wendy weiser is the vice president for democracy at the brennan center for justice at nyu law.endy weiser joins me. nice to talk to you. let's begin with your assessment of the state of democracy in america right now. wendy weiser: we're really at a perilous moment in our nation's history. we are seeing, across the country, laws being put in place that make it harder for americans to vote in 19 states. we are also seeing attacks on the idea of impartial election administration, with a new trend of legislation and other efforts that actually make it easier enable partisan manipulation of the election administration process and of the counting of the votes. soledad: give us some specific examples. wendy weiser: so georgia is one of those states with this monster new law. it rolls back the access to mail voting in a number of ways, shuts down ballot drop boxes. it makes it harder to provide voter assistance, infamously criminalizing providing food and water to people who are waiting on line to vote, after we all witnessed seven and eight-hour long lines in georgia, people waiting

michelle go here in new york was an nyu graduate student at the staern school of business. i know that school under our auspices here, one of the top two or three business schools in the country. she had an amazing career ahead of her. life snuffed out and could have been prevented by mental healthcare of this perpetrator. enormous problem in new york. not just new york but across the country. has to be done by the federal level on down. that money hasn't been used even. we are talking about tests not going out. masks not going out. treatments that are stifled but also mental healthcare is invisible right now. we need it more than ever. >> harris: wow, invisible. i want to dig deeper and make i'm clear of the fact what was supposed to go to mental health and what the states were expected to do about the problems of homelessness. maybe that benchmark wasn't existing and we're hopeful about it but need to know what really happened. we need the truth now because it is getting worse very quickly and somebody needs to be held accountable for that. >> i agree. >> harris: thank yo

marc siegel, professor at nyu medical center. i'm harris faulkner in "the faulkner focus". you and i spoke moments ago and pointed out it got personal for rand paul and dr. fauci. all of the part of that aside, though, in terms of the drama there were some points to be made along the way of that conversation and others about where we are right now. so what are the highlights the take away for you? >> first with that conversation the one thing i didn't say before was that what senator paul is pointing out that is valid is were there people that were putting forth what the nih considered to be margin altherr piece and were they marginalized by fauci and collins. sometimes they became tomorrow's cures. throughout the pandemic there has been too much of that. with hydroxychloroquine and other treatments. now as you cut into me dr. fauci is talking about therapeutics we do have. there is a tremendous scarcity of them. how we get to these treatments but we don't have them out there. >> harris: why don't we have them out there? >> i think we don't have them out there because the a

morgan state university professor jason johnson, and nyu law professor melissa murray. welcome to both of you. jason, i want to start with that point about the economy, because as joe scarborough, a former republican congressman, was just saying, and others are looking at this, it seems like a great result for a first-year president to hit at the time where he also has the wind at his back on these other stories. >> usually, cash rules everything around a president, ari, but not in this particular case. people may not feel this economic growth the way the numbers seem to be playing it out right now. look, you can have all sorts of great things happening in the stock market. you can have all sorts of fantastic things happening with large businesses, but on people's day to day lives, they're still seeing gas prices go up, foodup, and they're still concerned about the safety of their job. this is no longer a raw numbers situation. joe biden's responsibility in part is to give people a sense of comfort and money alone won't do it. i can tell you quite frankly that most peop

but i want to go back to the law school question because as melissa pointed out, cheryl lynn went to nyu. but everybody else went to yale law school, there are a few far harvards on here. j. michelle childs went to i believe it was the university of south carolina. how important is -- would that kind of educational diversity be on the supreme court? >> from my perspective, it is very important because it explodes the myth that where you went to school is measured how smart you are. that simply is not the case. i have a friend from college, black, grew up low income, got into harvard, couldn't afford to go. went to howard, the other h that you school. to say he didn't go to harvard so he is not qualified would be silly. it would be equally silly to measure any candidate for the bench only by virtue of a pedigree that is about a kind of elitism and often about money. and sometimes network. because that is not about know how. >> melissa, last question to you. would you want to serve on the supreme court if asked? >> well, i don't know that i will be asked. again, it is just an honor to be c

joining me now professor of history at nyu, the author of "strong men, mussolini to the present." ruth, thank you so much for joining us. so conspiracy theorists and the right wing media made ashli babitt a false martyr to their cause. why is so much about january 6th manipulated and twisted into propaganda? >> because january 6th is the foundational event of this new insurgency. to have an insurgency you need momentum and they can't really wait till 2024 for trump to come back, for their leader to come back, so martyrs are very useful to, since facism a hundred years ago martyrs are very useful for keeping people engaged and enraged. and ashli babitt is perfect because she is at the center of this vortex of disinformation, qanon, and trump leader worship. trump isn't just a politician. he is a cult leader. ashli babitt died with a trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders so was fully into not just saving the nation but saving trump. i see january 6 as a kind of authoritarian leader cult rescue operation. >> wow. ruth, it is shocking to hear just how distorted truth can be

joining me now is a history professor at nyu and the author of the book, "strongmen" from mussolini to president. tell me about what you make of what's happening in ukraine. i ask you this in the context of the fact that russia has made claims about ukraine, and why it should be in there, and why it is there to protect its interests and russian speaking people in ukraine. this is a very familiar refrain that we have been hearing for over a hundred years throughout europe to justify wars and invasions. >> so democracy is the enemy for putin, and having a democracy on his doorstep like ukraine is absolutely intolerable. putin is the product of the soviet system and the only way he's going to feel safe is to kind of revive a version of the soviet client system with belarus, you see how schenkon is playing his game and supporting him. the goal is not to prevent ukraine from having nato protection but destroy ukraine unless it's going to be fully occupied. he occupied crimea in 2014. with strongmen, it's about making the nation great again, and in putin's version this is reviving a version

joining me now, nyu professor, melissa murray. happy new year to you.from last year, including allowing arizona to enforce restrictive voting laws. i want you to talk about the picture of this court. there are a lot of people who saw this court for exactly what it was the day amy coney barrett was sworn in. a lot of people are catching up now. and then specifically, what we can expect as we look ahead to the bigger decision coming on abortion. >> well, i think it's important to set out, first, alicia, that the supreme court, unlike the other branches, doesn't really have the authority to enforce its own decisions. in order to make us comply, we really have to believe that the court is legitimate, and that depends on the court not moving too far away from where the public s as you saw in the last package, the court's approval rating is at the lowest all time, 40%. it is facing an existential crisis. most americans view the court unfavorably and really believe that what the court is doing is not necessarily about interpreting the law but interpreting the

marc siegel professor of medicine at nyu langone. let's start with the fact checking that this administration's politicians against this add min istation are doing and dr. fauci against the white house. how is that going to help america? >> well, harris, it is not. the disagreements and the back and forth messaging doesn't help america at all. there is not a clear message. when the president comes out again against the unvaccinated, he is not being clear about what exactly he is saying. the facts are that in countries with a very high vaccination rate the severity of the disease is lower and spread is going on anyway. israel is a huge surge and portugal surge but high levels of vaccinations and hospitalizations and deaths are very low. three deaths yesterday in israel. in the united states we're seeing more severity and more hospitalizations. the fact they keep coming back to is you are 17 times less likely to be hospitalized if you have been vaccinated but they don't say that omicron itself is less likely to get you in the hospital.

let's turn to someone with a podcast himself, scott galway, nyu stern school of business. scott, great to see you. it seems like, you know, podcasts are an ideal tool for misinformation, and it's been happening under the radar i think for millions of americans. obviously a lot of people tune in. but i think a lot of people did not realize all of this was going on. why do you suppose that's the case? and what do you think can be done about it? >> good to be with you, jim. yeah, it's podcasts. i don't think people realize the impact podcasts are having. it's one of the few mediums that's growing. 40% of americans say they've listened to a podcast in the last 30 days. in addition, there's something -- it's a kind of an intimate relationship when you're listening to someone and have ear pods in their ears. and they're very influential. i would argue, though, it's more like traditional media. generally speaking they're on algorithms trying to enrage people by forwards you certain podcasts. so, and also i would argue that, jim, we're about to see more guardrails put in place, wh

and professor melissa murray of the nyu law school, she was a law school clerk before her nomination to the supreme court thank you all for joining me. melissa, let me start with you. you are the law professor on the panel. the atlanta journal-constitution writes this about the decision to appoint a grand jury. special grand juries, which include 16 to 23 people are rare in georgia. they can't issue indictments but they can't subpoena witnesses and compel the production of documents and information. how big a win is this for the district attorney in georgia? and how could this help advance our investigation? i know we've asked this question before but could trump be in real legal trouble here? >> i think it's a significant development for da willis down in georgia. one of the things a special grand jury can do is that it could focus exclusively on a single investigation as opposed to the general grand jury that has to investigate a wide range of different crimes. so this would be purely focused on the trump investigation, and again, it can't issue indictments. but he can subpoena wit

as we await word on the other officer who was moved to nyu hospital late yesterday, we are awaiting an update on his condition. and a funeral for the other officer to take place thursday and friday at st. patrick's cathedral. >> a lot of emotion in new york city. a lot of people thinking about the families of these officers. shimon prokupecz, thank you very much. >>> a top virginia gop ag fired top january 6th investigator. >>> and boris johnson ends all covid restrictions saying it's time to start treating covid like the flu. will the u.s. follow suit? (vo) subaru and our retailers volunteer and support charities all year long. and...through the subaru share the love event, we are proud to have donated over two hundred and twenty five million dollars to charity. you can get a car from any company, but none will make a difference like subaru. (jeff) thank you. (bonnie) thank you. (robert) thank you. subaru. more than a car company. this is the new world of work. each day looks different than the last. but whatever work becomes, the servicenow platform will make it just, flow. whether i

bush, and professor of history at nyu, the author of strong men mussolini to the present.lad to have both of you on. so peter, let's start with you. it is really shocking to hear that from a former speaker of the house. he is talking about lawmakers on duly appointed congressional investigations, on a duly appointed congressional investigation. give me your reaction to this kind of threat. >> yeah, thanks for having me on, don. i'd say it is shocking and it's not. you are right in the sense that a former speaker of the house would say that. it is not shocking because it's newt gingrich. you know, newt gingrich has been a malicious and malignant force in american politics almost since he got on the stage back in the 1970s and in some ways he developed the playbook that donald trump perfected. but look, american politics right now is in a ditch and it's in that ditch because it was dug in part by people like gingrich and he is pushing us into it. it's making everything worse. the other thing he said is, well, a couple things. one is that the january 6 commission, the people

natalie azar, msnbc medical contributor and nyu rheumatologist. we have tomorrow when we'll see many americans returning to work. also school after the holiday break. so with this surge right now across the country and omicron cases, how much will a return to normal routines perpetuate the surge? does it have to naturally run its course and last question, so you can answer them altogether, any advice than what anyone should already be familiar with when it comes to covid? >> well, you know, certainly, alex, i think that there is a possibility that we're going to see a significant amount of population immunity having had so many omicron infections in the last two weeks, let's say, and also preliminary data that having had omicron could protect you against infection with delta, which, if true, would be really quite amazing because thus far, the data does appear to show that omicron causes less severe illness. regarding returning to normal, you know, certainly i can think of multiple examples in my own orbit where my kids are going to school for half

we refer to it at nyu as an incidentalal covid-19.m allowed to tell you that 65% of people across our hospital system that have covid-19 are actually admitted for some other reason. they come in for various other reasons, we screen them and we find they're positive. so people are not shareing manifestations of the disease, but we're going to start learning about that. with president biden i don't engine his job. he's got a very difficult job to do as any president has,s but we really have to recognize we are not yet at the point where covid 19 is endemic. that means it's not yet permanently embedded in our ecosystem. we are going to have more episodes, and we prepare americans properly, they won't be as disappointed and crushed and exhausted as many of us even in the health care field are feeling. one of things we need to do, and he is moving on that, is accessing rapid deaths -- rapid tests. even as doctors, it's been hard to get that -- david: i was going to ask you about that, doctor. the pact is we -- the fact is we spent a lot of

according to the policing project at nyu school of law, as of october at least 18 states required officerso intervene or required law enforcement agencies to adopt policies imposing such a duty on officers, and at least 17 states required officers to report what another officer using excessive force. a small change, but the sort that can help police departments root out rogue cops and hold officers accountable. just this week a south florida police department opened and investigation into a veteran sergeant who pulled up to an arrest already in progress. bodycam footage shows the suspect already handcuffed in back of the police van when the sergeant is seen leaning into the vehicle and pointing pepper spray at the restrained ssuspec. a much lower officer, pulled sergeant, her superior, by the belt away from the suspect. the sergeant then turned on his own colleague and grabbed her by the neck. the whole thing caught on body camera. the police chief at sunrise pd setted junior officer who intervened did the right thing. following the department's own policies for a situation where there is

he was moved to nyu last night. as to the investigation, really, the big question is what ultimately led up to this. what was going on in the suspect's mind. we have yet to hear from police. we know police say he was armed with an illegal gun. it was a gun that was stolen from baltimore. now the city, of course, focusing on the number of illegal guns here on the streets of new york city. while the governor has announced this task force. but the mayor realizing that something needs to be done immediately. you can't wait for task force. you can't wait for guns that are going to come in in the future. the fact is there are too many guns on the streets of new york city now. so we expect to hear from the mayor around 2:00 this afternoon on what he plans to do to combat the violence and try and stop so many of the guns that are on the streets of new york city from getting into the wrong hands. so 2:00 we'll hear from the mayor and obviously we're waiting for an update on the condition of that other officer. >> i believe w

authenticator of "i alone can fix it" and white house correspondent for "usa today" and melissa murray of nyurk was a law clerk before her nomination on the supreme court. thank you for joining us, the attorney general of new york is trying to get testimony from donald trump and his children, what stands out, with there was back-and-forth between them today, are we likely to see members of donald trump's family possibly donald trump forced to cooperate with the attorney general of new york state. >> i don't think we'll see cooperation, i think what happens is attorney general james is not only pursuing fraud under new york civil law but he's participating with the manhattan da in a criminal investigation and lawyers have argued wearing two hats in a situation like this has somehow complicated her position. of course anything revealed in a subpoena in a civil case could then be used and shared in a criminal investigation and that of course is the worry. again, if they refuse to testify in this civil situation then if it goes to trial and there's a jury it could be used against them. so the tru

we have been pursuing at nyu, maryland, other programs that try to engineer animals to try to get morehave been seeing to try and fill the gap. every day many will die because there aren't enough organs to give them. the transplant teams do their best figuring out how to use them most effectiveively, the scarce supply they've got. . >> and if you haven't taken the covid vaccine, you are not a good candidate for the finite resource, they say. what do you say to the supporters of this man who say he is being punished? >> well, look, there is a big battle out there. we just heard of that. do you use covid vaccinations to prevent getting covid? this is not discrimination. this is not bias. what's going on here is the trance plant team is saying if you catch covid before we can transplant you, you will never get a transplant. you will be too sick. whatever the risks are, they are hugely outweighed by catching a case of covid, being in the icu and falling off the list. post-transplant, we have to fine-tune your immune system. we give you drugs so you don't reject the heart. it would be easie

senior fellow and editor at large for public health at kaiser health news and an epidemiologist at the nyu medicine and bellevue hospital. dr. gounder, the trends are obviously regional, but based on what you're seeing and fobs folks you're talking to, do you think we are in fact on the other side of this omicron peak? >> the way i would describe it when we talk about peaking, it's a little bit like you're going skiing and you go to the top of the mountain and you just hit the slope and are heading down the mountain. in new york we're a little part you are down the mountain. you're going to see very dense urban areas are going to peak earlier than more suburban and rural parts of the country. while places like new york have peaked and that your on their way down, it will take probably into february before the rest of the country follows suit. >> that's a useful analogy, by the way, the ski one. i never heard that one before. to what do we attribute this, doctor? is this the fact that so many people have just gotten it now that we're reaching what we used to call herd immunity? or more folk
