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

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

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

patel, thank you for joining us. i want to reiterate for everybody out there, we're seeing this giant spike in cases, you probably know a handful of people at least who are sick right now. employers are having a very hard time keeping staffs in place. that being said, i don't want to lose sight of the hospitalization rate and the death rate, which actually dropped yesterday. >> yes, katy, i think you're bringing up an important point. we could reach very easily, and i think in reality we probably have a million cases per day in the united states alone because we're undercounting. we're not testing everyone and people are getting at-home tests. having said that, you're pointing out that we are not at the same hospitalization rates we were a year ago or even six months ago. and that's because of vaccination. we have less degree of hospitalizations, meaning we may have a lot more numbers of hospitalizations and hospitals right now feel like we're being held together by duct tape. that's because of the staffing issues. t

i'm using it again and again. throughout his life, churchill had craved the world stage, and here he was once again drawn to the fire of controversy that his words were sure to bring. this was the moment he'd waited for, to voice his ominous warning about the threat of communism in europe. churchill had always possessed an uncanny premonition of history and its implications. his rich or torery inspired a broad range of reactions. his moment in fulton would be no different everyone anticipated controversy. churchill did not disappoint. >> from stepping in the baltic to the adriatic, "t" an iron curtain has descended across the continent. behind that line, all the capitals of the ancient states of central and eastern europe. warsaw, berlin, parag, vienna, budapest, belgrade, bucharest, all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in rupture. i must call the soviets and all our the subjects in one form or another, not only to soviet influence, but to a very high and, in some cases, increasing measure o

we need to thank the good lord for bringing us true -- us through. some of us had covid, some lost friends, loved ones, family to covid. we experienced a lot of arguments about many things, and yet we are here. so my message comes from my grandfather, reverend martin luther king sr., who said thank god for what we have left. so we pick up with what we have left, and we begin to move forward into 2022. can you imagine? personally, i've got another book i'm working on, some new music, and at the center for the american dream at america first policy institute building bridges, mending relationships, bringing people together for the american dream. my uncle, martin luther king jr., reverend dr. martin luther king jr. said that he had a dream, and it's rooted in the american dream. we need to take a look at the american dream that knows how to repent, to forgive, to be kind and to thank god for what we have left. jackie: so much good sentiment there, so much people can learn from. you know, we complained a lot about all the things that happened this year.

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

this hit close to home for so many of us, literally in some cases for those of us that lived nearby, but also in terms of this being a fire that wasn't a wildfire in the forest, it was a suburban, urban fire. the costco we shop at, the target we buy our kids' clothes at, all damaged. nearly a thousand homes in two very tight knit, beautiful communities our state has are gone. we talk about houses destroyed but each house is not just a house, it is a home. it is a sanctuary of comfort for those that live there. it is memories. we experienced so much loss and yesterday happened over the course of several hours. this is our community. to watch it burn so quickly. unexpectedly. so different, this played out with 105 mile winds. we're going to work hard with families, small businesses to rebuild our treasured communities, homes, sanctuaries for folks, short term impact of housing needs. so far looks like two major hospitals in the area were spared, schools were spared. and we might have our very own new year's miracle, if it holds up there was no loss of life. we know many people had just

in new york, there's winter upon us. if you are foreseen, and new york is, the private sector to have your employees vaccinated are you going to have those workers able to provide heat for your homes and businesses this winter? what about the police force? and first responders? can they ensure our safety? you need to look at the ramifications of this. also the fact that many businesses who have maybe 90 employees might not want to grow to over 100 because they don't want to deal with this chaos. businesses are confused, people are confused, and politicians should lead by it being nimble, because the virus is changing day by day. that is why we are all confused. >> kayleigh: and president biden is the antonym of nimble i would suggest. jimmy, i say this one for you. i was excited to bring this topic to you, i was sitting here, oh, boy, i'm sitting in florida, my home state, it is a freedom loving state run by governor desantis, but guess it was in my backyard? aoc. she is at miami beach wining and dining. national review

[ speaking spanish ] >>> you've been listening to the governor of colorado as well as the county sheriff giving the latest update on the marshall fire, an extraordinary fast-moving fire that the governor referred to as a disaster in fast motion. the last 24 hours have been devastating. at this point in time according to the sheriff and governor there's been no recorded loss of life. something that the governor says if it's proven out to be the case after all the analysis is done it would be their own new year's miracle if there is no loss of life. i want to go straight to cnn's natasha chen who has been covering this story. natasha, the thing that stood out more than anything wh
