georgetown university senior yoritza aguilar is the first her family to go to college.ts from central america. she says professors of color have been crucial throughout her education. >> you feel comfortable asking them, hey, could i get an extension? could i get a letter of recommendation? you don't feel a sense of imposter syndrome. with a latino professor or minority professor, it's so much easier to approach them and sort of talk about your upbringing. especially if they have that same shared family experience, culture experience, language experience. my parents worked minimum wage jobs. i've gone to public school my whole life. daughter of immigrants. i'm going to get emotional. i'm sorry. >> if they see faculty that look like them, the message they get is that, i can succeed here. i can succeed in this field. >> reporter: early last year, yoritza was part of a group of student volunteers who helped the school hire two more latino professors in the history and american studies departments. now she wants to change the school's landscape even more, starting a petitio

a man in a van had been reported chasing two teenage girls in jessie's hometown of georgetown.r traced the van to a man named larry hall from wabash, indiana, a three-hour drive from georgetown. >> your heartbeat starting to pick up a little bit now? >> oh, yeah. thinking, this has got to be checked out. >> miller learned that hall was a gung ho civil war re-enactor, a pretend union soldier who traveled the midwest to fight fantasy battles. miller immediately drove to wabash to interview hall, who wasn't saying much. so miller showed him a photo of jessie roach. >> when i put the picture down, he flinched, raised his arm up, turned in his chair. and refused to look at the picture. >> convinced larry hall was hiding something, miller became obsessed with making a case against him. days later, back in illinois, miller turned up a huge lead. he found witnesses who vividly remember hall from a revolutionary war re-enactment in the georgetown area the very weekend before jessie was abducted. to them, hall stood out for his bushy muttonchops sideburns, but also for playing a soldier

and maureen corrigan, book critic for npr's fresh air and a professor at georgetown university.s nice to see both of you. glory, you want to start with some fiction? >> oh, wow. right now, i'm obsessed with caitlin greenidge "libertie." it's a great book, just full of rich historical detail. it's inspired by the first black doctors during the reconstruction era. and she takes us on this beautiful ride, learning about the young woman who is like trying to find herself full of great detail. also, when it comes to fiction, i'm loving, loving rom coms. so jasmine gilroy has a new book coming out, as well as tia williams, this book is called "seven days in june," and it is that kind of story where you feel like you're talking to your best friend and a little bit of cringing moments. but like a lot of heartfelt laughter and joy, it's a great title. >> brown: maureen corrigan, give us a few fiction novels? >> the writer i hope everybody will read, especially if they've never read her before is laurie colwin. laurie colwin died in the 1990s. she wrote five novels, two short story collec

the march will start in georgetown, texas, and make it to austin.eople, working to mobilize texas voters. also with me, reverend liz harris, cofounder of the poor people's campaign. great to see you both. reverend, first talk to us about the significance of bringing attention to voting rights in this way with a selma-style march. who are you trying to reach? >> we're trying to reach the entire nation. but including and especially the u.s. senate and the president. right now our democracy is in peril. we have five demands of this march. they are to make sure that we end this filibuster, that we restore the voting rights act of 1965, that we pass all the provisions of the for the people act, that we raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and we have permanent protections for all 11 million undocumented immigrants. and we're saying that we need to do this to save the soul of our democracy. and so folks all across texas are going to be doing this march from georgetown to austin to make our voices heard. >> beto, your sense if those lawmakers in d.c. hav

he's a professor of medicine at georgetown university. now professor really feels like things in some parts of the us just slowly starting to get back to normal and large part due to this huge vaccination campaign. so by this point, most people who want to get jobs have is vaccine hesitancy. what's driving the spikes? yes, i think so, i mean, you know, virtually all of our hospitalizations and deaths, virtually all are among vaccinated people and we have large packages on vaccinated people in a number of states tickling the south southern part of the united states in the south west. and that driving the cases in the hospitalization and the deaths. and i foresee that's gonna continue to happen because the delta vera, is so much more transmissible up to 200 percent more transmissible than the original source covey to. so how do you even begin to tackle this level of vaccine hesitancy when it has become so politicized? it really is politicize you, and i think we were getting to the point in the united states where we've done extraordinary we

and we have co-authors from northwestern and georgetown. so based on a series of papers published in peer-reviewed like economics and health policy journals to standardize the data set. so what did we find? so just a brief overview of the book is divided into first part during the free period. in texas is one of the states will have a comprehensive database. menus that to study the issues and then in part two after tort reform is enacted and then in part three but it's only one state. so national mall died on - - data studies some of the same questions we studied in part two and then part four is summary and conclusions i want the real issue that physicians are concerned with. marked by sudden and dramatic increases of malpractice and this is the percentage increase every major medical practice ensure at the beginning of the latest malpractice crisis. and you can see a dramatic increase talking 100 percent increase over a relatively short period of time and that causes real problems and then they go up by 100 percent so this is an average i

and so folks all across texas are going to be doing this march from georgetown to austin to make ours heard. >> beto, your sense, if those lawmakers in d.c. have been able to move the needle, and what type of support it is they are going to need on the ground back home. >> they're absolute heroes. when they broke quorum back in may to deny the republican majority in the regular session of the texas legislature, the attempt to pass voter suppression bills, not only did they galvanize the conscience of the country, but i have to think they helped get senator manchin back to the negotiating table. he went from a no on the for the people act, the major voting rights legislation before the senate, to offer a compromise that had major tenets of the for the people act in it. i think this latest act of courage, denying a quorum during the special session, and more than 50 members going to d.c., which is the one place where we can win this fight, is going to move us even further in the right direction. what reverend harris and bishop barber and the poor people's campaign are doing in texas is

democrats in texas, marching for a second day that started in georgetown, texas, and is expected to endarch, former texas congressman beto o'rourke, and bishop william barber, join me now. bishop barber, why are you marching? >> we are trying to nationalize texas, as in '65, to say we have to have federal protections of the we have to have -- end the filibuster. we have to fully pass all the provision of the true john lewis bill, the for the peoples act, the one he wrote before he died. when it's ready and written, we have to pass the restored voting rights act. we need $15 living wage. we need to protect immigrants. we've got to -- you can't litigate your way out of this. mobilize your way. i met with the texas legislators of the -- the other day through zoom. and they understand that, clearly. and what's happening is not just democrats. it's people of all races, creeds, and colors, and parties. 40 organization, my brother beto, who is down there, who said we would march from georgetown to austin. and then, on saturday, we'll have a massive rally. people will be invited there. we have

here's another, georgetown asking the students, are you proud to be an american?an no, i feel embarrassed being. >> not really, not most of the time, sometimes it's a little embarrassing. >> what is her to be proud about if you are white? >> i find them quite embarrassing. as i think of the mls man on the street, your thoughts on that segment? >> i would have taken the mic and bumped them on the head because i've been to georgetown and you are right, that's what you get. i asked illegal immigrant offensive term first they said it's so offensive, we should call them travelers but that's the indoctrination you get in these institutions and here is the goal -- when you sell a life at this country was founded on inequality, slavery and racism, that makes people believe the entire system is evil, corrupt and needs to be taken down. was going to do that? fixing of the system? democrats, obviously. they feel they have been successful in this great nation filled with hatred and they need to be in charge of controlling and managing it and that is all they want -- power. da

over 1000 more in georgetown. some sat in busy intersections, taunting police. some through trash or slashed tires. greta: lawrence roberts, you vote a book about that day. what did you learn about what that was like for the protesters? lawrence: i think what you are watching before was essentially the police version of what happened that day. they produced that film not long after the protest. it is a propaganda film. what it does not say is that the tax makes the police used and the nixon administration used turned out to be entirely unconstitutional. in the end, the federal courts throughout, based -- threw out every single arrest that was made that day and the subsequent two days after that. 12,000 people were taken into custody and kept in detention without charges. police launched a dragnet, were they arrested people that had been sitting in the streets and anyone who looked like they might have been a protester. they had long hair and were wearing hippie style clothing. they were swept up the first day . they had not been breaking any laws at all. that ki

let's bring in a professor of law from georgetown university law center. great to have you with us.is last stretch cake given the issues that remain? >> thank you so much for having me. this could take a while. the oecd has actually been working on this plan for several years with the 139 countries. they got agreement of 131 of those countries, and there's still a lot of steps to go forward. there is still the issue of whether or not more countries will agree, but after that, there's still technical details to be worked out so the oecd has acknowledged that more work still needs to be done between now and october and the oecd has said that there is not a plan for this to go into effect until 2023. and then after this goes into effect, the issue is how many countries really do implement this into their domestic lives so the oecd is not imposing a requirement that countries have a minimum tax. it is saying if you have a minimum tax, this is the form it should take. it should have at least 15% as the rate. the question is who implemented it and the technical details. where are we at ri

the best anecdote for this, i got accepted to georgetown. i happened to own a ford pickup. i was stuck on a narrow cobblestone road my first day of school. a lady in her mid life drove by me in a mercedes and through her window yelled "go back to the country where you belong." >> laura: what? >> if people come up with stupid ideas like this. i was hurting her because i drove a pickup in georgetown and she had to pass me on a narrow road. that was hurting her life. >> laura: might as well be burning a cross on someone's law if you have an american flag on a pickup and have more than 1.5 kids. that's a huge threat from the liberal elite. i don't think they're taking your truck any time soon. it's not happening. thanks, joey. >> thank you. >> laura: the moments you didn't see from biden and merkel's meeting and harry and meghan's story hits the small screen. raymond arroyo has that and more. friday follies are next. severe nausea. so bad you think you might just - vomit. if these statements describe you, and you've been diagnosed with gastroparesis, you might qualify for a cli

. >> coming up next, a discussion with georgetown university law professor rosa brooks, she detailed her experience as a reserve police officer, interviewed by houston police chief art acevedo, tangled up in blue, policing the american city. >> today i'm honored and happy to visit with rosa brooks, the author of an interesting book about policing and her experience in policing tangled up in blue policing the american city. rosa, thanks for being on and having me and i look forward to the conversation, but i've got to start off with one pressing question, what in the world made you leave the confines of the classroom, your home, and go on and get training to be police officer and hit the streets in washington d.c.? >> now, you asked my family that they would say insanity, some kind of mid life crisis, but i was just curious. that was probably the driving force. when i found out that d.c. has a reserve officer program where you're not just directing traffic or something, but where you can become a sworn armed police officer, i thought, no way. you know, that's crazy. you're going to gi

priscilla thompson is in georgetown, texas.ke in atlanta, and joining me, the ceo of the new georgia project. priscilla, democrats have a busy week ahead. what are they hoping to accomplish, what are you hearing from constituents, how are they responding? >> reporter: chris, texas democrats in d.c. are kicking off a week long summit, leading with labor leaders, legs tours from other states virtually to talk about sort of what's next in their fight against more restrictive voting laws as they look ahead. meanwhile, we are here in georgetown, texas, a half hour outside austin. an area represented by one republican representative. one of the democrats in washington, d.c. we wanted to talk to their constituents about what they make of this. take a listen to some conversations we had with folks this morning. >> i would like to see people come together on this, just make it easy to vote. make it secure. that's fine, let's not make it harder. >> it is kind of silly and sad, hope everybody can get along sooner than later. i think not i

according to researchers at georgetown university. the fear is the virus could mutate so significantly in these areas it could defeat vaccines. >> this rapid rise is troubling. >> to be clear, there will likely to continue to be an increase in cases among unvaccinated americans. >> reporter: a study published in the journal "nature" suggests getting just one dose of the vaccine offers little protection against delta. 140 million are unvaccinated, leaving 45% of the country at risk. it's a critical concern in places like missouri, delta is 73% of covid cases. dr. fauci saying again today those most vulnerable in low vaccination areas should take precaution. >> if you are an elderly person or you have a person with an underlying disease, you might want to go the extra mile of protection of wearing a mask if you are indoors. >> reporter: in texas a youth camp outside austin may become the nation's latest superspreader event, more than 100 confirmed cases. >> we believe this is an outbreak of the delta variant. >> reporter: at houston met

and -- corrigan, professor at georgetown university. it is nice to see both of you.ou want to start with fiction? >> right now, i am obsessed with liberty. it is a great book. full of ch historical detail. it is inspired by the first black docrs during the reconstruction era. she takes us on this beautiful ride learning about the young woman who is trying to find herself, full of great detail. when it comes to fiction, i'm loving rom coms. jasmine milroy has a new book, and so does tia williams. "seven days in june" is the kind of story you feel you are talking to your best friend. a little bit of cringing moments, but a lot of heartfelt laughter. >> give us a few fiction novels. >> the writer i hope everyone will read, especially if they have never read her before, is a lorry:. she died in the 1990's. she wrote five novels, two short story collections, and two collections of food writing. she is wonderful, smart, so funny, and droll, emotionally complex. two of her publishers are reprinting everything she wrote. so i would grab family happiness and any of her other

researchers at georgetown university have identified five significant clusters of unvaccinated people. primarily, in the southeastern u.s. stretching into texas and missouri. experts warn those areas could be especially vulnerable to outbreaks, and could allow new variants to develop. president biden's team changing its strategy, in recent days, focusing on a more targeted approach to get people vaccinated. >> now, we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood. and ofttimes, literally knocking on doors. >> one expert says it's time for the biden administration to consider vaccine mandates. >> the unvaccinated, also, affect the vaccinated. if you are a vaccinated person, but you are living among a lot of unvaccinated individuals, your chance of having a breakthrough infection increases. your chance of infecting others around you who are unvaccinated, also, increases. and by the way, the more unvaccinated people there are, the longer this pandemic is going to be. >> reporter: low vaccination rates, also, plaguing japan. where only 15% of the population has been i

now because texans are saying it is time for eight selma like march into asutin -- austin from georgetown, texas. and the following week, we are calling clergy and low-wage workers who will come to d.c. august 2, and we are going to engage and challenge. it does not matter. we cannot let the u.s. constitution be trumped by the u.s. chamber of commerce. we cannot blame all of this on donald trump. he is out of office and we still have this regression. we have to challenge every person to do what is right and establish -- our constitution that they swear on the oath, it is not state pink about justice, it is not say just give justice, it says establish justice. the inequities we have when it comes to systemic racism, devastation, the economy, and nationalism in health care is not just regardless of who it hurts. that is why the poor people's campaign is organized. host: for less than 20 minutes, we went to get to as many calls as we can. we have joe in pine tree state in the deferred, maine, independent -- in maine, independent. caller: thank you for taking my call. reverend, i am so impres

so georgetown university has been following the vaccination rollout since december and they've tracked a look at the five most significant clusters that they found. as you can see from this map, most of them are in the southeastern united states. actually, all of them. they go into southern missouri, but other than that it's pretty much the southeast and parts of texas. this is really a problem. if it's a lot of unvaccinated people potentially spreading to each other. and the more the virus spreads, the more likely we are going to get a variant that possibly could be resistant to the vaccine. let's take a look at the characteristics of these clusters. when you put all those five clusters together, that's 15 million people in five clusters. the average vaccination rate for the counties in these clusters is 28%. nationally it's 48%. you can see that's a very significant difference. there are a few -- there are some relatively big cities in these clusters. amarillo, texas, montgomery, alabama. but 92% of the counties have fewer than 100,000 people. so these are relatively small counties f

with me, former federal prosecutor georgetown law professor and msnbc contributor, paul butler.d to see you. thanks for joining us on this saturday afternoon. this is jaw dropping stuff, the former president would pick up the phone, call his acting ag at the time and say, declare this thing corrupt and i will take care of the rest. the fact a sitting president at the time would do something like this seems unprecedented. does this leave him vulnerable and open to any type of criminal prosecution from what you see? >> yasmin, there certainly is sufficient predicate for federal criminal investigation of former president trump. it is a federal crime to knowingly and willfully deprive a state's residents of a free and fair election, and it is another federal crime to conspire to prevent people from exercising their civil rights including the right to vote. the problem for prosecutors would be proving trump's criminal intent. did he really believe this big lie that he had won? if he did, that would be a defense. on the other hand, if he knew he lost and this was an intentional effort

over a thousand more hit georgetown. some sat in busy intersections taunting police. some threw trash or slashed tires. others pushed cars into the street, alarming innocent bystanders. >> lawrence roberts, you wrote a book about that day. what did you learn about what that was like for the protesters that interaction with the police that day? >> well, i think what you were watching before is essentially the police version of what happened that day. they produced that film not long after the protests, which, you know, let's face it, essentially, it's a propaganda film. what it doesn't say is that the tactics that the police used and the government used and the nixon administration used turned out to be entirely unconstitutional to suppress the demonstration. and in the end the federal courts threw out virtually every single arrest that was made over not just that day but the subsequent other two days after that, 12,000 people in all were taken into custody, were kept in detention without charges. and the police had launched particularly on the first day a dragnet wher

so we actually took a trip out today to georgetown, texas, about a half hour outside of austin, a place democrats, to find out what exactly voters were thinking. i want to play a little bit of our conversations with folks here. >> i think it's kind of silly and sad and i hope everybody can get along sooner than later. i think i'm not in favor of the voting rights legislation at all. i'm not sure that i'm in favor of decamping and the game of chicken that's going on in the statehouse. the word i come up with is "unfortunate." >> i feel bad that it comes to the point that you kind of have to put your foot down in such a way that they did. but, you know, if it starts to open dialogue, then maybe it was worth it. i guess history will show whether or not it was a good thing to do or not. >> reporter: and we did speak to some republican voters here who didn't want to speak on camera but said democrats ought to be here and that if it were republicans who had fled the state they would feel the same way. some folks even sharing some language that we can't repeat on television regarding their fee

unvaccinated are fueling the spike, with a third of adult americans not yet inoculated, researchers at georgetown say these five undervaccinated clusters of the country could become a breeding ground for new variants, putting the rest of the nation at risk. as pfizer and moderna both get closer to a booster shot, it's important to note that the fda will have the final say on if one is actually needed. pfizer also says they expect to release more data soon that shows a decline in vaccine efficacy six months after the second dose. peter? >> miguel almaguer with those breaking details. miguel, thank you. >>> now to america's withdrawal from afghanistan. president biden today moving up his timeline to pull troops out he is also defending his decision amid intensifying pressure, because as the u.s. leaves, the taliban is rapidly making gains kelly o'donnell is at the white house. >> reporter: today answering criticism and questions. the president defended his decision to end the war in afghanistan august 31st. >> i judged that it was not in the national interests of the united states of america to con

part of a response to this grass fire and shingle springs that included a prison crew based in georgetown neighborhood resident bill wild is on scene because firefighters went to the wrong location. at first he was glad a crew was there. those guys will be here all night. >> working hard. you know, this is great news and then a couple minutes later, the guy took off with the fire tracked with the chief chasing after him. the suspect led chp units on a slow speed chase through the dirt before trip down 100 feet of fencing and into the yard of a truck a company or inventory was stacked up to be actually landed on top of a couple of them. >> and drags it through the parking lot sparking slammed into one of our trucks leaving behind a trail of twisted steel. travis thompson was astounded at what he saw this morning before dealing his security video customers who had to endure long waits because of the steel shortage will have uo wait some more. we have product. that's damage. we have fencing that's our we have sacks of rocks that were set to go to customers. it's going to be a big hit to us.
