[music] welcome everyone, everywhere here with madeleine albright, 64th secretary of state and here to talk about her new book madeleine albright: hell and other destinationsand i just finished reading it and i look forward to having a conversation with madeleine albright about it .welcome to our broadcast today. >> great to be with you david, i enjoyed talking with you anytime. >> i am at the jefferson building in the library of congress, madeleine is at her home in the washington area. we had a long-standing relationship because madeleine and i were young staffers in the white house under president carter and i followed her career ever since then with great admiration so madeleine, this is her seventh book since you left as secretary of state so did you ever imagine when you finished as secretary of state first woman to ever serve as secretary of state that you would write seven books in addition to the other things we're going to talk about you done since you left as secretary of state. >> it never occurred to me i would write so many but i didn't think it was important for people w

madeleine, is to calling from granite bay, california. madeleine supports joe biden. caller: good morning. i am not in my residence in granite bay. i am in arizona. i am the daughter of a railroader in the great-granddaughter of a scotch immigrant to yuma, arizona and a mexican immigrant who was in los still partn it was of mexico. i am a retired hr director of a city and county in california, and i keep up with the need for more people to fill jobs and we need immigrants just as we always have, and i really get thet in arizona with all of umpers. how can people really support trump when we need people of all races to come into this country to fill jobs? we do not have enough people in this country. we have all these immigrants peeking the fruit and vegetables in california and working in the fields here. that is my question. why can't people be more supportive of immigration? guest: madeleine, i don't know and i entirely agree with you. is:: let's go to susan, who from tucson, arizona. from support -- who is tucson, arizona. susan support president trump. idea that s

madeleine isn't the only one who is terrified. if the republicans win their lawsuit, over a 130 -- over 130 million people with preexisting conditions like madeleine could be charged more for their health insurance, have benefits excluded or be ben nyeed coverage -- be denied coverage entirely. over 20 million people could lose coverage for medicaid expansion, the exchanges, or their parents' plans. insurance companies could exclude essential health benefits, countless other patients rely on like prescription drugs or maternity care or therapy or wheelchairs or much more. half the country could be charged more for health insurance just because they're a woman. seniors could face thousands more in health care costs with a return of the age tax and the medicare go nut hole -- medicare donut hole. people with disabilities lives could be dependent if they lose access to services that help them live independent lives or if insurance providers can discriminate on the basis of disability by denying coverage or charging more. and people w

>> for more on what all this means about the state of american democracy at large, i'm joined by madelein albright, our country's first female secretary of state, national council on election integrity, also the author of the book the troubling book, "fascism, a warning." >>> madam secretary, obviously there is international context here when we talk about the health and vibrancy of democracies. something we see across the world democracies of either degradation or ascension or battles over these kinds of things, election monitors, whether the courts are throwing parties off the ballot and such. in that context, what strikes you when you survey what we're seeing now in this country five days before the election? >> well, chris, it's good to be with you. but i agree with everything you said at the beginning. what strikes me is that we have lost the element of what democracy is about. the rule of law, the importance of a free media, not a situation where one group is made to hate the other one and sees them as the enemy. and basically dishonesty about so many various aspects, and voting is

september when the talks began and got underway, at the time initiated by the former secretary of state, madeleine albright, the atlantic council's member of the international advisory board, she initiated a statement. and over 100 and former heads of state, prime ministers, foreign ministers among many others issued a statement on the role of women in the peace process. and i would like to just share with you a few words from that statement. it went on to say that we called upon all relevant, national and international actors to pursue a peaceful, stable afghanistan by ensuring women's full participation in the process. after 40 years of conflict, these may finally be an opportunity. the international community has an obligation to assist with ensuring that the peace is durable and there is opportunity that isn't squandered. very significantly, the statement goes on to say that with the peace process underway and the international community should prioritize women's meaningful inclusion in order to help obtain the long-term security goals we have been working towards for decades. we have seen mea

them than to our own people and our system of checks and balances. >> former secretary of state, madeleine albright, always a pleasure to have you. thank you very much. >> good to be with you, chris, thank you. >>> tonight, any attempt to contain the coronavirus, new reports the white house is back to pushing herd immunity as a solution. why that is not only a failed strategy but a deadly one, after this. eally hurt. then i started cosentyx. okay, thanks... that was four years ago. how are you? see me. cosentyx works fast to give you clear skin that can last. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. i look and feel better. ask your dermatologist if cosentyx could help you move past the pain of psoriasis. working, parent

dramatic change in attitudes because madeleine who doesn't have a very good we're working relationship i mean they both have to deal with the geopolitics but all such i mean as a major investor russia has literally 10 times more companies working in russia than any other european has more than all the others put together. and if that relationship changes if. it's like now we're going to do it here as an e.u. entity rather than german russian and say that's amazed change and that's a major blow to russia i think they not only wheezing stories a very particular kind of story because it falls into a very special category for me that characterized by 2 features why that is extreme visibility everybody has heard about it and the 2nd one is very little no ability there are very very few established facts and the most critical data this case now all these test results i'm being held by germany the test results and the formula of the allowed to poison that being held by germany even though one would think that one of the most revealing things would be to compare the test results that not only

generous nation we are an immigrant nation and we're refugee nation albert einstein henry kissinger madeleine albright all refugees to the united states and our tradition really for a half a century is that we take in 60 to 70000 refugees a year we've taken the greatest number of refugees of any country we've taken up to a 1000000 immigrants a year and make them citizens and they strengthen our country refugees and immigrants make us demographically younger and you want to have a big workforce and the younger population to pick to earn to be productive earn the wealth that pays for senior citizens and of course it infuses our economy with talent if you think about the fact that 3 of our 4 biggest tech or 5 biggest tech company tech companies are run by an indian immigrants to the united states it's a powerful force so to see donald trump close the doors on immigration. he's imposed a religious means test he doesn't want muslims coming into the united states that's un-american to feel like that instead it's been a lot of attention in the press to the plight of refugees and the president's esse

congresswoman madeleine dean, thank you forjoining us from pennsylvania. in this tweet, by the way, has just pennsylvania. in this tweet, by the way, hasjust come pennsylvania. in this tweet, by the way, has just come out from the president and the last few minutes. will be back on the campaign trail soon. the fake news only shows the fa ke soon. the fake news only shows the fake poles. it looks like president trump started the day tweeting, 18 tweets in the space of half an hour, in all caps, and is ending the day tweeting and is anxious to get back on the campaign trail, but we have been hearing, of course, that he will have a certain period of isolation that he still has to go through. let's go to ron christie, republican strategist, former adviser to president george w bush. i think president bush has spent time in walter reed. here is president trump leaving walter reed, flying back to the white house, do you think and we are talking about the politics of this... i am sure you're going to want to wish the president well as well. do you think this chan

would replace warren christopher as his secretary of state and it came down to richardholbrook and madeleine albright . clinton was leaning towards holbrook because he said he's brilliant. he has a great mind . he knows more, he's relentless. hillary clinton wanted her husband to pick the first female secretary of state which way decisively but in the end clinton said to al gore, i don't think holbrook has the self-awareness to keep these kinship from becoming toxic. that was clinton's shrewd analysis of holbrook's character. holbrook understood the person across the table whether it was slow but on milosevic or bill clinton. he did not know himself very well. he couldn't see himself. he couldn't see himself as others were seeing him. it was a kind of lifelong blindness to his own flaws in his own character that i think was a fatal flaw. and it meant he couldn't negotiate but when there was an obstacle that lay within himself, he didn't know how to get around it and that was what undid his relationship with barack obama. holbrook was driving obama crazy with his lecture he and flattering and

unless you are liberal and that's the same message that hillary clinton and her campaign sent in 2161 madeleinelbright said there was a special place in for women who don't support clinton. it's the same message that joe biden is sending to black voters, that you aren't black if you don't support him. so if you don't bow down to the altar of progressivism, you don't count to the left. >> tucker: they clearly feel all that way but why wreck the girl scouts, it seems like it's kind of a sweet group. why are people putting up with that? >> this is what i think is so ironic. all these people right now .2 trump as a problem but they say why is america so divided? you look at the nba, you look at the girl scouts, everything is poisoned by progressive politics. so that is why we are so divided because you are essentially shutting out half of america from the equation and that's a problem. everything is tainted in america with politics and partisanship and we can't have anything nice anymore and it has ruined all the fun. >> tucker: politics does poison everything. it would be nice to have some sincere

joining me now, pennsylvania congresswoman madeleine dean a democratic member of the house judiciarynd financial services committee. welcome back. good to see you. get to the "washington post" you know points out that the battle for pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes could well continue beyond election day with a growing list of balloting disputes and lawsuits setting the stage for that if the race is close for a contested election rem jisainis of the florida drama after the 2000 election. what do you hear from local officials and any serious concern about chaos? >> well, thank you for having me on, alex. good to be with you and what i've said is, pennsylvania, i believe, will be the keystone state again. i think pennsylvania will deliver very strongly for vice president biden and senator kamala harris. i am not concerned over chaos with the exception of what this president might try to do. but i have been out in my district, people are enthusiastic. they are asking for mail-in ballots in record numbers. almost a quarter million right here in montgomery county, requests for mail-in ba

let's begin with pennsylvania congresswoman madeleine dean, ed rendell, michael steele, and "washington post" national political reporter and pennsylvania native robert costa. thanks to all of you. robert costa, let's start right here in pennsylvania with you, a big picture of this race, this date. it's so critical for both campaigns. how are the candidates and the campaigns approaching the final stretch? >> andrea, you're a hero to many people in philadelphia for the part of your career spent there, you're still a favorite in the streets of philadelphia. i'm glad governor rendell is with us because his ability to win as governor after being mayor of philadelphia shows how important it is for biden so many years later. he has to have a strong turnout in philadelphia, better than secretary clinton did in 2016. he needs to eat into that quiet support for trump in the suburbs around philadelphia that we saw in 2016, because president trump may still have enormous turnout in western and central pennsylvania. so going to scranton, northeastern side of the state, getting the democrats back, m

sarah madeleine director of public fairs was not able to be here today. we're joined by beverly eng who is the deputy director. she may chime in. i'm lucas tobin, i'm a.d.a. coordinator. we have heard from the disability community both before and during covid with the concerns with the j.f.k. road closures and the impact it's having. rec and park providing for everyone. part of that access is also and what sarah alluded to, part of that is also making sure that people have access to the information they need in order to get to the park destination if they are coming by vehicle or need to find parking or need coming out by paratransit. we've heard issues of people couldn't find the right route to the park. as sarah mentioned, we've been working together alongside m.o.d. and m.t.a. to address these concerns that the disability community has been raising. during the covid street closures, there were impacts before the covid street closure. they impacted j.f.k. obviously and sarah mentioned the accessible parking on j.f.k. and as far as those accessible parki

. >> caller: hello, my name is madeleine boyd, good afternoon, honorable supervisors. i would like to oppose the opposition to this appeal. on behalf of my friend who lives close to the development and cannot call due to working obligations. living in san francisco is expensive and i point to examples like this. 1826 grove street is a small number of objectors putting their own interests and fear of change against the good of our city and the needs of its people. i wish i didn't have to call in to support every housing development. i wish i could trust the right thing to get done. i also would like to say that i'm lucky enough to be a san francisco property owner and i speak in favor of this development against the ceqa appeal. and housing needs to be more affordable and we need more houses. also ronald regan's ceqa has been used more than it has been done to protect the environment. the planning commission has done its job and the ceqa appeal is a last-ditch effort to block this development. supervisors, you are just as concerned about the city's housing crisis as i a
