mehdi, i'm not going to ask you about djokovic.uld ask about you and how you ended up at the park hotel. you're only 24. you have been in 24 for almost, what, nine years? tell us how you ended up there. >> thank you for giving me the opportunity. i had a really long journey. a tragedy. lots of trauma, madness. i had such a sad journey since i came to australia. the first day i arrived july 2013 and basically they gave me a number and that was my entity until now. i have been in detention in a processing center. amy: for people who don't understand when he say offshore processing center, expla what happens in australia. where the islands refees like you are ke. >> the offshore processing center was a policy made by the authority to send people who come by boat after 2013, they send them to offshore processing center. though the majority of people, i could say 90% of people come that came about after july 2013, settled in australia. dozens of us areeft, which were so in detention and we don't know why. it could be for the sake of pol

i'm mehdi hasan. of the hundreds of people who have been arrested in the year plus since the january 6th attack on the united states capitol, the most important so far has been the arrest of this man. meet stewart rhodes the founder of the far right militia the oath keepers. he is a former army paratrooper who was honorably discharged after he was injured in a night parachuting accident. he then worked for libertarian congressman ron paul and went to yale law school. so far what would seem to be a kind of main stream conservative. according to the southern policy law center it's only when rhodes moved to montana that his beliefs turned a hard right away from small d democratic politics the justice department announced thursday it was charging rhodes and ten of his coconspirators with something called seditious conspiracy for their roles in the january insurrection. seditious conspiracy is a rarely used civil war era statute reserved only for the most serious of political criminals. i look at the court

i'm mehdi hasan. we just marked one year since the horrible, deadly january 6 assault on the united states capitol. and now as the insurrection rolls on, we are getting ready for the next national election. no, not the 2024 presidential election. the midterm congressional elections that happen later this year. it is 2022 already. and those elections could decide everything. like if republicans win the house, will they certify the presidential results? should a democrat win the white house in 2024? will they shot down any further congressional investigation into donald trump and his allies? and if you think there have been no meaningful voting reforms passed in the last year, imagine what happens if republicans regain control of the house, if not both chambers of congress. imagine what happens to voting rights then. and here is the kicker. what if that republican congress decides to install trump as the next president in january 2025, should trump lose that election? that's the scenario envisioned by p

>> it's a covid challenge, mehdi.look, i think we can celebrate, and i know you just talked about this, the fact that we haven't had this kind of economic growth and 37 years. i wasn't preschool at that point in time. that's exciting, we are growing at a faster rate of china for the first time in 20 years. that's good. we are on record low unemployment rates. that's good. but we also know is that we are fighting a pandemic. that's very much tied to inflation. it's impacting issues like supply chain challenges we are seeing around the world. and it's impacting also the psyche of the american public. and we know that's playing out in terms of how people feel, about the economy, and how they feel about their circumstances right now. >> you didn't mention the word inflation. you would include inflation in there as well? >> of course. i think it's important for people to know and understand, inflation is caused by a number of issues. and if we talk about inflation, we really mean the costs and how they're impacting people

i'm mehdi hasan. we talk a lot on this show about democracy being in peril, and after the week we've just had, make no mistake, american democracy is certainly in grave danger. but sometimes it feels like we're talking about all of this in an abstract way. so let's talk about specifics tonight. let's look at arizona, a swing state that helped joe biden win the presidency. a state that democrats hadn't won at the presidential level since 1996. a state that in 2020 got two democratic senators for the first time since 1952. so how have arizona's republicans responded to these democratic victories? by trying to make it harder to vote, of course. meet gop state senator kelly townsend, who as chair of the senate committee on government, has broad discretion over which bills get to advance out of that committee and which get to die a slow and painful death. she's behind four of the more than two dozen bills that arizona lawmakers have submitted to make significant changes to the state's voting system. a flur

i am mehdi hasan. as rioters clashed with police officers one year ago to storm the united states capitol, as they used barricades to break windows and reach the interior, members of the house and media, crouched in the gallery, clearly terrorized. on the other side of the capitol, in the senate, you had insurrectionists wearing tactical gear, holding zip ties. let's not forget the angry crowd, chanting to hang then vice president pence. as all of that unfolded on that bloody, violent and deadly day, other members of congress were hiding out in their offices throughout the capitol. among them, the young republican from wisconsin, named mike gallagher, the iraq war veteran had barricaded the door to his office, and on shielded his marine corps ceremonial sword, to arm himself, to defend his position should he needed to fight. as he waited, heaving went online to appeal to then president, his republican president to call off the mob. >> right now, i am sheltered in place, in my office, because we have pr

happy new year, mehdi. i don't want people to get complacent with this. complacency will translate into lives lost. it already has by hearing that omicron might be mild and this effect on hospitalizations and deaths may not be as severe. the sheer numbers alone with with less severity is still stunning. >> we played you speaking this week about testing and the likelihood of 1 million cases a day. that is a staggering number. what does it all mean if omicron is more like the flu as we are hearing as suggested by some? >> i'll use more simple numbers because it is hard for us to think exponentially. i think everyone is listening to a third less severe or hospital attack rate of 1%. we are thinking, that means there will be so many fewer hospitalizations. on the surface, that may seem true. if you have a virus that has an ineffective rate of giving it to one or two or three people compared to delta linked to one or two other people. being able to infect more people with the flu, even with a lower hospitalization rate, literally means we have higher numbers t

my point, mehdi, is that he announces it today. that's several months before the normal announcement date at the end of the term. and one can go forward and confirm even while he is on the bench. so i think it is calculated to give the democrats and biden all the time they will need without any kind of crazy thing happening in the senate and even if it does. i think in that sense, his ultimate decision and probably where he was trending back then was to make it straightforward and relatively easy for biden to have a successor. >> and harry, he kept getting asked that at the time, when are you going to stand down? he said, i don't want to die on the bench. a line that they didn't think was sustainable, because none of us know when we are going to die. but let me bring you in alexi, how big a win could this be for the democratic party and the white house? >> it's very similar to what phil was saying. i talked with several presidents, some of the most prominent women's and reproductive rights groups today. and they were excited about

>> it should, mehdi, and i am interested to hear bill's take on this. it's like, hey pal, you are going to have historic numbers of people voting by mail, including some of your folks. so let's fast forward into september and october as people begin to vote, especially towards election day. republicans are going to need a lot of voters who might have just shown up for the first time with trump, reliable voters. the message they are hearing is, why would you show up to help give mitch mcconnell the senate? he is a traitor. trump has also taken any number of barbs at mccarthy. marjorie taylor greene is not going to support mccarthy. the question is, would you get dems with that? there are some republicans running smart groups that may make sure they make a get an effort to get in front of republicans on this with ads. but you need the support of a lot of unreliable voters. on the other hand, trump is giving the message of, almost like, why bother? that's not going to be ten or 20 points. but in races that get decided by a point or two, that could matter.
