he did not have something useful to contribute. he just did not want anyone thinking he was making important national security decisions based on what was popular. tara: got it. mr. bolten: we have the popularity ratings to prove it. mr. lew: there might be an exception or two to the rule. in my experience the chief of staff has a partner who is really the political person. in josh's case it was karl rove and in my case it was david. he and i talked about everything because we were friends and i valued his judgment. he sometimes helped me understand how to explain what i wanted to explain better than i could explain it myself. he had a notion that if something might be becoming an existential threat to the enterprise. he never told me what to do but said i will tell you if something is an existential threat to the enterprise in my view. it never happened. i don't think that most of these considerations brought it to that level. if it rises to that level and you have to partner -- and you have a partner and they don't warn you, they

those things are, are rationalizations they're using. that are expressions of much, much deeper fears, concerns they might have about the role of government government overreach, about public health officials, authorities. and the fear goes to the idea of putting a non materials into your bodies. so even if you address those concerns, you explain how the vaccine was developed and how safe it is. sometimes it can be really hard to get through to people. the professor fisher would you agree with that is a, is a valid point that to be made. i certainly agree, and i think the important thing to recognize is that fears about vaccination and hesitancy existed long before the cover in 1900 pandemic. and so a lot of the fields we're seeing now build on those earlier the beliefs, many based in this information that has been recycled again with the cobra, 1900 vaccines. so making that concern about the, the novelty of the facts, seen the speed with which they were developed already built on a foundation of concern and, and conflicting beliefs and

effexor, thank you for talking to us. an american epidemiologist is warning of a viral blizzard in the u.s. in the coming weeks. do you see it that way? >> yes, it is more like a flash flood that we are expecting. it is likely to be a further increase in the number of cases, but hopefully, based on other countries with this they lose -- this will be short-lived, and the since it will not last for months and months. the question is whether it will end where it will overwhelm the health system, but my estimate is it will be reasonably diverse in terms of where and how it overwhelms the health system. anchor: we talk endlessly and understandably about the problems associated with the pandemic, the spread of the virus, the dangers, but what about a solution, what can be done to stop covid from ruining another year? >> that is a good question. this is not decemr 2020. we have tools at our disposal around the wld. we have highly effective vaccines, especially against severe disse. we have a pretty substantial supply of high-qua

laura ingle joins us from times square. laura. >> those who want to ring in the new year here in times square have to follow some pretty strict rules if they want to be a part of the big countdown as you mentioned it was no crowds last year. this year we're finally seeing some numbers in this area. let's show you what is happening. this will be a scaled back celebration tonight with only 15,000 screened revelers allowed to take part in this historic event that number is down from the usual 58,000 head count that we have seen in years' past. in addition for being checked for weapons, new year's partiers will have to show proof of full vaccination, a photo i.d. and wear a mask to make it through that screening process. >> i have come here for the new year's eve. i'm so excited. >> i'm not worried at all. i'm vaccinated, right? i'm vaccinated so i'm ready to go. >> and while the warmer temperatures and high rates of vaccinated people have made the mood pretty merry here, there is the uncomfortable news that new york city has j

for so many of us. and i got to spend every day with her and she really was everything you would imagine her to be. she just had the biggest heart and was so generous, so kind, so funny. and we shared an enormous love for animals which bonded us in a whole other area. >> well here is a clip for our viewers of the two of you together in "hot in cleveland." let's watch. >> this is everything except quitting alcohol. >> so how far in are you? >> oh, eight hours, maybe 20, my watch might be upside down. >> what was it like working with her on that show? >> right, i mean you get betty to break it was a really good day. an extra good day. she was the best audience as well as being hilariously funny herself. and when you were doing that little piece on her before i came on, she did have a crush on robert redford, like an enormous one that she never met and i was at a fundraiser for return to freedom rescue group and bob was there and i told him about betty and i said she has such a crush on you, she didn't wan

are giving us -- doing the studies to help us understands these tests. my understanding of the data that we have right now is that, in fact, this test does work, and it is a useful tool. it detects the omicron variant. the variant is altered in a way that the test still really has confined that virus. what it can't do is tell you with 100% certainty that, when you get a negative test, you're not actually infectious. so the way i think about it is that, if you have a positive test, if you see that line come up positive, even if it's a faint line, you have covid, you should act like you have covid, you should not second guess this test. if you don't have that positive line, it might mean that you're negative, but it might mean this test is not as good as being with high certainty that you are negative for covid, and that's where we have to -- that's where we have to be a little more cautious. but what i worry about is that the message should not be these tests are not useful. they're absolutely useful if people act on a positive test and avoid contact with

let us prove our worth. let us do this. >> great, thank you. >> family into this? >> yeah, yeah. >> a lot of my family, both sides, my mother's and my father's side, fought in world war ii. we had one point monoford marine and we have a photo of him in full gear and that shows, the caption under it from him is going from iwojima to question mark. most of the family who served, served in the u.s. army. because that's where you did have a chance to fight and served well. not a single one joined the navy, regardless of dory miller or anyone else. there have been articles written about both sides of my family that happens to be a relatively well-known black family. but nobody had any intention of being a servant. they wanted to be a part of the war effort and fight. >> great, thank you. so i will just ask a question for both of you. before we open it up for q&a. there was both of you had mentioned some things that i would argue, and rob you would use the phrase as period of forgetting, or this misremembering, or willfully not remembering certain aspects of world war ii

of allah get, get us. we got for la martha people here have experienced needing help from other countries. we can never forget was our situation was like when we were hit by the soon army, we thought although it took days for the government to confirm it would allow the refugees to disembark in indonesia, the you and hcr has thanked them, saying they'd saved lives in a statement for you and hcr said it was grateful to indonesia for once again proving its humanitarian spirit. it also praised indonesian authorities for it said, setting an example by once again, assisting ro hanger, refugees in distress at sea. human rights groups have also welcomed indonesia decision that said the process should be improved, so rescues can be faster. so i bring by improving this residential regulation on your browser. no, ever. i think there won't be confusion anymore in the future, and there will, there should be a quicker decision to help people in dangers. every denisia regards itself as only a transit country where refug

that is a useful thing. as much as we end the originalist camp or textualist cap tend to deride legislate of history, that is different from saying that you can use historical documents like that to show meaning. not so intent which is the distinction, but to show meaning. and it's an example. what came to mind for me was 1896, a dissent talking about the expert clause. in much of the sources cited were articles about what were imports and exports. more modernly and maybe definitions have a different definition of imports. it's between states, not only between countries. the justice, his dealing with this overtime and he plays with things and looks at things. i think it's all in the inquiry, what was the meeting as understood at the time. >> if the meaning is fixed but open-ended and forward-looking and you sharply distinguish meaning from expected application, to use a jargon term in this area, how do you stop the slippery slope down to the equivalent of when you're deciding and a commitment case? -- the ei

was there something in particular that the japanese learned about us or thought about us that made them think we would give up and sue for peace after a period of time? >> that's a really good question. the germans had a variety of it. material factors and almost always denigrates or racial purity or tradition to go toe to toe with us. i think the notion to democracy is a democracy was played out liberal democracy was so 19th century. it was the powers who refuse to say die and refuse to let things like rational planning and intelligence and material get in the way a drive for global power. those were the powers who would say inherit the earth. we woends up going to war with. i think those kinds of thoughts are shared widely. the variety looking at the hungarians as a weak and played out power. racism assigning specific characteristics to a group of people by virtue of their race. >> let me add to that. if you really go back and take away, looking at the wreckage of tokyo and berlin in 1945, and you look at what happened in hostilities say when italy rolled into ethiopia in 1935 to the

k to stop it's latches. britain is in no position to be giving lessons to us. britain should stop using us is a punch bag in the domestic politics. relations came to a stand off as british p and johnson, and his views on twitter. now that 3 french president micron into a hissy fit, just shortly the method. i'm surprised when things are not done seriously. we don't communicate between leaders via tweets or publish letter. so we're not whistleblowers, come on and somebody knows all of this came on the back of a bumpy summer for france. 80 just found out that it's dean of the century with australia to build a fleet of submarines had been torpedoed in favor of a new one with the u. s. canada. and oh yes, the u. k. oddly recipe for success. but what the issues between the u. k in france really boils down to might have more to do with the opinion the to leaders half of each other. i think it was really a political thing and the of the, the side effect sort of to, to stuff to abs fuel to the fight between france and great britain that was just an added plus each of them a min mccolan boys, joh

thanks to those of you who are here with us. we hope to have an invigorating conversation and i would like to start by saying this is a bold and brave book to be publishing at this juncture in the sense that conventional wisdom at least in washington where i am is focused on the idea that we are deep globalizing xenophobia has taken hold of the national conversation with the pandemic, we are looking more and more and your book you go indirectly the opposite way saying we need to prepare ourselves for mass migration and perhaps i think the overarching idea in the book seems to me as you say, it's become geography is destiny, that's not the case you say. could you talk about that and why you are arguing this direction now? >> thank you. i am delighted to do this for them the first or second the first wave so is really exciting in terms of teasing out this, globalization, migration, the pandemic, u.s.lion policy, migrn as part off globalization, not all of it. the mood in washington but doesn't necessarily correspond to reality and

so the governor has to do all in his power to get us as many tests as soon as possible and give us the time that we need to make good decisions to keep schools open and safe. >> so do you have a sense for how many of your fellow teachers are vaccinated? is it the majority of them? is it mandated in massachusetts. what is the vaccination levels like among the teachers and staff. >> the teachers association doesn't collect that data but i could tell you last february, when it was announced that educators in massachusetts would be in line for the vaccine, we were rolling up our sleeves, demanding that we get those shots. and that turned into a struggle. we didn't get fully vaccinated until the end of april. i know the national education association which is our national affiliate has done polling and 86% of any members including our state affiliates are vaccinated according to their polls. but we also know that vaccinated people can be asymptomatic and carry and transmit the virus. >> all right. well there is a lot of uncertainty not just in massachusetts but across the country as kids ar

this brings us to three key facts. we have to make snap the most powerful and effective tool we have in our arsenal more available to students by limiting the work requirement. recent changes have expanded eligibility to more than 3 million students. unfortunately representatives have introduced an act which would make this eligibility permanent. this is to advocate for this act that would -- resources to students. second is to learn from state legislatures. four state fs something originally developed on the platform i'm on today which is that 22 campuses to find -- fund programs. they need the funding to do this work. as you mentioned this is a systemic issue. it is only a band-aid on the greater crisis, which is a severely underfunded financial aid system. the issue of hunger is a personal one. i grew up benefiting from free school meals. when my parents emigrated to the united states after the iranian revolution which left because it was a liver safe it was programs that allow them to go up and chase the american d

he's going to join us with some reflections on her, betty. thanks for taking time with us. she is obviously most famous for her work on "the golden girls," but she did so much more. talk about some of her other more famous roles. >> betty white's legacy is so much bigger then "the golden girls." just a few days ago, by coincidence, i happen to watch a movie from about a decade ago, sandra bullock in "the proposal," and there was betty white. it seems cosmically unfair that she did make it to her 130 or 2022. between movies and tv, she was an inspirational person. she had this quality about her that she just seemed really cool, no matter what her age or the venue, whether "saturday night live" or being plugged into internet culture. she changed with the times. >> anita: she was really timeless, howie. that is, she changed with the times exactly like you said. we just watched that obituary and you really saw so many phases of her career from her early stages to hosting "saturday night live." as you know, there are many people that can be so cool into their 90s, right? >> i kn

i used to vote democrat. i started hearing things in 2008 about the democrats and i checked out books. i went all the way back to 1619 when the first slave ships landed. i found out who the democrats really work. i changed my party to republican. there were many black people that owned slaves, especially in louisiana. a lot of them have been slaves themselves. i know you are ready to cut me off. there are a lot of them that know the truth. when i went to school, i had a teacher told us if you want to hide something from a black person, put it in a book. you know what? i've got many nephews and nieces in their 50's and 60's. they don't care who the president is. they don't care. black people don't vote because they're not interested. i have never been stopped from voting. host: let me get another voice and. barbara is in new york. caller: the collusion between government and media and the degradation of washington journal are my top stories. it's been sad to see brian lamb become a prostitute who services the

should they be used? >> guest: they should be used when there -- but they rarely are. donald trump is not a fascist. he's not competent enough to be a fascist fascism. fascism had a doctrine, a worldview. it had a biological theory of the world that there is strife is inherent in racists. we don't have that. we have authoritarian temptations. we have autocratic pretensions. fascism we have not had. >> host: i noticed in your writings you make that argument. i think is probably correct although we should be worried but you come back to this belief that any authoritarian impulses in america would be tempered by the court. what makes you so confident about that? >> guest: because they behave well in the past. even when they make mistakes they correct them. caromont suite. the american people are not too squeamish to face the difficult aspect i spent three weeks on an island across puget sound from seattle. i'm driving around the root and there's little sign that said japanese exclusion memorial. it turns out that after roosevelt, resident franklin roosevelt's signed the o

of interest, so stepped aside and continued to advise us, advise us and support us. and i've known of the congressman since 1970, and the congressman, one thing i always -- i admire so many things about him. the congressman had ran for the south carolina house of representatives in 1970. no african american had been elected to the south carolina house of representatives since reconstruction. congressman jim ran and was narrowly defeated. in fact we all went to bed that night knowing that jim clyburn would be breaking that barrier and be serving in the house of representatives, and then as the votes were counted late and ballot boxes came in from wherever, the next morning we found that jim had not been elected. and congressman, your grace in accepting what so many people would have railed, something was done wrong or whatever, the way that you, sir, handled that great disappointment to you and to us who were so fervent in our desire to have you elected, is something that i'll never forget. do you have memories about that, congressman, anything you would like to share

they build on it and use it at the weapon and lead us over the head with it. january 6 hasn't benefited us and the republicans. it benefited the democrats. it started off as a riot. then it was an insurrection. the next was a deadly attack. how was it deadly? there were five people killed. nobody had any guns on the trump side. there was no insurrection. one guy died of a stroke. one guy died of a heart attack. another guy was trampled. and ashli babbitt was murdered. another police officer, we were lied to about the fact that he was attacked and hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. he died of a unrelated medical issue days later. the only people who died in the attack were protesters who were killed or dropped dead. up and this was a resurrection of the parallel in history. in germany 1930 three, that was their capital and was believed later the germans themselves set the fire and blamed it on the communists. there was a young communist kid they put on trial and they executed him and interviews that the client down on all of the remaining media that was

thank you for joining us. i have to play this for our viewers because the first time i saw it, i was just stunned. this -- walk us through what we're seeing. >> yeah, this is us exiting the costco when i pulled up, it was a normal day, kind of just looked like a fire on the mountain in the background and that's not too abnormal for colorado. and then we were shopping for my sick wife, getting her some soup and the staff told us to evacuate and one of the staff mentioned the store might be on fire and i would like to shout out to the staff to being calm and getting everybody out of there. when everybody walked out the door, they were calm and then started running like an antelope running all over the place. it was pretty scary. it was kind of look a life beyond a dream, it was just apocalyptic feeling. >> that's exactly what it looks like. this actually looks like it is a movie. not reality. is that fire you see at the top there? >> i think it is the sun, i'm guessing, but i'm not totally sure. it was -- once w

police had us move out of that particularly damaged louisville neighborhood, that's why i'm joining us on the phone. at 1600 acres the marshall fire is actually a relatively small fire, but it is absolutely devastating. we are not in a sparsely-populated region, remember, we are less than an hour outside of denver. we are in suburbia. so when flames come through here, specifically wind-powered flames, they are wiping out entire subdivisions, shopping complexes, obliterated, as you mentioned, roughly nearly 600 homes incinerated in boulder county here. the state's most destructive fire in terms of homes damaged ever recorded. and why we're seeing such an incredible pace that you talked about moving, burning through the length of a football field within seconds, it's the result of a dangerous combination between those whipping winds, gusts topping 100 miles per hour, and then parched ground. this area is in an extreme drought, just 1.6 inches of rain since august. this community dealing with a lot right now, yasmin. >> so, emilie, talk me through a couple things, a lot of folks are worri

we cannot do secrecy tell us what we cannot now. and there was a role for government in this in not necessarily making these things public. >> and that formulation comes from the man who is my best friend, pat moynihan, and pat made the point that secrets are government property, and governments tend to horde them and become acquisitive about property, property and secrets. and secrets make us necessarily more unnecessarily ignorant. and this has to do, i believe, with grand jury testimony from 60 or 70 years ago, for pete's sake. what is the point of keeping this secret? >> and so -- eric holder discloses documents and ended saying, when is a cold case that should be that's not part of our national memory too cold to learn more about? the correct answer is never. it seems you're arguing we should not shy away from this and do you think that conservatives in particular should take more of an interest in this complex racial history we have, rather than perhaps fighting about crt? because it seems to me that this is a more wealth form

when we get used to relationships we can get used to treating someone without deep respect. please, the second one was thank you. what is the final? gratitude. it is hard to keep a sense of gratitude when you are so used to something day in and day out in marriage, family life. i was changing a baby's diaper eight times today, hard to say thank you. gratitude. the third one, the third one is sorry. what is sorry? that means something very simple. sorry means that i am humble enough to recognize that i am not perfect and i need to ask for forgiveness. number one, please, respect, number 2, thank you, gratitude, number 3, i'm sorry, which is humility. those are pretty good things even without asking my wife i can say pope francis has got it down to a t. ashley: words to live by. great to catch up with you. happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you. let me tell you one thing. paris is alive. paris is booming. no matter what you see on television right now, all the lockdowns, it is hard to get reservation, things are booming. ashley: that is good to hear, nice positive not

with us now dr. marc siegel. dr. marc i guess what we're saying even if you are vaccinated and boosted the cdc is saying do not get on a cruise ship. what's the reasoning, the rationale for this. >> good morning, trace. i think the issue is that on a cruise ship it is like a petri dish. no matter what virus we talk about. we have to start talking about viruses rather than fear. even if it were norovirus, it spreads around the cruise ship. covid-19 with the omicron variant is so transmissible. if there were cases on the cruise ship and you couldn't be sure and we're seeing so many breakthrough cases among the vaccinated. we'll talk about that. over 580,000 new cases in the united states over the past 24 hours and even in portugal which has over a 90% vaccination rate they now have 28,000 new cases over 24 hours. cases are breaking through like lightening even if you are vaccinated. they the end to be much milder the silver lining. if you'll see spread you won't want to be on the cruise. >> trace: the cruise line indus

i used to make it safe. last year, if i were accept, were canceled across the country and then a and enabling zealand restrictions buttons think this week to let people enjoy the celebrations despite on the chromos scare. with however, over in germany has become something of a challenge for people waiting to see in the new year tonight. because the government has banned the sale of fireworks for a 2nd year in a row. now to stop large gatherings and prevent the spread of cove. it, however, it has seen many germans hop across the board to poland to buy their festive supplies with more on the story, his peter oliver, the run, the birth date, the location for the traditional german new year's celebration. it's also home to an annual fireworks extravaganza. the it's about the only place you'll see them lighting up the night. sky is the country rings in 2022 as the german government to fund their private sale. as part of the last round of covert measures brought in at the start of december. it's hard to knock the

thank you for joining us. as you know, one of the key political stories of the past year was the shellacking democrats took in rural areas, in swing districts, virginia, new jersey in particular over the last year. your home state of ohio has swung pretty hard toward republicans in recent years as has your home district mahoning county. what do democrats need to do to win back some of the disaffected voters? >> we have sherrod brown here who won in '18, won a couple of supreme court races in the last couple of years. we focus on the pocketbook issues, rebuilding the middle class, rebuilding the united states and beating china, that's the competition we have, john. the relationship with china, the investments they're making, they're rebuild, putting 7% to 9% of their gdp in infrastructure. we have a big fight here to do 1% of our gdp in infrastructure rebuilding communities. if we stay focused on tax cuts for working families, infrastructure, bread and butter issues, bringing the supply chain back, we can win h

a group of people leaving us a beginning through the party rather than the popular interest in charge and is a republic but not a democracy and as much as we owe the ordinary soldiers in the continental soldier undergarment, we should go back to them and capacity for irony and paradox, and this is why the sometimes healthiest in its discontent. when we end the war, we are incapable of dealing with the native market issues effectively and the slavery issue effectively because the government is a confederation of sovereign states and it is nobleness and during the united states is a plural noun, not a single noun and that leads us to tragedy. >> okay, we been in conversation, one of the countries leading historians the revolutionary and more in colonial work. and about his note book, cause". joseph ellis. >> thank you pretty. >> in your >>s and you're watching booktv's coverage of this year's national book festival. that was joseph ellis talking about his newest book, "the cause: the american revolution and its discontents." and now from vermont, professor ellis joins us live to take yo

they build on it and use it at the weapon and lead us over the head with it. january 6 hasn't benefited us and the republicans. it benefited the democrats. it started off as a riot. then it was an insurrection. the next was a deadly attack. how was it deadly? there were five people killed. nobody had any guns on the trump side. there was no insurrection. one guy died of a stroke. one guy died of a heart attack. another guy was trampled. and ashli babbitt was murdered. another police officer, we were lied to about the fact that he was attacked and hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. he died of a unrelated medical issue days later. the only people who died in the attack were protesters who were killed or dropped dead. up and this was a resurrection of the parallel in history. in germany 1930 three, that was their capital and was believed later the germans themselves set the fire and blamed it on the communists. there was a young communist kid they put on trial and they executed him and interviews that the client down on all of the remaining media that was

tom harris joins us. we are obviously going to see a change this year, a little bit closer to normal, though not fully there. what can people expect to see in times square when the ball is going to drop? >> good morning, kaitlan. good morning, john. thanks for having me. people can expect to see fully vaccinated masked revelers in times square in less filled viewing areas. and it's going to be a great experience for those who are in times square. it is also going to be a great experience for those who can watch the events at home on your show with anderson and andy or on our website at tsq.org. so we are expecting real festive day and night >> there is no question people across the country, even in different time zones watch the ball drop in times square. it is nationally and internationally symbolic. but the calculation being made, this won't turn into what dr. jonathan reiner just told us he is concerned about, which is a superspreader event. why are you feeling confident that that prediction won't come
