congress yesterday, the first, to my understanding, representative who openly supports qanon. movementsrious, these in conspiracy theories can morph very quickly, but this one now coming into the halls, what is your facebook and twitter feed doing about that? yael: this is where we just have to be frank. they really did too little, too late. years, it has been a free-for-all conspiracy theory among all these groups that are not just free to operate on these platforms, but being amp -- but being amplified by algorithms. people are connected to groups with each other, and there is no responsibility for how this is all spread. and now, qanon has become such a widespread phenomenon that i am not certain that the platforms -- yes, now they are saying they will ban q and on. they have the hash tag safe for children, are not letting people spread anything with that hash tag. but at this point, it becomes a where, what dome we take down, who do we take down? what do we say about these platforms that makes conspiracy theories and hate groups and all these different organizations thrive? those are much bigger policy questions i'm sure we are not going to get into now, but they are incredibly

differently than she would dress, i think, sunday at church as she does when she's walking to the hall congressull self. that i believe is what attracts so many people to her and what folks admire about her i think will be hopefully her legacy for female politicians Ãbany politicians who happen to be women is you don't have to configure yourself into this space people say is acceptable. she's always sort of embodied that. if you read the book it shows, she's i always been doing that. that was one of my favorite things about the fashion chapter. i was and i try to read but i don't know if we have time. >> they can read it, you can read it at home, that's the beauty of the book you get to read it yourself.

certainly there has to be a greater sense of urgency in the halls of congress, no? really isn't just all the halls. it is the halls on the left, our senate colleagues, charles, have sent many bills over to the house targeted, business specific bills, billions of dollars of relief and nancy pelosi just ignores it because it doesn't have a check for illegal immigrants in it. the democrats have got to get serious about helping the people who are in need and not their crazy wish-lists. billions of dollars to bail out cities, blue cities that have managed themselves so poorly? it is just not right. charles: well, there is no doubt that that number is going to go higher because those same blue cities with the highest unemployment rates are the ones who are shutting down taking the most draconian actions. the 59 billion cuomo said he needed a meant ago will probably be 75 b we're not talking billions. the key number will be a t, feels like it. joe biden says he wants this done immediately. he wants to be unifier, sticking with the $3.3 trillion christmas tree thing pelosi

influence and make that difficult it will be really interesting to see how that plays out in the halls of of congress right we'll have to see because by the actually did say that he would hold off a trade deal with an independent britain until 2022 in the case of briggs it and briggs it of course is taking place so we'll have to see if that actually takes place yeah and no it will be either way i think it's going to be a huge change of pace obviously key players like china russia you know how the rhetoric is going to shift with a potential president saying he will suffer and be something to look out for only. while you're watching us he international will have more on the election just off the break could join us then. this is a story of women women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know some. believe. out there. where nat is the person that. the cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. all the off 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough and it. will give women on death row. anybody who thinks that because i just won the electio

might nominate a trump supporting republican to his cabin cabinet, what would that do in the halls of congressuld that make republicans in congress feel better? or more likely to work with joe biden on legislative issues? >> katie, a few thoughts here. number one, barack obama had ray lahood as his transportation secretary. he didn't get a ton of support for his infrastructure policies or anything of that nature. i don't think this would get republicans to support him. further more you have to just look at the dialogue right now on the left over some of the appointments that biden is making or not making. bruce reed, a long time biden world insider under consider for office of management and budget. but some of the justice democrats and left parts of the party are rising up in anger over this. so you have to look at what people are saying would he nominate democrats. people believe, democrats believe, nancy pelosi says it, that democrats have a mandate to do big things. i don't know that the left would see it as spending that mandate to put a republican in the cabinet. i think you would see a

they created the revolution that roosevelt then took to the halls of congress for reform legislationor trust busting as we now know it. we know journalists as muckrakers, but roosevelt devised the term to criticize them. he was a genius. he was a genius about his image, about photographers. he was going to do a thanksgiving day proclamation and the photographer was delayed so we simply canceled the event until which time he showed up and interrupted a diplomatic meeting to do it. he became the darling of photographers and caricaturists. if he did not quite get the technological revolution going on, he was just a bigger than life figure who was made for this transformation. and again, reaching out to journalists he liked and giving them access was revolutionary. susan: you credit tr with things that are common for us today, watching the president and the press -- leaks, trial balloons, and swamping the press with diversionary stories. harold: he coined the phrase. swamping, one of his interesting techniques, and someone was going to make an announcement, he would put out a news releas

individuals and we have a number of women coming in, minorities, veterans that will be walking the halls of congress and i think this is a real way that we are in reinventing the party and bring in fresh blood, new blood, people that will be the opposition to alexandria ocasio-cortez and elana omar as a door to a cuban refugee, i tell your particular offended by the policies that they have been presenting, wanting to dismantle the u.s. economy and destroy capitalism, those of the freedoms and liberty, my parents came to this country as poor immigrants to pursue opportunity and i want to preserve the american dream and our great nation and so people like me and marie, salazar is also cuban descent, were gonna be out there taking them photo. charles: a shout out to her as well, a great accomplishment and she filled in a previous attempt. i've got less than a minute, i do want to ask as the numbers are scrolling on election night, i was shocked at how many votes try actually got new york, he wasn't close to winning but he had over 40%, is there a time where you think republicans could really win back t

of academic seminars and journals and popular magazines, to what lawmakers are saying in the halls of congress. so this is clearly one of the main points about this. the other thing that seligmann and others are pushing is that they are not trying to radically redistribute well. that's never been the goal of shifting the tax burden. i think we sometimes forget with the origins of our tax system are about. in some ways, i wear historiography, at least the current existing, i'm sorry, i'm thinking of different works ... it's this view that this was a lost opportunity. with this was co-opted. the income tax was co-opted by conservatives who really averted would could have been, we could have been scandinavia sort of the premise. we could have had this really radical change in this progressive era and we missed out. so it's really this kind of conservative ploy to kind of just silent the mantises -- masses. it's kind of the argument that horowitz and others have made. i think that's wrong because if you take a look at the primary sources -- yes, there were some people, it's not completely wrong, n

seminars and journals and popular magazines to what the lawmakers are saying actually in the halls of congress. and so this is one of the main points about this. and the other thing that they are pushing is that they are not trying to radically redistribute wealth. that's never been the goal sort of shifting the tax burden. i think we sometimes forget with the origin of our tax is about. in some ways, our historiography, at least are currently glistening. i'm thinking here in the work of a historian and another political economic historian. it's this view that this was a lost opportunity. that this was co-opted, the income tax was really co-opted by conservatives. we could have been scandinavian was sort of the premise. we could've had this really radical change in this progressive area and we missed out. and so it's really a conservative ploy, just kind of sign with the masses and will have this token in context. it's the argument that others have made. and i think that's just wrong. because if you take a look at the primary source -- there were some people that were not completely wrong. the

to pay moves from the halls of economic popular magazines to what lawmakers are saying in the halls of congress. this is clearly one of the main points about this and the other thing that seligman and others are pushing is they are not tried to radically pre droe do you say wealth. i think we sometimes forget what the origins of our tax system are about. in some ways our historiography at least what's the current existing -- i'm thinking of the work of morton who are owe wits as well as robert stanley who has also written about the rise of income tax, it's this view that this was a lost opportunity, that co opted, the income tax was co opted by conservatives who averted -- we could have been scandinavia is the premise, we involved this really radical change in this progressive era and we missed out. it's this conservative employee the silent masses will have this token income tax and i think that's just wrong because if you take a look at the primary source, yes, this were some people, nelson aldridge the famous conservative republican from rhode island who says that he's going to agree for the
