley eventually proclaimed all of the 442 and the 100th infantry battalion, we sate soldiers, honorary of texas. to be a texan is a big deal i think, that was really cool. >> we had both of the stories you also had in the book issues of racism i want to go back to some ways to frame it in terms of when you were writing this book in the last five and a half years a lot was going on in our country. i remember when we first started talking about this story we had things going on very much rhymed with some of the racism we saw during world war ii. for example the muslim travel ban bears a whole segment of people were being denied access to the united states, primarily because of their religion. they are saying this is because of national security which was very similar i

and my dad managed a small department store. my mother, housewife her entire, her married life with my dad, although she did manage grocery stores before, that's what she and my dad met. my dad while a student at northwestern university, he and one of his fraternity brothers i don't a chinese take-out restaurant, and, where my dad used to say that he used to deliver chop suey to john dillinger some on the southside of chicago. but anyway, my dad used to go into the grocery store where my mother was the manager and buy supplies for the chinese restaurant. i have two nephews by my older sister, nephew ricky was 52 and his brother jeff who was an all-american swimmer at the university of georgia. he is now the assistant swimming coach at the university of florida and possibly will be the head swimming coach, because the swimming coach there was his swimming coach at the university of georgia and he's getting ready to retire. my sister donna has come her oldest is stacy, and next one is todd. todd is one who lives in new orleans and

my dad had grown up on a ranch in newcastle wyoming. that is in the black hills. my mom was from rawlins wyoming. it is on iad. chances are if he ever took a trip you went by rawlins. just such a special place to us. those were my vacations. i did not -- i do not think, i don't think i saw the ocean until i was 15 years old. we went to the ranch are my other grandma's place there. i just loved it. i was pretty self-sufficient. all of that good stuff. my grandfather was a county call missionary. he knew vice president dick cheney from way back when. when cheney was running for congress in wyoming. i was kind of involved, aware of politics and public service early on. especially energy issues early on. he always believed since i was a young girl that america needed to be more energy independent. >> very forward thinking. i had a chance to have that experience. my dad went to a college, the first of his family to go to college. university of wyoming. and then we moved to denver. >> before we get too far, i want to talk to you about your school. did moving to denver se

i still love my dad today. >> you still love him today? >> because i love the man that i knew. hat's the man i love. just press firmly and it continuously eliminates odors in the air and on soft surfaces. for 45 days. open talenti and raise the jar. to gelato made from scratch. raise the jar to all five layers. raise the jar to the best gelato... you've ever tasted. talenti. raise the jar. when you skip the rinse with finish quantum, you save up to 20 gallons of water each time. you've ever tasted. finish quantum with activblu technology has the power to remove the toughest stains without pre-rinsing for dishes so clean they shine. join finish and skip the rinse to save our water. don't settle. start your day with secret. secret stops odor- causing sweat 3x more. and the provitamin b5 formula is gentle on skin. with secret, outlast anything. no sweat. secret. all strength. no sweat.

so i knew my dad was gone that night, because i wouldn't have ever crawled into bed with my mom if myed with the alibi in mind. >> he had to find ways to get opportunities. one of those ways was these overnights. he was a volunteer for the boy scouts when his son was involved and had a good space of time where he could go murder maureen. >> he will leave that boy scout event. he will drive to wichita. he cuts through even the backyard of his own residence and goes to maureen hedge's house. cuts the phone line, breaks into her house. >> he kills her at her home and then transports her body over to the church. >> what he has done is he has prepared his church, the church that he was a member of -- >> he was the congregational president, and he wanted to take pictures of her posed. >> dressed her in underwear he had stolen from other houses, took polaroid photos of her and then dumped her body in a ditch. >> he drives right back to the boy scout event and picks up right where he left off. back to being dennis rader, the husband, the father. >> somehow i knew at 6 that her body had been f

my dad served in world war ii, landed in normandy. hang on.fought through france and germany in the battle of the bulge, he was wounded in a mortar attack with a scar across his back with a purple mark and sent back to combat again and he was part of it in a prison camp. spoke of that smell and eventually that but the pictures are horrific and for this commissioner to compare this decision to that was ludicrous. >> it is very disturbing. appeal of that was what? >> the court of appeals ruled in favor of the colorado civil rights commission and part of it would be to change my policies. quarterly for two years on that and very small shop, various relatives and their 80s say i won't be reeducated. for them to do that that is what the court of appeals came back and said, to the colorado supreme court. >> so like the cultural revolution in china, the reeducation camp. the government, you talked about this before, was there ever a moment through this where you were wavering and wondering if you come in, or take the cake. >> i close the cake shop do

amazing and very personal to be born biracial but then when my parents met each other and had me my dads home state of virginia could not have buried my mother because a lot had not passed yet. and then i learned so much about apartheid and that experience to the individual both on the black side of the equation in the white side and i want to do the same thing growing up biracial in asia and i wanted to teach the it was like what to grow up in southeast asia post vietnam but also why i believe america is worth and worth fighting for because my six-year-old daughter abigail asked me that question you don't have legs she wants me to teacher how to read her - - how to ride her bike but i cannot run alongside of her. so she says why can't somebody else's mommy or daddy go to iraq to lose their legs so i want to be very upfront to show america is worth it and it began with me growing up as an american in southeast asia to understand what a privilege it was that i could leave those countries when i wanted and a lot of other american asian children could not because they were abandoned but i

as my dad was telling me this, my dad got really choked up about that. he recognized how much what the 442 did and the gratitude people had and i really meant a lot to him. >> there is a bond now between texas and the 442 guys. in fact, i don't remember what year what year was but governor connally eventually proclaimed all of the 442 and 100th infantry battalion men, we see soldiers, honorary citizens of texans, which for texans is a big deal i think. so that was really cool. >> we have those kind of story strength but also in the book you talk about issues of racism. i want to go back in some ways to frame it in terms of writing this book. the last five, five and half years a lot was going on in our country. i remember when we first started talking about this story. they were saying this was because of national security which was similar to the rationale of japanese-americans say it's a military necessity that would round them up and put them behind barbed wires. later on when i saw the detention and separation of families at our southern border and lo

my dad, i grew up on a ranch in wyoming in then black hills, opposite side of the states, my mom was symbolic on the i 80, if you've ever taken a road trip across the country, chances are you probably went through there. wyoming was a special place for us those were my vacations i didn't go on anything, i don't think -- i don't think i saw the ocean until i was 16 years old. we went to the ranch for my other grandma's place enrollment and i just loved it. i think back on that, i was the oldest grandchild so that had some on the. we were pretty self-sufficient on the ranch, there was a big garden, we raised cattle, some pics, pork and chicken, all that good stuff. my grandfather was a county thcommissioner and he knew by president cheney when cheney was running for congress in wyoming, i was involved in, or aware of politics and public service early on, especially energy issues, my grandfather was very, he always believed since i was a young prophet america needed to be more energy independent. >> very forward thinking. >> i had a chance to have that experience but my dad went to coll

and my parents met each other and fell in love and had me my dad and home state of virginia could not have married my mother because it had not yet passed in virginia. and i learned so much about apartheid to the individual on the black side of the equation and the white side. i wanted to do the same thing for the experience of growing up biracial in asia. i wanted to teach the reader about what it was like to grow up in southeast asia post- vietnam but also why i still believe america is worth it. america is worth fighting for. my sexual daughter abigail asked me the question. mommy you don't have legs. she wants me to teach her to ride her bike. but i can't run alongside of her to push the bike. so she said why couldn't somebody else's mommy or daddy go to iraq and lose their legs? why you? i wanted to show her america is worth it. democracy is worth it. it began me growing up has an american in southeast asia. to understand what a privilege it was that i was an american. but i can leave the war-torn country when i wanted to because i had the passport and another children could not

>> well, i was only to so my mom and dad, big deal. e adventurous in that way, i think one of my nieces empathizing the book was don't be afraid to move and i moved quite a bit i'm sure you probably have. my husband was in the air force so i think we are in 41st mailing address so moving was part of it. >> let's go back to your childhood. your parents is still the last reading, a love of reading at an early age, right? >> yes, my mom used to go crazy because when we would go to the library, you are only allowed to check out seven books at a time. i get the books and i would read three of them on the way home in the car. >> long distance to the library. you remember your favorite childhood book? >> laura ingalls wilder books, i liked nancy drew series, i loved all things beverly cleary and judy blume and i loved reading of all kinds but i think one of the things that was most important for where i am today, something i encourage people to try to do if they can, when i was in third grade, my dad started a tradition with me where i had to

my dad grew up on a ranch in the black hills on the opposite side of the state. her is in rollins on interstate 80. chances are if you ever took a road trip you after rollins, and it was such a special place for us. those were my vacations. so i didn't go on anything fancy growing up. i don't think i saw the ocean until i was 16 years old. we went to the rancher to my grandmother's place in new orleans and i just love that. and i think that is the oldest grandchild that had some cachet, we were pretty self-sufficient on the ranch. there was a big garden. we raised cattle, some pigs, horses and chickens and all that good stuff and my grandfather was a county commissioner ordered when did cheney was running for congress in wyoming. so i was involved in and aware of politics and public service early on. especially energy issues, my grandfather was very much into that. he always believed that america needed to be energy independent. so i have a chance to have that experience, my dad went to college, the first of his family to go to college, the university of wyoming.

and my dad became a newspaperman and interviewed everyone from ronald reagan to mike ditka to ginger rogers. and that was because of entrepreneurship in america. so that's my roots. i go on to represent mci in the private sector, and i got a firsthand look at when monopolies were trying to push them back so they couldn't get into the market. we were on the side of consumers. i end up in the senate, and i'm on the judiciary committee and end up heading up, along with mike lee, the antitrust subcommittee. and i then saw the horror of what happens when you've got out-of-hand monopolies. really, as i start in the book lling the story of my own, really, failure in trying to get these drug companies to do a better job of how they were charging people with infants that had a heart defect. and when one company cornered the market and bought both drugs, that was it. treatment went from $85 a treatment to $1,600 a treatment. and it's just wrong. and if i can't get this done, i have to ask for help from the people and work across the aisle and try to do something to rejuvenate this movement agai

again like you say, my dad served in world war ii and landed on normandy. it gets me every time. he thought through germany and he was wounded in a mortar attack and had a giant scar across his back and a purple heart. they sent him back into combat again and from there he ended up being part of a group that liberated the prison camp,on concentration camp. he spoke of the horrors of that still. but if you look it up, the pictures are horrific and for the commissioner to compare this decision to that was just ludicrous. >> i've been, and it's very disturbing. so, tell us what the outcome of that appeal was. >> the court of appeals ruled 3-nothing in favor of the colorado civil rights commission meeting that i lost and the commission going against me would stand, part of which would mean that i would need to retrain my staff and have to change my policy and create cakes that go against my faith and retrain my staff and report to the commission quarterly for two years. it was funny because it is a very small shop and my wife and i, our daughter works for me and various relatives inc

my dad and his home state of virginia could not of married my mother because in virginia, the past sothey know, and then i learned so much about the experiences to the individual folks in the black side of the equation and it the white side. and i wanted to do the same thing for the experience of growing up biracial in asia. and i wanted to teach the reader a little bit about what it was like to grow up in southeast asia post- vietnam but also say that america is worth fighting for. and my six -year-old daughter abigail asked me that question and she saidue mommy don't have legs. she was we did he to write a bike. [laughter] but i can't run along the side of her. so she's like wild what could somebody else's mommy or daddy could've done this and loss of like why why did it have to be you. and this democracy is worth it is what i told her and began growing up is in america in southeastt asia read and understanding what a privilege it was. that i could leave because i had that american passport and other children could not because they abandoned by the fathers. i had not been abandoned

when he read the boo -- when we read the book it had the same accent my dad had. ddy got it from cudjoe. >> do you think you have a little bit of his accent? >> my daddy talked like, he would say treaty, look at the birdie in the skyty. he would say tell me, comy down off the treety, i told you not to eat the peachy. when he, cudjoe died, johnny went into the navy. he was a shooter on top of the ship. he was in world war ii. oncoming missiles hit his ship. and they didn't find johnny until he was in the bottom of the ship. so they found johnny in the bottom of the ship, hurt. when they brought him back, that's how he got a discharge from the navy. he came back to magazine point. that's when he married willie mae and he started the fifth generation of johnny lewis and all these is the fifth generation of him. this is my toldest sister. -- oldest sister. this is me. what happens -- this school right here, it was a high school. when he did that at the high school, she ended up being a -- the fifth generation was the head cheerleader. we take it all the way down to the

so it's definitely brought up new feelings and new emotions about the war and about losing my dad. up with only memories of his grandfather. and looking back now, why? why is that, you know. so, yeah, but i do feel a lot of gold star family members -- i can't speak for everyone. i can't speak for the whole community, but are having similar feelings right now. >> you just said a son. am i allowed to ask the name? >> yeah, we're naming him after my dad, so it will be john. yeah. >> kelly, we appreciate you coming on. we appreciate your search for answers, which in and of itself i think is important. the work you've done is really important. >> thank you. i appreciate it. i appreciate you. >> thank you very much. >>> all right. obviously brianna, a lot of breaking news today on a lot of different fronts. >> yes. and i'm very excited, i will say, for kelly when little john comes into the world here in about a month. cnn's coverage continues right now. >>> good morning, everyone. i'm poppy harlow. and >> and i'm jim sciutto. the biden administration said they are close to recommending m

when my parents met each other and fell in love and had me, my dad in his home state of virginia could not have married my mother in virginia. and i learned about apartheid and experience of apartheid through the individual on the black side of the equation and the white side of the equation from trevor noah's book and i wanted to do the same thing for the experience of growing up biracial in asian and i wanted to teach the reading what it was like to grow up in asian post-vietnam. and why i believe that america is worth it, worth fighting for. and i got to write the book because my six-year-old daughter abigail asked me that question. mommy, you don't have legs, she wanted to learn to ride the bike and i can't run alongside her and push her bike. so she, you know, she was like why couldn't somebody else's mom or dad go to iraq and lose their legs and i wanted to write the book to so that america is worth it and the democracy a worth it and began with me growing up in southeast asia, the privilege that i was able to leave because i had the american passport and a lot of amerasian child
