look, hannah arendt, one of the most prominent historians who studied the third reich, expressly rejecteday out for people "who actually are responsible," because, she said, "if everybody is supposedly guilty then no—one really is." there are people who actually are responsible for the war crimes being committed by the russian army in ukraine. there are people who actually are responsible for this war... so when... ..of aggression that has been waged for almost three years... so when the levada opinion polling organisation... ..and they should be held responsible. hang on, vladimir. when the levada opinion polling organisation in russia, which admittedly works in very difficult circumstances when it comes to polling, but when it finds repeatedly that a very clear majority of russians support putin's ukraine policy, you're telling me that's nonsensical and meaningless, are you? stephen, i understand that it's yourjob to ask questions like this, but i'm sorry — this is an absolutely senseless question. how can we talk about opinion polls in a repressive dictatorship, when people go to priso

so if that is a salute, than aoc and pocahontas are the third reich. elon had a chuckle.is hitler attack is so tired. cancel culture has been crushed, the left doesn't own twitter and no one is watching legacy media so the hoaxes go nowhere. but it will take a while for the left to find it's footing. trump was president for one day and it's already crating jobs for cnn. the fact-checker is back. >> ever joined our senior reporter, fact-checking some of what we heard from president trump and there is a lot. what stands out to you? >> there were a lot of big lies there, anderson. >> jesse: trump did an entire press conference with reporters last night. that is more than biden has given through all of last year. but cnn will probably have to fact-check me. the founder of public news joins us now. so you are already seeing the avalanche of hoaxes and sinister smears. is this stuff going to work now? >> jesse, it's good to be with you. i don't think so. you get a sense of the real shift. it's not just that trump defeated the democrats politically but there is a moral defeat he

in germany, it is very different because for many, this is a reminder how the third reich came into powerthe nazis came into power by little concessions. this is a different time but this is getting people on the streets and protesting. tom: to that point, it is a huge gamble for merz and the cdu. how do we expect this to play out in the days ahead? >> i have to be honest, i have no idea which way this will go. there are a couple different arguments how this could play out. it is really interesting debate. fundamentally, even if you disagree with what mertz is doing, there is a fundamental problem in german politics. there is fragmentation where you have these parties with 20% of the vote and not able to get anything done. frederick mertz is trying to say there is a party that takes immigration seriously and can do something about it. he has gotten criticism not just from other parties. with angela merkel the former chancellor of germany, the former head of the cdu, going out against this grade we had two church groups, two of the largest churches in germany against this. this is the chri

he was german, though, and during the third reich when he was making his art, the german government, the nazis they decided his art was degenerate. he wasn't jewish, but he was fired from his teaching job in germany after he tried to protect his jewish students from the nazis, after he protested against jewish faculty members being removed from their posts at the school where he taught, so he lost his job as well. the nazis didn't just fire him from teaching, they banned him from showing his work. they banned him from selling his work. they actually confiscated some of his tures and melted them down. they said they needed weapons to make for the germany army. so it's a little bit of a miracle he survived world war ii in germany he did. it's even more of a miracle some of his sculptures survived world war ii in germany. they did. not long after the end of world war ii in 1949, one of his surviving sculptures actually came to the united states. there was a big, important international sculpture show in philadelphia in 1949, and gearhart marks brought this statue to that show. it is 7 f

all these people lost their lives because of the actions of the third reich and its collaborators. and so now this is a time to remember not just the people who lost their lives here at auschwitz, but throughout the holocaust. we're talking about a combined roughly 6 million jews killed many others from various groups. and this is a moment to reflect on the past, but also a warning for the future from these survivors. anna. >> so important we cannot forget. jesse kirsch. thank you for that reporting. that does it for us today. i'm ana cabrera, reporting from new york. jose diaz-balart picks up our coverage next. >> good morning. 11 a.m. eastern at am pacific. >> i'm jose diaz-balart. >> we begin. this hour with. >> breaking news on. president trump's. >> efforts to. >> carry out his promise of. >> the largest deportation operation in american history. >> ice agents, along with. >> other federal agents. >> carried out arrests. >> in a. >> number of cities over the weekend, including chicago, denver, atlanta, los angeles. >> phoenix. >> miami. >> san diego. >> and san juan, puerto ri
