well off from where i'm now joined by did have you a political correspondent rupert good to have you here in person now these are three truly historic and world changing events that are being marked on the same day the proclamation of the first republic in one nine hundred eighteen then two to decades later the anti jewish polygram night in one nine hundred thirty eight and then the fall of the berlin wall five decades later and nine hundred eighty nine which event has most shaped contemporary germany well in the end all three of these events are very important to germany and to the germans and. they all have their own specific right to be mentioned and to be commemorated and if you just look at the recent past of the. fall of the berlin wall on the ninth of november nine hundred eighty nine was something that was more in the foreground here in germany for the last twenty years that's really before that was the pogroms against the programs of nine hundred thirty eight when i was young that was the most important thing to talk about on the ninth of. what was quite interesting. today i

may not think that the end of the fairness doctrine had anything to do with the start of fox news rupert murdoch who owns the channel. would beg to disagree when he was asked why it is that he hadn't turned his british news channel sky news into a fox news he said because the regulations don't allow it now i get that the fairness doctrine may not have been the perfect regulatory measure but it was written in one thousand nine hundred forty nine it was forty years old when it was dispensed with by the reagan administration in most countries when they have a regulation that isn't doing the job they rewrite it they update it so why this approach well because we don't have a congress that works at all we don't have a regular regulatory regime that works for hardly anything and a third difference that you didn't mention is that. the first amendment in the united states is is much stronger than the equivalents in germany and the u.k. so for example in the in germany it is against the law to practice holocaust denial you are allowed to. make particular ethnic groups into hate objects. and so th

and that is the rupert murdoch-owned "new york post"? their editorial today basically said their editorial today said the fear is that this is a prelude to somehow shutting down mueller's investigation and possibly burying all its work. won't happen. the incoming democratic house of representatives will have full subpoena power, and mueller and his minions would surely cooperate rather than be silenced. trump would be begging for impeachment and risking conviction even in a republican senate. he would also pretty much guarantee defeat in 2020. so they say won't happen. do you agree i mean that's a pretty powerful check on the president. he relies a lot on the support of the post and fox and rupert murdoch. >> i think the post is being a bit too panglossian. the idea that he has no chance of being elected in 2020, it is wishful thinking. he does have a chance. he is not very smart if a conventional sense, but he is wily, and he knows where to sink the fangs. he might well prevail in 2020 the idea -- >> professor, tribe, i think they were
