i'm sarah snyder with kate bolduan and john berman. this is cnn news central. >> a penny for your thoughts? maybe not ever again. the president just ordered the mint to stop making them. and yes, there are questions on whether he has the authority to do that. he definitely has the authority to impose tariffs. new ones this morning on steel and aluminum to everybody. >> steel, including canada and mexico. >> any steel coming into the united states is going to have a 25% tariff. >> what about aluminum? >> aluminum to. >> so this will hit canada and mexico hard. two of the largest steel exporters to the united states. this is the week after the president retreated on other tariffs against them. he also says he will launch new reciprocal tariffs to match what other countries have on u.s. goods, dollar for dollar. let's get to cnn's alayna treene at the white house for this new tariff monday. elena. >> that's exactly right. i mean, this is just the latest escalation, john, in donald trump's escalating, you know, threat of tariffs and bringi

as timothy snyder talks about in his book on tyranny, we can't be paralyzed with fear. we have to step up and fight this stuff. this is fascism. we're seeing it right in our streets, right here. the use of the military will be next in the streets of america to round up people who are brown. and in new jersey, they detained a guy who was a u.s. military veteran, a us citizen, and they mocked him because he said, i'm an american. and they mocked him for it. and congress, bonnie watson coleman and others denounced it. so this is a spectacle. it's called a fascist spectacle. people can google that term. it is real. >> the problem with this, though, is that we're talking about it here, but there are probably large swaths of the country who are just watching right wing media and who follow doctor phil, and they're probably buying the fact that, like, finally, donald trump is in power. two weeks in, he is fixing the immigration system and they are just eating it all up. >> i think that it's not going to be. until you start to see people don't know where. >> teachers are. >> an

nominating speeches and threw their support behind ken martin that included marianne williamson and nate snydere will see whether democrats select a chair on this first ballot. if they do not reach that majority, then this will continue onto further ballots. but there are really major challenges that the democratic party is facing in this moment. and that is what the dnc chair will have to really chart out in the coming years. they are trying to rebound from those devastating losses to republicans, which led to the return of donald trump to the white house in november. and then they are still grappling with how exactly to respond to trump in this new era. in his return to the white house, you saw democrats really this week starting to gain their footing a bit in pushing back against some of trump's policies when it related to the freeze on federal funding for grants and other initiatives. but these are all major questions that the dnc chair will face, as they are expected to come into office. they will have to focus on fundraising, trying to build organizing across the states and trying to take

tools of aspiring autocrats is to create a climate of fear that leaves opponents in historian tim snyder's words to obey in advance. i hope with this conference, hearing from the many experts here, seeing the many concerned citizens, students participating here you'll feel a greater sense of solidarity and a bit less fear what's going on right now and the insights, the rule of law to their assailants. i just want to thank our co-sponsors, partners at the law school, congress of democracy and o'neill institute and our amazing speakers introduced throughout the day and incredible event staff here, crystal, jack, john, adrian, aiden, victoria, who work with incredible professionalism to make this happen and finally, thank my ra, who basically took over organizing this event because i'm not an event planner, thank you to her. i'll thank you for coming and hand things over to professor schaeffer.

last thing i would say, i agree with nate snyder, martin o'malley on this.need an information war room that combats misinformation and disinformation in real-time. they spent three years defining our party before we ever find ourselves. that can never happen again. [cheers and applause] jonathan: thank you. according to a report days after the election, misinformation researchers at news guard found 900 63 websites and 793 social media accounts that have repeatedly published all selection information and 1283 partisan websites masquerading as neutral news organizations during the campaign. you write on your website, "in an era of rapid communication, the dnc must operate 20 47 to combat misinformation and mobilizes -- 24.7 to combat misinformation." how do we do this? >> we have not come to the realization that it is ok to fail. i think we have become risk averse. we have been in a culture of overproducing a slick ad with bells and whistles. we have found out that some things, sometimes, something that is based in grassroots and we are giving autonomy to con

snyder about he is worried about money, elon, contracts.he worried about all our tax money going to different countries under this usaid? what burns me is they gave vietnam $11 million to not burn trash. why wasn't he worried about that? as a veteran i cannot be seen by the dentist at the va hospital in tuscaloosa, alabama because i am not 100% disabled. i have to pay my own dental insurance. i spent 40 years in the military, army and air force. active duty and reserve. we can give our tax money to countries glorifying perversion under this lgb, whatever it is, but a veteran cannot even get insurance or be seen by the dentist unless he is 100% disability. we need some help in that part of the v.a. i appreciate you taking my call today, sir. host: patrick is in fairfax, virginia, good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i want to go back to the first question you started this morning off with, where to cut expenses of the government. you know, the medicare and medicaid wrongful payments. there is so much waste involv

from buyout snyder, it's -- buyout insider. it is entitled back to school. investors are bullish again on education. private equities appetite for the sector is strong is the subheadline. and while a lot of this article is immediately about private industry in tech, the technology that surrounds schools and used by teachers, it talks about the private equity's interest in buying be running schools. it talks about some of the schools that are already being bought and run by private equity. remember becky devos, she ran for profit schools where the goal every day was not to educate kids but to make money for betsy devos and her family. and so part of the agenda here is not just to pass along a tax cut to the billionaires and the millionaires and the corporations, but also just ship big parts of our public service infrastructure into the private sector. i'm a capitalist. i believe in the genius of the private sector, but i think there are some things we should do for the common good. there are some things that shouldn't be about how much money can i make? billi

a wonderful professor and friend of mine at yale, tim snyder, wrote a little book on tyranny -- that's the name of the book. it's 20 lessons from tyranny in the 20th century. and the first lesson is do not obey in advance. which is to say, do not anticipate what a dictator wants and accede to it in advance. do not acquiesce. do not obey in advance. today we have to take a stand against a group of people who want to shred our constitution, want to light it on fire because they feel there's a higher good. they want to save money or they think that we're in the midst of some religious movement or they simply want to get power. whatever their motive -- and i don't pretend to fully understand it -- they have unleashed on our government a group of doge technocrats -- i use that word advisedly -- young people, maybe older people who think they can simply slash government spending. but, more to the point, that they have right to access information which americans have been providing in trust to the department of treasury, the labor department, the department of education, private, confidential
