the press, including the ap, is a big part of that. but also the courts and local governments, nonprofits, and all of american civic society. we have and have had for awhile a two-party system in this country with opposing sides at odds over all sorts of issues from abortion to taxation. but the system has historically functioned within the boundaries what was you might call normal democratic politics. well, at least in the last 40 or 50 years. now one of those coalitions is fundamentally radicalizing under basically explicitly anti-democratic and authoritarian banner led by the twice-impeached ex-president who attempted to violently overthrow a free and fair election by whipping on a mob and hurling them at the capitol. so how will our mainstream institutions in american life respond to that threat? that will be perhaps the defining question in the new year. medhi hasson, and syndicated columnist and policy editor of "the bulwark." and the former campaign manager for barack obama in 2008, former senior advisor to president obama, and

now reporting from the ap was across the country. this was a slew of major publications including in georgia. the houston chronicle intestine and the tampa bay times in florida. the wisconsin state journal, cbs news, the arizona daily star as well among others. the piece methodically lays out all the evidence behind one of the biggest stories that we have been following this year. the coordinated effort by donald trump and his supporters to the republican party to clear the way for trump's next attempted insurrection or coup. all year long they have been working to convince republicans that the last election was stolen. and then to put into place the infrastructure to control the outcome of future elections despite with the voters may stay. as the ap describes, it in battleground states and beyond republicans are taking hold of the once overlooked machinery of elections. experts are sounding alarms, warning that the united states is witnessing a slow motion insurrection with the better chance of success than trump's failed power grab

"the ap" report found 26. 26. two-digit number. what is your reaction to that, given what you've been through, given what the president said? >> well, "the ap" report is consistent with my experience as a republican administrator of elections in a city as big as philadelphia. we have taken cases of voter fraud very seriously. we've investigated them and when warranted, referred them to law enforcement. in each and every case, it involves nothing more than a handful of votes. that doesn't mean they shouldn't be investigated. it doesn't mean that they shouldn't be prosecuted. but the truth is that voter fraud is very difficult to commit and very easy to detect. >> and -- and that's crucial. that's what people need to understand because as part of this, i think there's been this sinister belief that neither one of those things are true, right? that it is common and it is easy, when in fact both are false. and, dana, you know, we played the former president there talking about the very same states that "the ap" investigates, right? but

i love the apes. i want to show solidarity.ysayer. don't lose sight of the goal, you know what i mean? >> absolutely, charles. people have a pretty good head on their shoulders, intuition being able to recognize those who do stand up against naysayers and specific naysayers that might need lawyers but at the end of the day it is exactly about what you mentioned, fight for your neighbor, try to make the holiday season better. charles: you, by the way are the personification of the apes. that is why i love you. i love your story. i'm glad you always come on. with that in mind, often what happens is, this is by the way a wall street gimmick, how did you perform in a certain year, because nobody starts from zero, right? investing is not monopoly. we don't start at go with zero. it's a wall street marketing gimmick. nevertheless the calendar turns attention spans can wane. people move on to other things. with that in mind, what is next do you think with the investing ape movement as we move into 2022? will it be as strong? >> you kn

we're hiring at ap a director of talent to help us do that.ur external recruitment and staff internally, we're constantly thinking about growth, we're talking about thinking about inclusion and belonging. that's important. to alessandra's point, those of us in the leadership roles and i love the photo of the ten women, that we're thinking about who we're bringing up behind us too. it's great we had this progress over the last year. it's more important to make sure that progress is maintained. >> that's certainly a priority in 2022. what are your other priorities for the coming year? >> we have a few priorities when it comes to our coverage. one, climate change. i think this is one of the existential crises facing the planet now. we're facing more resources and hiring reporters around the globe to make sure we devote the proper attention to this coverage area. i think democracy continues to be one of our major coverage areas and then just the question where the world goes coming out of the pandemic. i think we need to be open-minded about what

she's one of the reporters for the ap. christina cassidy, thank you so much for joining us.nd wide-ranging effort that you and your colleagues made come over you or 10 other reporters. you talked to one of 340 election officials across these estates. what were you trying to find out? christina: heading into the november 3 election, we were certainlaware about various statements being made about voter fraud. we were also aware that academic studies have shown it is exceptionally rare. but once november 3 happened and we saw everything that happened since, we decided at ap that we wanted to go to the source. we wanted to look for the voter fraud and we wanted to identify what voter fraud had occurred, what potential voter fraud had occurred in the november 3 election. and so we embarked on this reporting effort that involved reporters in six states. the six states that were disputed by president trump and his allies. and we went to the local election officials and we asked them to identify for us any potential instances of voter fraud, and that they had flagged during their po

so i want to bring in investing youtuber, investing ape matt kohrs.et selling begets selling. it is on full display with amc, gamestop and others. what do you think is going on here? >> i think recently there are two major things going on. first of all with amc, the past two or three weeks the short interest is rising, which is more supply. obviously with more supply the price is going to go down. amc has just under 20% short interest. gme has 16% short interest. on the other side of it, i think big entities, whales, big institutions, hedge funds are kind of reacting to what we're seeing in the overall market. i was listening to your previous segment and inflation is extreme right now. i think everyone is waiting for the fed result tomorrow. i wouldn't be that surprised, i don't think it is implausible if some big players are pivoting out of high-risk equity classes or amc, gme, would be considered a high-risk equity class. charles: i've done a number of stories on this show using my own experience of really buying and holding and i always make the po

an ap spokesperson told democracy now!"we are deeply concerned about this apparent abuse of power. this appears to be an example of journalists being targeted for simply doing their jobs, which is a violation of the first amendment." for more, we're joined by jana winter, the investigative correspondent for yahoo! news whose major new exposÉ is headlined, "operation whistle pig: inside the secret cbp unit with no rules that investigates americans." welcome to democracy now! take us through what took place and why this was called operation whistle pig. >> first, thank you for having me on. second, there are a lot of tentacle so bear with me. operation whistle pig was a leak investigation started by a porta patrol agent named jeffrey rambo who was detailed to cbp's counter network division. initially, his investigation targeted ali watkins and james wolfe but it spread to as many as 20 other journalists. i would also like to mention we have no information this is not occurring today. the same people are in charge come the sa

liz: kind of been a brutally cold december for the meme stock apes, the reddit crowd back in january betting against amc and gamestop , but since the start of this month, gamestop shares have lost about 26%, and amc stock is 34% this as short interest is steadily increasing, according to ortex data short interest in amc theaters which at the end of november stood at 16%, has now increased to 19% while the short s in gamestop have grown from 11% to 14% over the same time period. both stocks are still up dramatically in 2021 if you bought amc in january, you're up 1,058% and same for gamestop if you bought it in january you can boast a 685% spike. charlie gasparino joins us now, with more on the reddit rebellion. charlie: we should point out a lot of people don't buy it and hold it like that they trade out of it and the problem with this particularly amc, there's this meme out there, so to speak , about amc, that there's the mother of all short squeezes coming, and that lured people into buying the stock when they read that on the message boards, at 70, 72. we should point out that's t

when we go down the path and wonder why board apes are so valuable, we have web 3, the metaverse, andd maps these newer launches are putting together, what i really love about the whole space is, it's really kind of this offshoot of wall street bets in a way where you're seeing the convergence of ideas. gaming avatars can earn you money. they can be wallets. they can be your identity. we've never seen that before >> les, we hope you come back and keep us posted les borsai at the wave fund. dan, the idea of community, what we saw with wall street bets, what we saw with the reddit community, is that there can be massive, strong momentum behind a cause, behind an idea, behind a concept. and that was a trend in 2021 and i think that is helping this nft trade. >> yeah, mel, you bring up a great point, but this is so much more than that because i think that the reddit -- that thing is really only about money. and what i think les is talking about, and i think what i've kind of learned over the last few months, spending some time, you know, kind of digging into some of these communities, is

air force spokesperson telling the ap for this weekend unvaccinated air guard members can still reportget the vaccine on the spot at their base this week. while they're there, quote, commanders will use the opportunity to educate their personnel on vaccination requirements and the consequences of not complying with the mandate. that all needs to happen quickly this weekend because those consequences start on monday. as far as the pentagon is concerned, this isn't a complicated thing. if you are not vaccinated you are not deployable. you are not ready in military readiness terms. and so we got a clear and uncomplicated order from the secretary of defense this summer. whether or not troops are currently on active duty they have to get vaccinated against covid like they have to get vaccinated against all other things. so they're ready if called to serve. this weekend defense secretary lloyd austin put out another memo making it clear the ram fingss for those decides not to get vaccinated he says the secretaries of the army and air force have to implement policies so that members of the na

look at the ap for example reporting on the sluggish jobs report under biden about #it 10,000 jobs addednth. the same nonpartisan outlet called the number under trump a robust 200,000. and then there's the fact that we are living through a very common expectations game. you follow the news and politics so i bet you're familiar with it. remember when donald trump got fewer votes the first time he ran but he did eek out an electoral college victory and there was this cottage industry of trying to send out reporters to understand what these trump voters who are fewer in number thought. it was hardly because the media and i do work here but the media got it wrong, didn't see it coming, then wanted to really bear down on what those fewer number of trump supporters thought. you didn't see the same march of caravans to go report on what all these biden voters thought. and there are many reasons for that. i'm not over simplifying and saying all reporters but take a look for example here. politico headlines, biden's 44% approval rating as voters' doubts rising about biden's health. mental fitness
