kraft is president joe biden, it may seem like we've been here before, and that's because we have and yet trump, and by to say this time is different. that the risk for the us and the world in 2024 are greater than they were in 2020. i'm burned golf and berlin. this is the day. the george has cleared chumps campaigns about him. not american, not you. but he says to them, they have to democracy. he's bad for democracy for another reason. he's incompetent . and when you're in confidence, you're bad for democracy. probably folks on social media, the worst that specially scriber's 2024 cannot print quote, revenge pro power dictatorship is the most important of both of your entire lives. i believe that i believe that's the most import. i used to
6:03 am
say in 2016, and i'd say at the very proudly and truthfully and i meant it. but this is the most important because our country is going to hell. also it coming up across germany and here in berlin, a con boy, a tractor is driven by farmers who blamed the government for a harvest of rate. you can just see what a wrong that people are unhappy with the government. i think that's why more and whole people are joining us. you can see it here. shipping companies are here, trades people out here. oh, hardworking people from the middle class because of our viewers watching on cbs in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin today at the starting line of the race for the white house. next week, voters in iowa will hold. caucus is all across the state meetings, democrats or republicans having their se on you should be. there are these
6:04 am
candidate for president and on about to tell you as a spoiler, donald trump will most likely be the winner among republicans in iowa. and this is happening just a little more than 3 years since truck loyal isn't stored in the us capital, claiming that joe biden had stolen the 2020 presidential election. president bible says the january 6th was a day when america almost lost its democracy. and he says that very threat is as clear and present as ever. i want you to take a listen to what he said today inside a church in south carolina. after the civil war to the faith, you can try to reach, couldn't accept the verdict. a more they had lost. sure they say they embraced what's known as the last cause. wow. now we're living in there of a 2nd was because once again, we're selling this country trying, trying to turn the laws into
6:05 am
a lot. well show their own eyes. the curious of what happened that while bob was wrapped up by lies from a defeated for the president the same moment. that's right, the mob the united states crap isn't just trying to rewrite history january 2nd. they're trying to determine to a race history and your future banning books denying the right to both haven't counted destroying diversity of quality inclusion all across america. harboring hey, replacing whole with anger and resentment dangerous view of america. over more on what is at stake in did, she gives us presidential election. i'm happy to welcome back to the show gloria j brown, marshall. she's a professor of constitutional law and john jay college and new york. she's the author of numerous books on voting rights and race relations in america. professor, it's good to have you back on the program. president biden. i'm sure you were
6:06 am
listening in. he was speaking to this long ark of history today, american democracy after the civil war, american democracy in the polarized present. i mean, do you agree that the states are indeed that great? are we talking about an ex essential moment for american democracy? now? we certainly are and unfortunately the risk to democracy is not just the risk of the united states because of donald trump becomes president. again, he's already decided he's going to re vengeance on anyone who opposes him, especially the so called enemy he already has in the government and anybody who didn't vote for him before, but he's also going to join with other strong men. dictators around the country. i mean, around the world and create havoc around the globe. it will not just wrist within the borders of the united states. there will be, i would say,
6:07 am
perhaps world war 3. if he is allowed to join with other dictators and put in place the national listings that he's already advocated in the united states. i mean, that's quite a statement of bank professor i, i just want to ask you, if you say were 3 what, what, what, what were, or what country would you see america being fighting against as well. you start thinking about, if you go across the globe, you see the philippines and what they elected you see in the eastern europe, the presidents that are elected there. when you begin to see that it didn't take much as you knows your history for one country together with another where there was only, you know, for example, japan, italy, in germany to create world war 2. so if you think about that, you doesn't take a number of other countries, but if they are idea rapidly strategically placed, and they're animosity to democracy is as strong as donald trump's. and she has
6:08 am
looked and reached out to the dictators he studied them. he's actually talked about the fact that he doesn't believe in voting rights to police and his supporters alone. and if he doesn't win, then there's something wrong with the mechanism we call a democracy. i'm fearful that other people know the countries think this is just in america. the problem is not just a problem for the united states. donald trump is a problem for the world. if he gets an office again. what to get back in time for a moment with each of us civil war, which ended in 1865, that has become something of a campaign issue. the republican candidate, nikki haley. she failed to mention that slavery was the reason for the war when she was asked about it a couple of weeks ago. i want you to take a listen to what donald trump had to say about that. at a campaign event in iowa, the civil war was so fascinated a so horrible, so many mistakes were made. see there was something i think could have been negotiated to be honest with you. i think you could have negotiated that. all the
6:09 am
people died so many people died. you know, that was the disaster. so that's donald trump is saying that he would have been able to negotiate a ceasefire. i don't want to talk about that, but i want to ask you, why do you think in the united states? it's still so difficult, particularly for politicians to talk about the civil war and to talk about that part of our past as well. what they could learn from germany and i, what i've learned in my visits there is that you have to look at the past in order to understand the present and go forward. this cons free refusal to look at its past. it refuses to look at the civil war, any of these heinous things because the identity of many white americans in particular is that of someone who's generous and loving and, and believes in god and believes in liberty. and it built the country. and the culture became very powerful and therefore people are jealous of us in other parts
6:10 am
of the world where there is nothing that's spoken about how this country is built, that the land was stolen from the native americans. there's native americans, many of them slaughtered that people were kidnapped by the hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions from africa and brought here by force and under law and penalty of death, forced to work to give their physical and intellectual currency to this country. and that's how the country was built, nor does this country even realize the door of the nurse who believed themselves so liberal that without the african american and soldier during the civil war, the union or north would have lost. so there's so little that we've studied about our own civil war, and yet we put our finger and in the, in the nose of other people and in their civil conflicts. and i think that the identity of most white americans is,
6:11 am
is so in opposite to what history actually shows. not everyone is perfect. we're not asking people to be perfect, but we are asking people to be realistic about their history, about how this country was developed and how has been maintained using racism as well. so. so where are the things i'm moving forward? what is at stake for minorities in united states in this presidential election to i'm so glad you asked that because that clipped you showed of donald of president by and talking about donald trump was the church where black parishioners were slain by white supremacist. and that is something that we don't even talk about. that's why we're talking about the white identity. they believed themselves to be so holy and sure. and yet these types of, of violent actions had been taking place through out american history. when the president bide, was talking about the time after this,
6:12 am
the civil war. there were slaughters by a whites of thousands of black people. no trials took place. there were no people who were actually given sentences for this a little hard to prosecute it. to me just ask you, i mean i, i taking your point there but, but what about president by and he is a white american and he was speaking inside that church that he made the decision to speak there because of what happened that isn't that owning up to your history and, and being honest, looking in the mirror and, you know, admitting what, what does happen to me isn't that what he's doing. and that's where we were going. as a nation we were going in that direction. remember, it's almost as though we didn't have to terms of brock obama as president, and then you have the backlist and that is what america does. it goes forward 2 steps and then back again. and so now we're going back in the struggle is a certain people want to remain in positions of power. and donald trump is
6:13 am
a reckoning for the power of the black boat, which will be suppressed to donald trump becomes president again the militarization of the lease. we still have over a 1000 people, civilians killed by the police every year. give us all of those things are struggling this country to a white blood and put people. so they ask about about the black vote. the polls show that support for president biden has fallen among african americans, and they are the very group of voters who helped push him to the nomination back in 2020 and thinking about south carolina for example. and then finally to victim, why is this support following? why can't he keep the support this chief group as well? african americans are human, like everyone else. and sometimes there are people who make decisions based on this sense of who they think is going away and who is the most vibrant and sometimes job right by does not look that vibrates through some younger people. and also even
6:14 am
those things are not as bad. they haven't really drastically improved for the african american community under jo bag. it will be worse under donald trump, but there needs to be this sense of improvement. the sense of hold for something better. and right now it's not getting better. it just hasn't gotten worse. it's still, there are many young people were wondering where are we going to have the fruit of our labor actually recognized and i think there become very distant chances, but the whole system, not just the job, i would be the whole system of voting. why are they voting with their space being american so many elections and get their not realize the, their american dream at the end of the day? well, yeah. when you, when you say, you know, we, we keep waiting. there is a sense in among americas, but i think among voters of here in europe as well, that the, the generation and power now is, is holding onto power and that you don't have a renewal coming up for the next generation. i mean, is it the blame that on the parties,
6:15 am
the democrats and republicans in the united states? is it the party apparatus that is failing to provide no new blood for their, for the candidates, for the, for the campaigns. and it's, it's so true. where do you see people being nurtured in the next generations? i mean the greatest generation and then the next generation after that. but they believe that they are the only ones who have the answers. they believe that they're the only ones who can give the solutions to whatever the problem may be, and that the rest of us are still in learning mode. and what we learn, well enough will be able to be in position as a power to so many of them are dying in positions of power without nurturing the next generation. and so we have a pipeline that stopped up because we don't have forced retirement anymore. and if you say anything about retirement, you could be sued. so we have people who have been waiting for their chance and i know my generation and generations after mine are still waiting for the generations
6:16 am
above us. do we move over so that we can have an opportunity to lead as well? so before we run out of time, i want to ask you for a solution what, what could happen that would be productive in your opinion for american democracy as we move towards election day. i mean, do you, do you see any silver lining here? the, the silver lining i see is if we have the opportunity for people to actually have their voices heard on platforms, not just social media platforms, but platforms like this one platforms across the country. there used to be a time where you could go into a theater or into other places auditoriums and have the base about these issues. we're not able to have those the base because they become so rock is we need to be able to have conversations across these different issues with different opinions and find out what our commonality is. that's the whole,
6:17 am
what is common among us and not what divides us. yeah, we haven't been able to get there and we really need to be able to do that. yep. building some bridges. we certainly need to work on that infrastructure that is to ensure constitutional law, professor and author, gloria j brown, marshall professor. it's good to have you on. thank you. thank you. is my 1st day back in the white house, i will terminate every open borders. policy of the by the administrator will stop the invasion on a southern border and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in america. and we have well, that was former us president and the republican front runner. as we said, donald trump talking about what is expected to be one of the top campaign issues and this year's election. the migration serge along the us, mexico border record breaking numbers of migrants had been detained, trying to cross the us mexico border illegally since president biden. took off as
6:18 am
many republicans and even some within biden's own democratic party had been pushing for tougher policies. if i'm going to, i want to bring in our washington bureau chief in his pole is good to see you. yeah, we are happy new year by the way, and this is an election year. so we got a lot to talk about why does homeland security secretary of the honda my your guess? who's responsible for border policy? she is visiting texas today. many americans may say that's long overdue. what do you say? yeah, brenda, i mean, we have been talking actually multiple times when i was at the border on both sides and you know, when you are there it's, it's really evident that these small border towns are just totally overwhelmed by the shoe number of people. so it is absolutely understandable that many americans are worried not only those who are living there, but also those in the,
6:19 am
in the cities where, uh, mexico, sorry, texas governor edwards bus to migrants to, uh, to kind of show, uh that, uh, the problem is not only his problem living in the state, which is a border state, but that it also should console and the rest of the country. so people expect, uh my all cars to come up with some kind of an answer. you know, you an issue. we've talked to numerous times you've reported for us from the us mexican border and i remember you sharing images of what worked like, obviously like a crisis at the border, yet the by the administration has refused to say that there is a crisis. how do you explain their as well for him as well? joe biden, and the democrats, it's a very difficult topic. why is that the democratic party is a so called big tent a party, so they have members which are very diverse. they have many members of his migration
6:20 am
backgrounds. they also have members and potential welders from the rather a left leaning spectrum of the party. and as every election in the united states is decided by such a small margin, it is very difficult for the joe biden to take a clear stand on that. but this is changing in the light of these tens of thousands of migraines crossing to border uh every week. and even my youngest were just talking about him, the homeland security secretary, he kind of has shown some willingness to discuss new rules that would allow for example, for more rapids deputation, but also to kind of fund a more border control. and these are ask you real quickly just before you know, time is migration immigration. is that the one issue that could cost by the white house in november? yeah, absolutely. because donald trump,
6:21 am
a former president who recognizes that this is the one issue which not only kind of unify as his party, but of us, which a joe biden is so wonderful. and that's what he's going to focus on. that's what his party will be focusing on, and it will be very, very difficult for joe biden to find an answer to this. it's probably impossible actually to find an answer to this and solvable problem. either easiest part with the ladies tonight from washington, as always, thank here in germany, thousands of farmers have delivered a harvest of traffic block kate. they are opposing plans by the government to reduce subsidies on fuel that is used in agriculture. more disruptions to select the one you see behind me there is expected this week when the train drivers are due to go on a 3 day strike. they're seeking higher wages, the industrial action,
6:22 am
it is raising more questions over the strength of europe's largest economy, which is struggling with low growth and persistent inflation. and they are furious, driving hundreds of tractors, german farmers rolled into the center of berlin. they want the government's to roll back plans, cuts the diesel subsidies, which will make fuel for agricultural vehicles, more expensive. as my mac design 5, you can just see older rome, the people are unhappy with a government. i think that's why more and whole people are joining us. you can see it here. shipping companies out here, trades people out here. oh, hard working people from the middle class. well, also struggling with rising prices and other things i can apply the zone, save yourself to kevin from home. the german government has already repealed some of the cuts. but many of the farmers say it's not enough. they found support among the conservative opposition. you must do them by the a,
6:23 am
lindsey it's thought sense. it is clear to see germany. is that a tipping point? the government has pro the rise this country in a way we haven't seen in decades. the deep tom think i'm talking, you know, one of the protest main targets is german economy minister of all the topic. one is warns against extremist leanings among those taking part in the rally is because you offices from the cold for a government of a through i being circulated. extreme is groups of being formed and natural as symbols of being opened. the display of drama is becoming clear that something has shifted and reads cindy is lifting the boundaries of legitimate democratic protest and freedom of expression. so that one used to be on speaker will not seem to be legitimized how big recently experienced the farmers anger himself. last week, a group of protesters tried to storm a fairy, he was on the german farmers association has distance itself from the incident.
6:24 am
and in berlin to some fear that the protest movement could be exploited by the far right. only, i just hope that the a s t policy doesn't benefit too much from this. that wouldn't help us in germany, in the long term. my about from the farmers wants to continue protesting all week. they want to make it clear to the government that they aren't ready to back down the world of sports is morning, the passing of a german football icon front that can bower, the man who was nicknamed the kaiser or the emperor, died sunday of the age of $78.00 spec and buyer was one of the most successful players in soccer, helping clinch the world cup for germany, both as a player and then as a coach, leader in his life they can. bower was accused of bringing corruption to the beautiful get to my colleague, chris harrington from dw sports is here in the studio with me now to talk about
6:25 am
begging power. so what do we know crestview talk to me about this, this powering figure? yeah, back in bower, the emperor, he could have been called king by this because he had the golden touch everywhere he went, he won, he came up through as the buyer and quickly established himself with the senior level. they want 3 or 4, but it's like a titles 3 year period cuts. that's the equivalent of the champions league. he's only one of 3 men to have one, the work up as a player. and as a manager in 1974 with west germany, he was a captain of the team, then one and then in 1990 came back for some more. and one as a manager, you know, i think he will be greatly lost here in germany in the sport. you know, it. well, i mean, a lot of people are already morning. i know lot of people are going to miss and talk to me about what he meant to the people here in germany. you don't think he's considered the greatest german football or ever, you know, as an american, i compare him to what michael jordan is to basketball, you know,
6:26 am
considering how elegant he was on and off the page. you know, that was a lot of what people had to say they admired, you know, his persona off the page. and he actually went across the pond, played in new york with other legends like pay away. and i said, i learned one small story about him in 1974 as he was a captain for west germany. evan costa was the 1st black german football there today view for west germany. they haven't costa told me himself he would not have played if not, if it weren't for beck and bower, he wasn't in the lineup, beckoned bower insisted that he would get an opportunity to play so that really, you know, i touch your media and in particular way because it says that he cared a lot more than just the sport and the acolytes that he received. but as you mentioned, a dark cloud hung over his head because of the world cup the summer fairytale in 2006. but he, he had been struggling with his health for quite some time, and the prosecutors decided to stop pursuing him. so you know that part of his
