part of the ucla for a time in, way is all that shenanigan happening in california?ia, like the current political atmosphere of california, they believe wholeheartedly that they were somewhere at the crux of change, california's leading the way to changing every aspect of society, education included pure they want to start with children and get them young. the problem is that this is not necessarily the positive change that we need to read like about before, yes, education can be improved, but this is not the way to do it. the way to do it is to get students engaged. if you look at californian public school numbers, they were plummeting. the state has lost thousands of students. these are not kids going to private school. these are kids dropping out of out of education altogether. what does that mean for us? that means more poverty, more homelessness, greater economic inequalities. things they are contributing to by simply driving kids out of the public school systems and into nothing. >> todd: got to leave it there, dr. houman hemmati, use shenanigans as singular. i

like to bring in daniel, he joins us from los angeles where he is a professor of legal science at uclahe is also the author of the return, russia's journey from gorbachev to medvedev. thank you for being with us. >> sure. >> as the last soviet union leader, mikhail gorbachev, who oversaw the end of the cold war. while he charmed americans, there were mixed feelings for him back home, weren't there? how located is his legacy inside russia? >> if you think about it, his achievements in russia were all negative, or they were perceived that way. he is a paradoxical figure because as you said, he is widely admired in the west, but at home, pretty much everything that he tried to do failed. he wanted to revise communism. it died on his watch. he wanted to revitalize the soviet economy, it collapsed. he wanted to maintain the integrity of the soviet state, and split up into 15 separate republics. so, in almost all respects, he is viewed by russians as having introduced catastrophe, rather than improving their lives. i think that is unfortunately his legacy. on the other hand, from the outside

long periods of time and there's new science that came out this week daniel swayne out of california, ucla the idea both with the loss of snowpack and land, the loss of good soil to absorb rain when it happens due to wildfires and erosion, there could be a day when the weather systems have changed so dramatically it could rain for a month in the central valley of california and create the kinds of flooding events that literally humanity has never seen that could create where the salad bowl of the world is around bakersfield as a result of this. scary apocalyptic horror movie things. unfolding faster than previously predicted and you connect the dots of how the new planet is working out after all the wildfires, the pattern changes, what that will look like. we have to get ready. get ready. >> and when i look at that video of the rain pouring down on the blackjack table, it makes you think of -- we really are gambling with our future. this is an image of it right here. no better image of what's going on with our planet right now, i think you could argue than blackjack table flooded. >> repor

. >> we've seen incidents at stanford, ucla, northwestern, michigan. columbia. reporter: the palestinian cause is a prominent one among progressives right now. those voices have big megaphones at universities. >> when i was on campus it was free tibet. why tibet? had anybody been to tibet? not necessarily and it is still not free. but that was the issue of the moment. it is true palestine is the issue of the moment. that's not to discount it. palestinians should be free. there are a lot of factors that go into why palestinian activism is so prominent on college campuses. and there certainly is an anti-semitic element in there but it's not the only or even the primary element. >> reporter: experts across the board caution anti-semitism is growing on the left but it is not equivalent to hate from the right. >> i'm certainly more terrified of the right, of people who are white nationalists, who are armed, who have a history of walking into synagogues and opening fire. and on the left it is more in the discourse. >> so on the extreme right, they are the tornado that

a professor from ucla, many key factors are left out in these tables, including the effect of deficit reduction, the positive effects of the spending on clean energy and benefits from lower drug prices as i stated. at the center for american process, republicans do not mention that the analysis includes an imputation of corporate taxes and the 15% minimum on corporations with less than $1 billion of profit to income groups and it does not include the major provisions of -- that benefit people including the tax cuts and drug savings. reporter: a professor's budget model says this inflation reduction act will increase inflation in 2024. does the president worry about that? karine: we agree with senator manchin and disagree with penn wharton, as do a number of qualified experts. it is quite ironic that congressional republicans are complaining or have false outrage on this inflation reduction act that is actually going to do something and help the american people lower costs when they have offered nothing to do that. what they have offered is to increase taxes, on americans making less t

daniel swain co-authored a study at ucla's institute of the environment and sustainability. he said flood risks increases >> i thi the highest king tides you seen and add a foot or two on top of that and then add an additional increment of flooding risk coming from all the water that will be rushing down from the hills from the rainfall. you'd see a significant amount of flooding on the bay shore. kumasi: it's hard to pinpoint the exact timing. scientists say a decade of severe floods is expected to happen some time in the next 30 years. swain says the focus of future studies will be to figure out how much it will cost to prepare for the crises. reggie: your voice your vote. it's primary day in alaska and wyoming where incumbents are fighting to keep their job. congresswoman liz cheney is set to lose her seat. >> reporter: former president trump is expected to achieve his biggest political victory since losing the white house. liz cheney is expected to be defeated. she was one of ten house republicans who voted to impeach trump. she's vice chair on the committee on the eve o

she is the founder of critical race theory, in fact, and the distinguished professor of law of the ucla in columbia university. they both join me now. jason, let's start with you, and let's cut to it. was it fascism on display at cpac? was that a fascist and that american conservatives were embracing, and applauding? >> first of all, we need to remember, just because there is not mass murder happening, at the moment, does not mean it is not fascism. there is no genocide in germany, or italy, in the mid 1930s. nevertheless, you had fascists. what we saw, certainly, was fascist rhetoric. the title of orban stop, how we fight, it is clearly a reference of french fastest, yeoman facebook, why we fight. so the, we saw the themes of fascist rhetoric on full display. great replacement theory is central for nazi ideation. the idea that left us, and communist, want to replace white christiana day. it is by immigrants from non white immigrants. the >> kimberly, how dangerous is it to have someone talking about the dangers of race mixing one week, and then another week, promptly, being hosted by r
