right now, i want to talk about rbg.ginsburg's death has hit a lot of people hard, especially women. - [bleep]! - and i think it's because-- - mommy? - i think it's because-- - mommy? - buddy, can mommy please just have two minutes to cry in a closet? - again? - i think it's because, as american women, ruth is a big reason why we've made it this far. long before she got to spend 27 years in the middle of this comb-over sandwich, rbg was already changing the world for women. in 1972, she cofounded the aclu's women's rights project. there, alongside pioneers like dorothy kenyon and pauli murray, she spent years carefully laying the groundwork to force u.s. law to acknowledge something radical. women are, like, full-on people. - nobody in our country did more for the advancement of women in terms of women's equality. - justice ruth bader ginsburg devoted her life to fight for equal justice. - she's an american icon. she was a huge glass ceiling breaker for all women. - i would like to show my granddaughters that the equal c

, team rbg she had mugs made the said team rbg but i was in the pre-and there was post notorious, i was friends from one of the clerks with the year that she became the notorious rbg and she said they had to explained what is the notorious rbg. >> once they did she really loved it, she liked that people were celebrating and she spoke her truth and she called out and justice were she sought and that's where the nickname originated from and the w law students did so they love her shelby county dissent, they started the expression you can't spoke truth without ruth and i can't say she thought about all of that but what i observed is that she definitely, it was never about her or the limelight it was aboutbo the ideas it was about the principles and what she cared about and embraced and loved about being the notorious rbg a got people talking about those things and it got people talking about the work that was soso important to her so for tht reason i think she embraced a lot of it because i think back to when i interviewed her berkeley and she did this on other occasions when we sat down i

i really think perhaps the most instructive lesson is from rbg.you're on the high court and you don't want to go, you're not going to go no matter what people say. >> shannon: yeah and kevin, that's what i find. the more that they are pressured to go, the more they dig in their heels and stay. these people have been decades and dedicated their life to doing this. they are not going until they are good and ready. who is leading the push at this point to put some pressure on justice breyer? >> interesting question. a couple of factions are at work. some that you're going to hear about and see in others will carry the water for the team that really wants to make it happen. democrats obviously would love it if they could get a younger, more progressive jurists on the bench while there's a biden in the white house. however, you're not going to see them run out and say as much publicly, not usually. they are going to get surrogates to get out there and say things, like mondaire jones saying we are going -- we know how it plays out if we don't get someth

are you related to the great rbd -- rbg? guest: i like to think she will be proud to have me as a son, but we are not related at all. part of the problem here is the mainstream social media companies are by and large excellent places for americans to communicate a lot. what happens is during periods of incitement, of increased tension in the united states, all the crazies come out to put conspiracy theories on the internet. then it is replicated and amplified by algorithms inside these organizations that enable eyeballs to watch and read the stuff. why facebook is permitting qanon content to remain on its platform even though we know it is camouflaged, even though facebook pledged almost eight months ago to eliminate all cueing on content from his platform, is really unacceptable. why the united states has not done more to fight to the use of telegram the mobile app as a one-stop shop for extremist incitement, largely white extremist incitement in the united states, is beyond me. the list goes on and on. why does youtube per

neither did jeff bezos in 2007 or 201 1-rbgs the same year he claimed a 4,000 child tax credit and renowned investor warren buffett avoided the most tax of any of the billionaires propublica looked at according to the report. >> as shocking as it is nothing they did is illegal. everything that they did is in keeping with our tax code. and the basic reason is we tax income, not wealth. >> rich people often grow their fortunes through stocks, real estate or companies so they don't have to pay taxes until they sell. and they can offset their income in other ways too. meaning it's legal to be worth a lot and pay a little. >> trevor: oo ow ee, it's good to be a billionaire. i mean imagine being so rich that you can afford accountants who make you look poor. think about it, jeff bezos is so good at hiding his wealth that equal fies for a child tax credit. this dude built his own rocket to take him to space. and the u.s. government is like hey, brother, here's something for the kids until you can get back on your feet. hard times, jeff. >> and yes, this is something that every one already suspecte

she's also the author of notorious rbg, the life and times of ruth bader ginsburg. thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having me, zerlina. >> erin, speak to why eel law school in particular, is really a power center. and how these two professors were at the center of it? >> sure. one of the reasons i was interested in reporting on this piece is precisely this nexus of power that you mentioned. that four supreme court justices that are sitting on the court right now attended, including brett kavanaugh and neil gorsuch, sonia shorter mayor, samuel alito. and the kind of pathway to power those go through law school. but it also go through very powerful professors to correct men students for all kind of opportunities. chief among them the clerk ships. if you get one of these clerk ships on the supreme court puts you on a big path in corporate law can involve a 400,000 dollar bonus. just to sign a deal with a law firm. six of the nine current supreme court justices clerk to on the supreme court themselves. so it might even lead you to the supreme c

and as beloved as she is among democrats and many who respect the supreme court, rbg, the notorious, although there was nothing notorious about justice ginsburg, may she rest in peace, with reflection, do you wish she had decided to retire during the obama administration? >> 100%. and i wish that her illness had not taken her life when did it and she made it a few months longer. i'm sure in her final thinking, she was probably hoping she could hold on. and that's not the way the world worked out. and so it's delivered a court now stwakd federalist society members. to sum it up, that means court members will be leading a court that believes in corporations over consumer interests, and voting rights, you name it. it is not a we the people philosophy. it is we corporate power philosophy. that is so damaging to the vision of a nation founded on the idea that power flows up from the people. not down from the powerful. and i am really sfunld the society members, particularly the originalists, there were no corporations that look anything like modern corporation. they have so twisted that t

ee>> sniper fire, machine gun fire, rbg fire, bounces just feet away from your head and it's a died and killed in a deadly roadside bombing just days after two othersrs were killed as they tok a break from clearing houses. >> the very last house that one of the teams was clearing ended up being just a kill house. >> three months later, he recorded the scene from a rooftop to show his parents he was safe. he quickly became the target of an iraqi sniper. >> got shut up by a sniper. >> days before, last minute decision by his platoon sergeant ordering him to switch assault life.e saved his >> there is nothing about it. it's a big, large, soft target. it's aluminum, aluminum underbelly. if on the vehicle, we have 17 marines are so packed into it. sitting on 50,000 rounds of ammunition. see marine in the open, as a fireball, it was a pressure plate ied with like hacksaw blades and a just sliced right the aluminum underbelly of the vehicle hitting on the jet pool, all the thousands ofll round of ammunition. >> 15 marines were killed instantly. from lima company, combat was nothing compared to

she is also the author of notorious rbg, the life and times of ruth bader ginsburg.center, and how these this two professors were at the center of it. >> sure. one of the reason i was interested in reporting on this is this nexus of power that you mentioned. that four supreme court justices sitting on the court right now attended, including brett kavanaugh and neil gorsuch, sonja. it goes through professors who can recommend students for all kinds of opportunities, chief among them the clerkships. if you get one of these clerkships on the supreme court, it puts out a glide path to corporate law. it can be a $400,000. and six of them clerked on the supreme court themselves themselves. it might even lead you to the supreme court. this unusually small, only 200 students a year attend law school, it's a sort of pipeline to a lot of the powers that be right now. so for two individuals who happen to be married to each other, happen to be pretty colorful carings to now stand accused of abusing that power by a whole new generation of students, this pointed to a new conflict

seeing the shift among democrats, whether it's progressives that are far more vocal than they were with rbg. now they're asking him -- you should step aside for the good of their priorities where they weren't doing that as much for ginsburg. >> when you have control of the senate, you should get a supreme court vacancy and try to get it passed. there's no longer a guarantee. this is up to steven breyer. he's got lifetime tenure. he gets to decide. when you're one of those nine, i suspect you figure it's all about me. i'm not worried about the rest of it. he doesn't know who is going to replace him. if the white house wants to encourage breyer to go, someone should be whispering in his ear about who they're going to nominate. that may be something that would be persuasive. >> there's the sandra day o'connor who thought it was a bad idea to leave the court and then there's the kennedy model, you leave when your time is up. >> it seems tliek like the trump administration followed the advice you're giving them. >> absolutely they did. they give them every assurance about who was coming next and

she says this part of russia's master plan to hurt ph-rbg. to the plans before it's too late. thank you for being here, rebecca. >> thank you, sandra. >> sandra: what's your warning to the american people based on what you know? >> based on what i know cyber is just one tool of russia's larger scheme. much wider ranging campaign to destabilize america. russia has never gotten over the collapse of the soviet union. it would like to reconstitute it's influence and restore it's great power status. they believe that the united states is in it's way, in putin's way. >> john: now, rebecca, the biden consider is considering the ransomware attacks as threats to u.s. security in the united states. that seems to be a no brainer unless you consider the entire southeast running out of gasoline in four days not to be a national security threat. >> right. i have seen the washington journal article. my response is this, that is great that this has been announced. what took so long? to be honest with you the russians have been ransacking our networks since l

she went to the wrong part of the border if she cared about root causes she have went down to the rbg. now fers, i know there is a depth of the border, miles and miles where border facilities are. she went to -- she didn't actually visit the border. she went to a border patrol station nine miles from the rio grande, talked to activists posed for photos and left before 1:00 bmw. did exactly what we thought she would do. quick pop in, see what she needs for her narrative and then out of there. >> just to add to that vice president kamala harris also said whether it came to the migrant children held in detention facilities there was increasing optimism and as well progress on that front. there is a cbs news report out right now that dozens of migrant children are now on suicide watch. they have been held up to 60 days. listen to this. they have had pencils, pens, anything metallic confiscated including the nose clips from n-95 masks because they have been used, including i.d. cards issued by the government for slitting their wrist. dozens placed on suicide watch. that's not progress. tha

they are going to fix the live system in the rbg system ground zero just east of me.ting is those who can't pay become indentured servants. that's why i was happeny earlier in the show we had lara logan on she talked about the complicity of the u.s. government in this kind of activity and really many of the people who cross over are children who wind up in the sex trade because there is just no accountability for who comes over the border. pete? pete: yeah, for years we heard about separating kids in cages and being separated from parents will kids effectively disappear in america. that's live footage of the border wall in la jolla, texas. waves of people, minute by minute, hour by hour, live on television, with the coyotes just out in the open saying this is what we do. will: meanwhile, back here in, i guess, more simple part of america, the fallout has just gn from congresswoman ilhan omar controversial tweet. the tweet that shows stunning illiteracy and perhaps more deeply a hatred of america in comparing the united states terrorist organizations like hamas. just b
