this is just a part of barbara's legacy. this speech is called the barbara k. olson memorial lecture, although i never cared for the term lecture. it sounds too much like a colonoscopy [laughter] or any recent speech by president biden. [laughter] so, i prefer to think of this as a remembrance. so, in preparing for this evening i thought i might try to , channel barbara and what she , might think and say about the state of politics and society in america today had her life not been so brutally ended on september 11. i have no doubt she would have a lot to say to us, so i will try to limit these imaginary insights to just four subjects. first -- america's standing and stature in the world and in the hearts of its people. barbara, like her fellow texans, loved this country and was proud to be an american. she believed in an america that stood tall, was respected by its citizens, allies, and other nations, feared by its enemies, abided by its commitments, and protected the lives and rights of its people. the america that gave birth to the individuals about who tom

barbara: what you think of what the u.s. is doin >> the u.s.n, the international community has not stepped in, they allowed us to suffer. wheth -- what other options do we have other than to fight back? barbara: outside the state department, chance to plead their case. >> don't think we are not thinking of ways to be supportive of all sides in this conflict, all the communities of the ethiopian people. barbara: what you see in washington is a reflection of what is happening in ethiopia. fighting there is taking place between ethnic group said demonstrations here also showcase those ethnic visions. -- ethnic divisions. across town, supporters of the ethiopian government insist the west has it wrong. the americans are calling for cease-fire and negotiations with rebels who are advancing on the capital. >> we can't negotiate with terrorists. would you negotiate with isis? no, you wouldn't. they are not equal partners. >> they kl, they raped, the people died. my aunt, my uncle, my family is there. i don't know if they died or are still alive. barba

barbara, what should people remember about bob dole? >> they should remember that he served his country with great distinction and courage starting in world war ii, where he was nearly killed in the 10th mountain division and fighting north of florence in thetalian theater of war, was really left for dead with such as grievous wound, but came back to the united states, went through months and years of surgeries and rehabilitation, from paralysis to a right arm and shoulder that were left virtually useless, and then carried on to go on into politics. he had hoped to be a surgeon, but instead he was actually going under the surgeon's knife rather than being the surgeon. so he decided on law school, went into the kansas legislature, then on into congress and ran for vice president and president unsuccessfully. but he should certainly be remembered for this long, long record of service to the country. >> sreenivasan: one of the things that comes up about his career in congress is his ability to find bipartisan solutions and, to me, one of t

jon donnison in moscow and barbara plett usher in washington. let's start with you, barbara.re about what the americans said about ukraine? we don't know very much == americans said about ukraine? we don't know very much— americans said about ukraine? we don't know very much -- in which it reaffirmed — don't know very much -- in which it reaffirmed what _ don't know very much -- in which it reaffirmed what we _ don't know very much -- in which it reaffirmed what we have _ don't know very much -- in which it reaffirmed what we have been - don't know very much -- in which it reaffirmed what we have been told | reaffirmed what we have been told earlier that president biden expressed concerns about the escalation of forces. he said the us was prepared to respond with tough economic and other measures, repeating support for ukraine's territorial integrity. in saying that all responses would continue to be coordinated with allies, which we saw before. the readout also said both sides task to their team to follow up, so it does seem there wasn't some sort of continuation or process

barbara: yes.ould argue it might show the impact of politics because the conservative right has been working towards this for many year, towards a restrictive ruling on the abortion. the three appointments to the court made by trump have given it the conservative majority that might make that pass. trump said that was his goal. if that happens, it would go against public opinion because polls show the majority of americans support abortion rights. the democrats would certainly take up the issue and use it for campaigning in the midterms. we do not know how big a role abortion rights will play in deciding midterms. ura: thank you so much. the first case of omicron in the u.s. has been reported in california. speaking at the white house, dr. fauci laid out what we know about the person who has it. dr. fauci: the individual was a traveler who returned from south africa in november and tested positive week later. the individual is in self-quarantine and all close contacts have been contacted and so far

barbara. the mayor of that cloudy lopez who had requested this report and asked for assistance to the united nations that she once again said that she has very sorry for what happens. she asked the family for the families of the victims for forgiveness and said that she was totally follow the recommendations of that report. then she called holding back tears on the president and the leadership of the police for them to recognize what happened and to yes sir, and what she's been trying to push forward for over 2 years now, which is the reform of the way the police operates in a columbia, but that hasn't happened yet. we haven't heard from a president at the time of these protests the mayor had called on pray, severe decay to do something to call the police. and he said, do care what he did was described the protesters as urban terrorists using a language, usually a youth in this country during the internal conflict to describe left, the spirit in surgeon. so what we see so far is that the natio

he joined us recently from santa barbara, california.hat's interesting about infrastructure is that america, more than many other countries, help define the scale and scope of large projects that we could take on. i mean, you're talking everything from the hoover dam to the highway infrastructure system. what's different now? >> yeah, you're absolutely right. this used to be a point of pride. i mean, go back to the erie canal, the transcontinental railroad-- hoover dam, the biggest public works project in history, at the time, in the middle of the depression, finished two years ahead of schedule and under budget. and we just don't seem to be able to do that anymore. literally, the "new york times" recently cataloged from one end of the country to the other massive delays and cost overruns. the long island railroad connection to grand central terminal now estimated years late at three or four times the original cost. out here in california back in 2008, the voters approved a high speed railroad from l.a. to san francisco, right? that is n

, frank, chuck rosenburg, i'll just go around the room here and barbara i'll start with you.point, the executive privilege will fall and they will get those documents which will be very important. with regard to fifth amendment privileges of self incriminal , incrimination have to make a decision with immunity. >> this week, we heard liz cheney twice, refer verbatim to federal statutory language of a crime, with regard to what she's looking at in terms of meadows and others. i think they'll make a criminal referral to doj and i think they'll do it before they get disbanded. >> and chuck, to you? >> yeah, two thoughts. first, i think they've already done an extraordinary job. they've spoken to more than 300 witnesses. they have reviewed 10s of thousands of documents, they'll tell a robust story. in an investigation, you never get everything you want, some witnesses lie, some are invaluable, so this is something we as prosecutors contend with all the time. there are people who won't speak with the committee or justice department, that doesn't mean the work of the committee is f

barbara, i'm going to start with you.en take up the appeal case by the trump legal team? >> i think it's very unlikely, jonathan. i think that the decision that the court of appeals made, which affirmed the trial court in this case, really got it right and had a very lengthy and well-reasoned opinion. and essentially what they said is it is the incumbent president other than joe biden who gets to decide whether there is privilege that should be asserted because executive privilege is a qualified one. and while a former president can give his input and his advice, ultimately the decision belongs to the current president. i think that's a very sound decision. it's based on supreme court precedent, and so it seems to me very unlikely that they'll take it up. as congress has requested, if the court does decide to take it up, at least do it quickly. >> joyce, do you see anything more than a political benefit to trump's lawyers arguing that the committee doesn't have the authority to seek a criminal referral? >> like so many ot

joining me now, barbara mcquaid, former u.s.enior columnist. thank you for coming to "the reidout." tim, the idea of donald trump suing the attorney general for the state of new york, this is out of trump playbook, long running trump playbook, isn't it? >> it is and it's really, you know, i wouldn't call it a lawsuit. i'd call it a hail mary pass. it is front of mind for donald trump now is he has to sit for a deposition on january 7th and donald trump is every lawyer's nightmare when it comes to being deposed under oath because he's a liar. he exaggerates and doesn't stick to the script. he views depositions as performance and gets him in trouble and the other thing is the last time he had a major government investigation at his doorstep was 50 years ago when the department of justice investigated the trump family for racism and discrimination in their housing projects in brooklyn. all of the intervening decade amounted to donald trump weaponizing lawsuits in private disputes for business competitors for the most part and publi

. >> now to a developing story in santa barbara, unusual weather in santa barbara county, much in thelimits. witnesses are describing a small tornado or microburst. a huge tree toppled onto a carport in an apartment complex. if you are familiar with santa barbara, on 101, we are in and out is, there is a residential area where there are power outages in the area, is all happens tonight as this microburst apparently pushed through. >> in la county, another day of huge lines at testing sites, on christmas. some of the sites opened for christmas day and close in the afternoon while people were still waiting, leaving many frustrated. others got lucky and were very grateful. >> even among the jewish, this is the very best christmas present i could ever have in my life, i will always remember it. >> across the country, a second covid christmas for many, this thing or attending church services virtually, and 24,000 in new york state have tested positive in a single day, the search has led to many to take tough calls at a time when committees were hoping to come together. >> it is supposed to

attorney from the other than district, barbara mcquaid.eme court opened the door to those very kinds of challenges. did find some ching in the armor of the law. it bans abortion after six weeks, but it doesn't say that state officials are the ones who enforce it. the enforcement mechanism is allowing anybody anywhere to sue any abortion provider. now, the question was if the texas authorities weren't going to enforce it, then who do you sue? that's what the supreme court case was about. the court unanimously said you can't sue state court judges. they don't enforce anything. by a 5 -4 ruling the court said by the way, chief justice roberts with liberals. by a 5 -4 ruling the court said you can't sue state court clerks or the attorney general, but by an 8-1 vote with only justice thomas saying you can sue the members of the state medical board that license clinics. it leaves open for challengers to go back to federal court and try to get this law overturned. this case was not about the abortion right. it was simply about the structure of th

ross: thanks to barbara and john.ng to france, police there have arrested a saudi national suggestion of involvement in the murder of jamal khashoggi and 2018. the man, suspected of being a member of the hit squad carried out the killing inside the consulate. he had written articles critical of the saudi government for the post and other publications and was lured to the consulate and then strangled. after the killing, turkish media named 15 nationals suspected to have flown into istanbul to carry it out him french radio says the person arrested is the man in the gray top on the far right. grainy image, as you can see. named as a former member of the saudi arabian royal guard. we are going to paris to get more details on the arrest. >> the man appears to have been arrested this morning at the airport, boarding a flight to paris to riyadh. the presumption was made is that he is the same man who is on an interval list issued by the turkish government, and an arrest warrant issued by the turks around the world really, pi

ah, hello, i'm barbara serene london. these are the top stories on al jazeera. the world health organization has warned, wealthy countries rushing the handout booster vaccines risk making the cobit 19 pandemic longer because large portions of the globe remain and vaccinated. israel became the 1st country to announce it would give a force vaccine dose. the global priority might be to support all countries to reach the 40 percent target as quickly as possible. and the 70 percent target by the middle of this year. knock on 3 can boost its way out of the pandemic. and boosters cannot be seen as a ticket to go ahead with the planned celebrations without the need for other precautions. meanwhile, more than a 1000000 covered 900 vaccines has been destroyed in nigeria. the astrazeneca shots were sent through the international kovacs program and delivered within weeks of expiring. the country is struggling to build public trust in the vaccine. fidelis simba has one from a boot on one of the vaccines for this point, so publicly according to health officials in the capital

ah, hello and barbara, sarah london as these are the top stories on al jazeera, the on the con, variance is driving a surge of corona virus infections globally. but some countries are reluctant to heighten cobra restrictions in the u. s. isolation, periods have been hard for people with no symptoms. while the u. k. has promised no new restrictions before the new year. that's the spite reporting an average of more than $100000.00 cases each day over the past 7 days. here's john hall with the christmas and new year holiday period was always likely to speed the advance of the army chrome variant. and so it is proving in the u. k. a record 129000 new infections were reported on tuesday, but the government's decision not to disrupt new year's celebrations. and instead to emphasize vaccine booster shots reflect positive signs that hospital admissions and death numbers aren't rising with the same intensity. we're looking at the data, we wouldn't hesitate to act if we saw that the data told us that we needed to introduce the measures. but so far, that's not what the data is telling us. the cauti

barbara: last year, we were taking that in sales, not earnings.nk going forward, mass matters and people would be far more focused on cash flow and asset value because masks -- mass works. if the market is not pricing something accordingly, private equity will. that is where i feel safe, where you have the margin of safety, which is always mass and not send -- not sentiment. matt: bleeding into that, we have the incredible sloshing of liquidity. especially when you bring up pe, i think of the 2 -- $2 trillion something number that people throw around every year. we see massive bids, even at under $50,000 for coin is worth under $50,000. you see bids for companies that are never going to make any money on wall street bets. isn't this liquidity assessing the market and as it drains out, will that change the picture and paint the equation? barbara ann: absolutely. i think what we have is we have a bubble of speculation. draining liquidity drains that bubble and that is not a bad thing. the world i grew up in, traditional metrics based on cash flow, a

let's now go back to barbara and our london studio. santa. thank you very much for that. now, russian president vladimir putin has revealed that he drove a taxi to make ends meet after the fall of the soviet union. speaking in a documentary on russian t. v, he said the soviet collapse remains a tragedy for most russian citizens. it's been interpreted by some analysts says, reflecting a desire to recreate the u. s. ceasar, including by potentially invading ukraine. in the 30 years since vladimir putin stays as a cabbie, the former k g b agencies school to have a massive, huge wealth. he allegedly owns several palaces including this one on the black sea . and that is it for this news our deuce there with a song that we back in just a few moments with more of these things. they witness. ah ah. and the 20th centuries, 1st, genocide, though it has set the blueprint for the holocaust is too often overlooked. the sand will come in very everything. but for some reason the sand refused to bury these people. they want this story to be taught over a century on the injustice still ec

with me is barbara mcquaid, former u.s. attorney, now professor at the university of michigan law school, also co-host of the "sister-in-law product cast" and former msnbc analyst. justice sonia sotomayor made the point during yesterday's arguments you heard on msnbc, it was fascinating that tossing out landmark rulings on abortion rights could tarnish the court's reputation. here's some of what she had to say. listen. >> will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception, that the constitution and its reading are just political hacks? >> barbara, what do you think this decision potentially could mean for the court as an institution? >> i thought those were very powerful words from justice sotomayor. the tradition of the supreme court and what gives the court its legitimacy but causes people to obey its orders is the notion that it is deciding cases based on fact and law and respecting precedent under the concept of stare decisis. sometimes cases get overruled but there's a process for that,

as hale sat space to deliver your vision. lou hello and barbara, sir in london. these are the top stories on al jazeera votes are being counted in the gambia as presidential election. it's being seen as a test of the country's transition to democracy, the incumbent president of them a barrow seeking another term, but faces 5 rifles at me. the address is more now from the capital benjamin. the tunnel was really a really important, talked to our gumby importer. he will tell you that this election is very important and significant in many respect. this is the 1st time they brought it in close to 30 or 30 years with lots of freedom of choice. lots of freedom of expression, they were in fact clears of things going wrong during the completing period. nothing like that happened on election day though. are few incidents not violent incident and away, but we are waiting to see exactly what happens to morrow when the election results are expected. security forces in marley have been sent to the scene of an ambush in which at least 31 people were killed on friday, women and

thanks to nbc's allison barbara for that report. lots more breaking news for you this hour. >>> in dc, january 6 committee released a report holding former trump chief of staff mark meadows in contempt of court. committee comes ahead tomorrow night, joined by barbara, nbc analyst, law professor, thank you for joining us. first, tell us a little about what we know in terms of what's in this report and what happens next? >> well, it's a very detailed report, ayman. 51 pages, and the committee went to great pains to list all of the steps they have gone through in their efforts to accommodate mark meadows and all the arguments that they have against his assertion of executive privilege. they make a very strong case about why he should be held in contempt, so what they plan to do is present this to the entire house which would have to vote to hold mark meadows in contempt and they instead to do that tomorrow. >> so barbara, my question, yesterday evening i talked to representative ted lou, he believes congress should go to inherent conte

barbara, let's talk about on trump for a second. he is now asked the supreme court to stop the handover of documents to the january 6th committee, would you make of that move? was likely to happen? >> well the lead surprising thing of all, is when he filed this appeal. filing it on the last possible day. i think everybody predicted that part of his game is to stall, stole, stall. in hopes that republicans win the midterms, that they will dismantle this committee, and he'll never actually have to reckon with any decisions, or any disclosures. but, this is a distance asian is already been looked at by -- both of them have said that president biden is the one who gets to control executive privilege president biden -- donald trump continues to persist that the national archives should keep these documents secret. i think, he will lose in the supreme court, in fact, i don't think we'll even get the. case i think will simply let the appeals court decision stand. >> and, peter, the committee and his lawyers have asked the high court to loo

and barbara mcquade, veteran federal prosecutor and former u.s. attorney for the eastern district of miss chicken. she worked with the department of justice during the biden transition. peter, i have got to start with you. because your colleagues at the new york times write this about efforts by mark meadows and republican house members to keep trump in the white house. quote, the group settled on a strategy that would become a blueprint for mr. trump supporters in congress. hammer home on the idea that the election was tainted, announced legal actions being taken by the campaign, and the case with allegations of fraud. peter, i want to talk to us about how they hope to do that. how unprecedented it is. and how the white house chief of staff was involved in all of this. because to fight the fact that joe biden won the election and is in office, those efforts were successful. they are continuing these nonsense voter fraud claims. and the last people they found to actually try and vote twice with three people died in the villages in florida, they we

. >> joining us now are barbara mcquade, former u.s. attorney in michigan and a law professor at the university of michigan law school. and joyce vance, former u.s. attorney for the northern district of alabama and a professor at the university of alabama school of law. they are both msnbc legal contributors. barbara, i hear these judges, and it's hard to understand how nobody who assembled the attackers on january 6th has been charged with a crime. >> yes, jonathan. i think that is something that is disturbing to everybody. and i would add the word after your sentence, "yet." i don't know this is the end of the road to investigate something of the magnitude of what we're seeing from the january 6th committee with plots and e-mails and power points and other things like that would take many, many months to investigate. so the fact we have not seen people charged yet does not mean they won't be charged ever. i understand the frustration we haven't seen charges yet, nor have we seen any inkling of charges. but that's the way it's supposed

barbara, talk to me about these new actions that the u.s.ing to tackle extremism within the ranks. what are you learning? >> reporter: well, kate, i think it's important to start with on january 6th, most of the arrests, the law enforcement actions that involve people with military ties were, in fact, against veterans. there were a very small number of national guard reserve and active duty. the military has had a persistent problem with extremism, but they continue to say at the pentagon it's relatively small numbers. now, that said, they have made a big effort here to try and put some precision on the extremism problem and say exactly what is allowed and was not allowed without impinging on free speech. look at some of the things that this new policy says. you cannot take extremist actions which would include recruiting, training, fund-raising, organizing, demonstrating or rallying. no active participation in extremist organizations. now, the pentagon does not name any particular organizations, but what it really focuses on is extremist ac

trump's lawsuit. >> what does it mean for appeal, barbara?k it's almost certain, as pete says, that donald trump will appeal this ruling. but i don't see it changing. we went through the whole mazars litigation and the supreme court said the president is not immune from the subpoena power of congress but there should be a tightened inquiry whether there is some proper purpose for seeking it and not simply a political purpose. and the judge found that there is a legislative purpose here. courts have consistently held over decades that congress has the power to legislate over many things, confined only by the constitution. if there's anything they want to find out, it's permissible for them to get the information they need. so i think ultimately they will get the records, it's just a matter of waiting for donald trump to exhaust his appeals. >> will this go to the supreme court? >> if it goes to the supreme court, i think they will get it and say, we're already decided this question when we decided the mazars case a couple of years ago. i think

barbara walters got the job she said.roduce a television show called "life with elizabeth" stars herself. that was 1954. so a long time ago. she wanted to initially be a forest ranger, but women weren't allowed to be a forest ranger back then. in 2010, she was given the honorary decidingation of forest ranger by the u.s. forest service. she had an emotional speech and said her parents would be more proud of this than any other award i have won. almost a "today" show anchor, producer of one of the first female producers of a tv show, comedienne, actress, host, and now an honorary forest ranger. that's just incredible. >> so, you know, it's the story of so many women who started their careers early, right? pioneers, wanted to do something that they were prevented from doing, and then honored later. you know, i really want to just talk about -- some friends of mine were texting me, and they were like, tell the story of "password." my group of friends shall a great home padword game going. we had a massive feud about a clue o

barbara,what are your expectations for the january 6 committee going forward?se assertions of privilege. i think the executive privilege will fall and they will get those documents which will be incredibly important. on fifth amendment, they're going to have to make a decision on whether to grant immunity. and they may have to do that to get the information they want. >> we heard liz cheney refer twice to statutory verbage on crime. i think they're going to make a criminal referral to doj and do it before they get disbanded. >> they've already done an extraordinary job. they've reviewed tens of thousands of documents. they're going to tell a robust story point number two, in every investigation you get all that you want. some witnesses lie. there will be people who will not speak to the committee. there are people who will not speak to the fbi or justice department. that does not mean that the work of the committee is flawed or unimportant. >> chuck, you and i have had conversations in the hallway when we used to run into each other when i did a morning show. a

here's barbara harris, and first, helen walker., and first, helen walker.— helen walker. the horrific and tra . ic helen walker. the horrific and tragic murder _ helen walker. the horrific and tragic murder of _ helen walker. the horrific and tragic murder of arthur - helen walker. the horrific and tragic murder of arthur was i helen walker. the horrific and j tragic murder of arthur was an important news story and was rightly included in the news at 6pm. however, it was truly shocking to see film of the little boy in a terrible state of suffering. as recorded by his murderer, followed by a playing of the audio of his cries used as part of the broadcast. the reporter could have described what the jury had had to witness and listened to to explain the full depravity of the people found guilty. it was deeply distressing to be shown this. this would be the case at any time, but the fact it was broadcast at 6pm when children could be around and watching too meant that it went beyond all acceptable levels of disclosure and was not in th

. >> let's cross to washington and speak to barbara, covering this for us.more did we hear from the prosecutor? >> well, she said that the parents had been negligent, and we know, she outlined what their behavior had been in the days leading up to the shooting, so they had bought the gun for ethan as a christmas president -- christmas present, and a few days beforehand, he was called to the office, admonished for behavior in the classroom that raised red flags, so the day before, he had been caught on his phone searching for ammunition. his mother was alerted. she did not respond to the alerts, but she did text him later on saying, look, i am not angry. you just have to learn not to get caught. the next day, he was again called out by teachers becau they found a note he had been scribbling on, and it showed a picture of a gun and blood and a bullet and a bleeding body, and it said the thoughts won't leave me. please help me. so it seemed disturbing and they called his parents. the parents came in and they were told you need to get your son to mental health c

. >> we are joined by the bbc's barbara clive usher. this is such a rare step, why are we seeing this now? >> the prosecutor believed the parents had contributed to a situation with a high chance of harm or death. that is where you can impose involuntary manslaughter charges. she said they had taken egregious acts. they bought the gun and made it available to their son. ignored some warning signs. they were summoned to the school after a drawing was discovered that he made showing a handgun, a bloody body, and these words he had written on it, "blood everywhere," "the thoughts won't stop," "help me." they were summoned to the school and were told their son needed to be in counseling, but resisted, and did not check whether he had the gun. a few hours later, he carried -- he is alleged to have carried out the mass shooting. the prosecutor said to read those words, to know that their son had access to a deadly weapon and not do anything about it was unconscionable. >> the authorities have issued a fugitive warrant for the parents. whatpa
