richard's symptoms worsened.er 7th when he watched his friend, joe biden, go over the top in the electoral college and be declared the apparent winner of the presidency by all the major news organizations. then, when we heard richard was admitted to vancouver general hospital, we all sent him upbeat messages and then shared very worried messages with each other.

and that brings me to the third person, that is richard sobel. richard was 29 and 1966. bright, ambitious, intense. totally out of place in new orleans. he was jewish of new york city. third is class at columbia law school part had ever really spent time in the south's early nothing deep south. in 1965 eval tear his vacation days to take civil rights cases when he was at a law firm in washington d.c. when he was down there he caught the bug. in 1966 he quit his fancy job still wanted the nation's most prestigious law firms and take civil rights cases in louisiana. he was part of a small army of lawyers who came down to enforce the hard-won for the civil rights movements worth pausing for a moment to think about what that means. and how many of you i assume had not ever thought about that before, i know i had. starwood talbot civil rights movement usually begins with brown versus board of education i have a dream some alabama all that stuff and 64 and 65 respectively hope that sounds familiar. maybe we mumble something about sanitation workers or black power or other thin

back to you, richard. richard: thank you. great. let me go to you and you can answer that question but i want to pull something out of that sue -- andk jeh and that is how a variety of national security issues has been handled. saw through the obama administration into the trump administration is criminal prosecutions in particular, the indictment of chinese nationals. sense -- do we believe this deters the activity? are there other implications we should be aware of? is this a twill in our -- a tool in our toolkit? is it something we do on top of other more potentially consequential carrots and sticks? efficacyo you see the of that going forward into a biden administration? ms. cordero: the use of criminal prosecution and bringing these major indictments against individual officers or foreign in major involved cyber attacks against the united states is a through line from the obama in ministration into bashedmp administration obama administration into the trump administration. it is one line of activity that has been relatively con

the idea plays directly into richard hack's dream. i was certain that troy was sincere with his idea about bringing, you know, romance back to movies. narrator: to negotiate the necessary land deals, stratos gets in touch with high end real estate broker jeff goldman. goldman: i had my doubts, but what enhanced his credibility is the fact that richard hack was so deeply involved in all of his plans and richard hack is a verifiable person. one time, we were out at dinner and richard says to me "turn on '60 minutes' on sunday night. i'm going to be on '60 minutes.'" and i turned on "60 minutes," and lo and behold, there's richard hack. narrator: goldman dedicates a year and a half to stratos' proposal, putting aside other income-producing projects. and then just as the deal is about to close, stratos pulls out. and jeff goldman, who feels used and burned, thinks he knows exactly who troy stratos is. he's the greatest con man, in my opinion, that ever lived. narrator: but richard hack still has faith in stratos, and in 2004, he gets a ph

everything the opposite of richard holbrook. think of a single move he's made that holbrook would have agreed with and vice versa. he would have been writing columns for the post and denouncing the isolationism of america first and talking about the importance of the transatlantic alliance and nato and our allies in asia. during the pandemic i think that he would have been a brilliant organizer of other countries to find a cooperative response. that is the kind of thing that he excelled at. he put hiv aid hiv-aids as an ie before the security council, so he understood the disease could be a threat to the national security, but i think that he wouldn't have known how to function, social media would have brought out the poorest qualities. the seducing of reporters that he excelled at that so easily done and matters so much anymore i think that it would have been inalienable for him had he felt as if the golden age was gone. >> he's watching closely what's going on. >> i think he finds the trump world maddening. he is tearing down

richard nixon needs those votes. this is the moment when the republican party starts to reach out to what was traditionally a democratic working base. it was a base of white ethnics that had been part of the new deal coalition in the 1930's. we tend to think of working-class whites as being democrats. they are only democrats for about 30 years. nixon understands that democrats want security. we talked earlier, social security, different programs. people want security. they are defenders of the new deal social safety net. there aren't wallace republicans -- democrats, old democrats from the democratic coalition. those people want to keep the new deal. they are not interested in republican economics as they are being described. a syndicated columnist later says his definition of american conservatives -- americans are conservatives, what they want to preserve is the new deal. what do they want in this new deal? he is not there anymore, wallace's american independent party calls for increases in national healthcare, and

richard: well, let's start with climate change.sly shown real leadership in this space, in the greendale -- and the green deal is another example of it. the u.k. certainly doing its bit. we have seen china really commit to net zero. biden has said what he's said. we will have to see how this plays out in the u.s.. if biden -- if the blue wave had actually happened and he had had full control of both congress and the senate, it would have been an easier path for him. if he does not get the senate, he will need to do this on a cross party basis. there is a lot that the president can do without congress, you know, through regulation, through appointments of personnel. clearly, the u.s. is moving in that direction. but i think the important point is that the world is obviously going to be able to move more quickly if it has good policy support and good government support. i do not think the world is going to wait for that. you see society broadly supporting the move in this direction. you see capital flowing towards esg friendly produc

there's so much to say about richard holbrooke. his area was foreign-policy and understanding the world. people talk about what a brilliant, another version of henry kissinger. how did you see him in his take on the world as a diplomat and how did he combine that with getting things done in washington? >> so a few things. first of all there are some overlapping themes here between peter's book in mind. one is ambition that one is tennis. holbrooke played a ton of tennis and i've a feeling that he rose up through the hierarchy in saigon and then in washington by whipping people on the tennis court or by being so competitive they have to respect him. first it was anthony lake who was his close friend and his peer in the foreign service in saigon and it remained that way for 10 years and their friendship mysteriously disintegrated with great consequences for them and for u.s. foreign policy later when they were working together on bosnia under bill clinton. then he started playing tennis against westmoreland and maxwell taylor in saig

richard: that is right. we have 11 vaccines currently in late stage critical trials right now, and the great thing is we have different types of vaccines across those 11. the dharna vaccine and the biontech vaccine, they are mrna vaccines, as you say. this is when you take a protein on the virus, and you attach it to another virus, and that gets whichtry into the cell, provokes the immune response. there are two other categories of an inactive vaccine and a protein-based vaccine, so this is giving us lots of opportunities for different types of vaccines, all with slightly different advantages and disadvantages. the good thing about the vaccine is you do not need -17 degrees to store and protect it. it will be much easier to distribute, and that will be good for the global distribution. francine: richard, what do you think is the biggest challenge we face right now? is it misinformation? i do not know whether there should be another tunnel of information, which means everybody understands what these vaccines

you see them on the screen, they are george packer whose latest book "our man, richard holebooke andf the century", and peter baker, this fall "the man who ran washington the life and times of james a baker iii", two good books about two complicated and fascinating men. they were born a decade apart. baker in houston in 1930, holebooke in manhattan in 1941. baker a republican trained as a lawyer. holebooke, a democrat, foreign service officer. student of foreign policy. their lives took very different trajectories, but they both ended up in washington where they became major power players. peter, picking up on that, this was 0 m a man with great ambiti and that was even before he came to washington. >> it was. he was part of a houston aristocracy. his family basically built modern houston. he was expected of great things. he had a father who impressed on him the legacy. one thing they were not meant to do was politics. he was told we don't do politics and that's at the time he finally breaks away from his father's, you know, domination over his life and his world basically changed at

what were richard holbrooke's strengths and weaknesses? >> i think not having a dog in that fight was crucial because it said something about james baker's worldview and his foreign policy. it was a slavic struggler we could never understand in no this is getting involved in. yet a cursory effort to negotiate with the milosevic and other balkan pairs. the beginning of the war he botched it. bill clinton inherited it at ampere of the stage and bosnia. not baker's finest hour to show something about the limits of his realism. the difference is holbrooke had a passionate sense that america had to be involved in the world. if we let that country bleed it would essentially become our problem and would possibly rupture the transatlantic alliance. it was not of no consequence. we exited at the dog in that fight and that less holbrooke committed himself to that and he did it in a way that shows he really didn't care about other countries and people and places whose names we can't pronounce who are suffering in civil war and as refugees and floods

richard walker thank you so much both of you well the u.s. presidential election remains too close to call as we have been highlighting with a vote counting continuing in key states that will decide who wins the white house so far neither president onil trump nor his democratic challenger joe biden have clinched the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the southwestern state of arizona is the latest battleground state that has been called it is 11 votes that are going to go to joe biden making it the only states to have flipped party since the 2016 election votes they're still being counted in the decisive midwestern industrial states including michigan with its 16 electoral votes which trump won the last time around. and and as we can see 80 percent of the vote now there counted donald trump in the lead and in wisconsin with 10 electoral votes at stake we can see right now who is pulling ahead in that state and it is indeed joe biden but just by a very very very slim margin there with 95 percent of the vote counted the biggest prize sti

richard nixon's pardon covered every day of his presidency.d trump's pardon will surely use the nixon pardon as a template but will cover a much longer period of time in donald trump's pass. president nixon's son-in-law edward cox was, quote, worried about the president's mental health. the president was not sleeping and had been drinking. the man couldn't take it much longer. the president had been acting irrationally. the president was up walking the halls last night, talking to pictures of former presidents, giving speeches and talking to the pictures on the wall. and then there is the most memorable scene of all in the final days on the night before president nixon announced his resignation to the world, he was alone in the white house with secretary of state henry kissinger. quote, the president broke down and sobbed. nixon got down on his knees, kissinger felt he had no alternative but to kneel down, too. the president prayed out loud. he was weeping and then still sobbing nixon leaned over and struck his fist on the carpet crying "what

walker is with us richard is our chief international editor and richard i'd like to turn to you and 1st ask for your reaction to what we just heard the u.s. president saying also your reaction to the results that michael has been presenting if you look at both of those messages it appears it appears as if the republicans might be busting through without blue wall those key states of pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan can we assume that or is that still too early. too early to say i mean those crucial states that we've been talking about tonight really do seem to hold the key to this election and what makes it particularly. particularly kind of tense situation is that. the voting a lot of the voting particularly on the democratic side it is assumed took place in the form of voting in the weeks leading up to the election even either by post or in person and donald trump here is essentially trying to stop the vote count in those states because he sees that in the vote tally on the day it looks like he's ahead but those states all have a process where they only start counting those vot

you know that governments were holding their breath also to see what happens after these 4 years richard you're going to stick with us but 1st we're going to have a check on the state of the race you're watching special coverage of the u.s. elections the race between the incumbent president donald trump and democratic challenger joe biden remains tight despite millions of uncounted votes trump appeared to claim victory prematurely telling supporters quote frankly we've already won he also accused opponents of major fraud on the nation and vowed to contest the election in the supreme court biden meanwhile addressing supporters in his home state of delaware said that it wasn't up to republicans or democrats to call victory but for the american people he urged patience. look at the results my colleague michael is standing by. a look again at how it's going and some of the night's a key battleground states is america waits with bated breath a.p. has called arizona with its 11 electoral college votes for joe biden let's take a look at the rest of the map here we see in the middle again most o

and it came down to richard holbrook and madeleine albright. and clinton was actually moving towards holbrook because he said he's really brilliant, and he has a great mind and knows more, is relentless. hillary clinton wanted her husband to pick the first female secretary of state which raised decisively but in the end, clinton said al gore i don't think holbrook has the self-awareness to keep kinship from becoming toxic. this was clinton's very shrewd analysis of holbrook's character. holbrook understood the person across the table brilliantly whether it was milosevic or bill clinton. he didn't know himself very well. he couldn't laugh athimself . he couldn't see himself as others were seeinghim . there was a lifelong blindness to his own flaws in his own character that i think was a fatal flaw. it meant he could negotiate, but when there was an obstacle that lay within himself, he didn't know how to get around and that was what undid hisrelationship with barack obama . holbrooke was driving obama crazy with his lecturing and talking about vi

thanks so much our chief international editor richard walker. richard was saying we do have some reaction here from some german politicians urging caution over the u.s. election the economy minister here in germany says it's important for the contestants to accept the results once every vote has been counted earlier we spoke to schmidt of the s.p.d. partners in germany's ruling coalition he dismissed president trump's claim to have one. statement. even no been counted yet and a good democrat needs to wait for the final tally before declaring themselves the victor of an election it clearly shows president trump's deep disdain of democracy and democratic procedures. after 4 years of america 1st many here in europe had hoped to wake up to a different and clearer outcome germany's know what can of the bonus talks foreign affairs committee with this reaction germany he says is not prepared for 4 more years of working with trump a 2nd election victory would challenge us fundamentally in a way in which we are not prepared. and in scotland the 1st minis

richard: thank you for attending today's researcher talk. i'm richard mcculley. today's talk is the last of 2014. a year when we've really been treated to some splendid presentations by some of the center's most significant researchers. that said, we end the year with a bang by hosting today's guest who will discuss his significant and timely book, "making the modern american fiscal state: law, politics and the rise of progressive taxation, 1877-1929." published by cambridge university press. we will resume this talk on january 15 when we host rebecca edwards, professor of history. her talk is titled, "sex on the frontier: fertility in america's antebellum empire." rebecca edwards is a very eminent historian who would you would expect to get quite but a presentation of that title, i think this is something they cannot be missed. professor mehrotra is the associate dean for research, professor of law. a fellow at indiana university. he received his j.d. at georgetown university law center and his ph.d. at the university of chicago. he has served as the co-director

richard haass was director of policy planning in george w.ush's state department, now the president of the council on foreign relations. sam, you did it both ways. you transitioned in from bush to obama and then you transitioned out as u.s. ambassador to the u.n. handing over the reigns to nikki haley. how damage somethiis this where president is refusing to initiate any transition at all? >> it's thoroughly unprecedented and it is reckless in the extreme. i cannot tell you how useful the briefings were that we in the incoming obama administration, that we received from the out going bush administration. we learned about, for example, what the status of conditions on the ground were in afghanistan. that helped inform incoming president obama as he thought about how to launch his afghan troop review, which was one of the first things he had to do alongside with dealing with the global economic crisis. we learned about threats to u.s. embassies and diplomatic facilities around the world. that's something the incoming president absolutely has to

richard, how did and richard li. how did you come to this?who else is living through this. there are over 5 million students living as care givers and taking care of somebody else. that study you just quote and shows that a majority of them need more help because they live these double lives going to school and coming home and doing a completely different job. >> monte, why did you want to highlight specific care givers? >> we take care of military families and make their homes from the ground up. we said it enough, thank you for your service and turn it around and don't do anything about it. richard ra richard really point the finger and those giving back so much is the kids, missing out their teen years for what they do. that's not just saying thank you for your service, it is dedication. richard, how did you find the suspect of this doc? >> as we started the process four years ago, it was reaching out to communities across the country and there are so many of them that are going through this. and so i try to find those that were going thro

>>> we are back with samantha power and richard haass.ave a terrific essay in foreign affairs in which you talk about the sub title of the section which i particularly like is called "america the incompetent." and what you're talking about is how difficult it is going to be for the united states to corral others when what they are witnessing is a kind of an extraordinary display of america's incompetence at being able to handle the pandemic. how deep do you think that problem is? it seems unlikely you can turn a switch and make people think america is the city on the hill again. >> well, it will take time of course to restore the valuation of expertise within government agencies, to recruit people who bring, let's say in the state department, language expertise and regional expertise, since so many diplomats have fled in the environmental agencies and science-based community within the government. but there is a lot that the commander in chief can do. and what i highlight, for example, is what can be done in the realm of global vaccine di

s chief international editor richard walker richard house the international community reacting so for to joe biden's what we've had statements from many leaders around the world now here in europe the statements came in very quickly actually off the cool was announced last evening european time let's bring up a few on the screen just to have a quick look sir i'm going to machall she was among the 1st to give her congratulations to joe biden saying kind of wishing the best of luck in every success and indeed in the german original she even used words like heartfelt which was kind of striking because if you remember back 4 years ago when donald trump one statement off of that was very very frosty and that was a bit of a taste of the rather poor relationship to come between the 2 of them if we move forward perhaps a man who i might call also offering congratulations so you know getting this from a lot of european leaders really seeing joe biden someone who's much more on that wavelengths in terms of values than donald trump boris johnson the u.k. interesting case here 1st answer among th

you wrote a biography and richard nixon. now a lot of lot of sort of the meat of the modern frame of "the folly and the glory"'s donald trump. i'm wondering is a historian who taught deeply about these two men, two of the three presidents who have i guess four presidents who faced impeachment. what stands out to you and patty see the mouse and different and as of the same. tim: there is a line that runs from richard nixon to donald trump. and that linus roy combs. john mccarthy's counsel during the carthy time. as protective, and it was against stiff competition possibly the most crooked lawyers in the united states for any years. was utterly immoral and ruthless. and in some of that ruthlessness, into both richard nixon and donald trump who he also canceled. for the last decade. there's a shamelessness in the work of roy combs. and interviews the political lives of both richard accident donald trump. eight shamelessness and recklessness. garrett: do you see them, will how do you see them as different . sort of what, which o

for more on that i'm now joined in the studio by did use chief international editor richard walker richard to trump supporters seem desperate have we heard any reaction from the trump campaign itself you know all the time campaign is sticking to its message that they want to challenge in the courts what has been going on in many of these states where they they claim that there are a irregularities but they haven't really saval produced any evidence to that extent i think is particularly interesting is look what they're communicating under the radar to trump's kind of most loyal supporters now since covering the last u.s. election in 2016 i've been on the mailing list for trump supporters in the u.s. so i received these e-mails that are going out to his bosses all over the country and overnight in european time from loss yesterday to today i counted in the space of 9 hours 14 e-mails coming through so essentially kind of spamming people at the moment with this kind of thing we've got a few examples here so here for example subject line we need to keep pushing a fair official election defens

s chief international editor richard walker richard good to see you again you were in the u.s. covering the election 4 years ago what's different about it this time yeah well i mean i think there are 2 main things that i would pull out there terry the 1st of all is the obvious one is the affecting the entire planet at the moment that is of course the pandemic and this is had a massive impact on both the nature of the campaign you know i mean to american election campaigns usually this kind of traveling circus with 2 rival traveling circus is huge numbers of a vent in a fence where people want to go and meet the candidate and really almost like a kind of a celebrate every atmosphere on both sides obviously that's been massively toned down you know the number of real in person events taking place particularly on the democratic side on the scale with them has been really scaled back but also in the aspect of the coronavirus kind of putting into even sharper relief the fact that this election is a referendum on the presidency of donald trump which it was inevitably going to be off

richard: i agree. china is in the inbox and will be for president as for the eye can see your the brain can imagine. it is one of the structural challenges, conceivably an opportunity of the 21st century. as a result there is no urgency to get it right the first couple of months. the contrast is with covid we may not think of a pandemic as a national security priority but it is exactly that. unless we get it under control at home we will not have the bandwidth to do much of anything else. it will hold back the economy. i think that becomes the priority. it also has real foreign policy dimensions, the question of the u.s. getting back in the world health organization, i think that makes sense, even though it is flawed is the only way to gradually improve it. there is a question about participation in in global markets to find any vaccine or other therapeutics that may emerge. sounds like there is one other foreign policy. if we can get covid under control, it sends a powerful message the united states i

as richard mentioned, i am a legal historian. i've been trained both as a lawyer and as a historian. but i also teach and write about a topic that most historians do not work on, and that is tax law and policy. taxes one of those areas that has been neglected, at least in this country. it's quite surprising, actually, i was in town for a conference at the german historical institute and every couple years the g8 japanese together a terrific conference on taxation. all these folks from europe, germans, for them, fiscal history is it. there are so many people doing it and they have so much vast knowledge. and they say what is wrong with americans? how come you don't pay attention to issues of fiscal policy. and we say we are getting there. the sources are here. give us a chance. we are catching up. this has been my research agenda from the very beginning. this book is part of a larger research agenda, when i look at the political causes and consequences of changes in american tax policy. at its core, my book really is about the int

msnbc's richard mui is at the big board. mark murray is standing by. richard, let me start with you there. where are you seeing the latest vote totals? where are we watching for more to come in. >> very good morning to you. we start this fifth day watching the results. 253 to 214. in terms of nbc news and where we're estimating the electoral vote to go. two states we want to watch closely today and that would be because of the past victory for donald trump. each of them, pennsylvania you can see on the board here, will always stay lit. president trump must get these two states in order -- if he wants to be re-elected. let me get you to some of the data that we just got in on those two states to start for you, craig. let's go to georgia first because we just got in some data about the last three or four hours ago. we've been saying how the poll workers are working very late and very hard. that's going to be the numbers that came in from fulton county there in atlanta, georgia. we got 5100 votes. of the 5100 votes that came into this area here, only 21%

richard, always a pleasure having you want to. thank you for the great work that you're doing out there. keep it, keep it up, sir. thank you, and i appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about these crucial with thank you, sir, for a voice you know, desa thing, that's the thing when i look at images that light, when we look at these problems are we facing? the richard was point now it really is, i really feel that when you can't trust leadership, sometimes it really has to be people in the streets and people making moves that way to really get these things started. now you're absolutely right where an atheist all things going wrong at the same time. and i think that with the gridlock that we see at the federal level also, you know, being multiplied at the state level. it people want don't really have any place to turn right now and it doesn't look like there are leaders who are either willing to set step up or willing to challenge the. so to be able to save a lot of folks who are really going through tough times and i think.
