let's bring in a real expert in the field dr william schaffner a vaccine specialist at the vanderbilt university medical center dr schaffner always a pleasure to have you on the show to break this all down for us before we get into the vaccination news what should we take away from cases trending downward is this just the end of the surge that we tend to supply to do the winter and holiday seasons. well we think it might be that in part and of course perhaps people wearing masks more and maybe at least in some communities this virus has spread so much that it's now starting to reduce its transmission and and some other communities were starting to vaccinate so maybe all of those things together will take it but those variants are out there and they're very contagious and so what we're worried about is as things go down now if we were a lax our interventions the masking social distancing will do the roller coaster up again and so we want to guard against that. you know we also just mentioned that there are more than 50000000 doses of code vaccines that have been administered here in the u.s. in y

the former professor of political science at vanderbilt university and author of the new book "be theall to reclaim the faith." we have only got to a few of these principles that are being sent out to teachers as part of antiracist curriculum and university. your reaction especially to the nuclear family family, antinuclear family priority. >> it is not just that. it talks about clear affirming culture, transgender rhythm. and you think about how can that be a guiding principle that is productive by children? one thing that is disturbing to me is it's not the principal but one of the goals of zero tolerance for discipline. and we know in the cities, there is a lot of violence that takes place in the classroom. kids are disruptive and not suspended any longer. they are kept there. the last thing the black community needs in schools is a situation where there is no discipline. part of the problems that affects the community is the disrespect for authority. that is why there is so much turmoil in the black community. and so the curriculum put four or five black lives matter and being emb

joining me now is carol swain, and vanderbilt university's author of be the people a call to reclaimca's faith and prominence. carol, your thoughts on the angle? >> first of all, i have been studying race relations for man years, and what i saw back in 2002 when i published a different book was that the old-style white supremacist or white people believe that they were superior to other groups, that was waning and i saw that multiculturalism, the language of political identity, that the university campuses were pushing , that it was backfiring, and it was creating a dangerous double standard. so even back in 1995, there wer people at harvard and nyu that were talking about abolishing the white race, and so all of this stuff that we see now, reaching into public schools, it's been around for a long time . it's related to marxism, and we can criticize black lives matter , but the blame lives at the feet of the white liberal professors who have brought in black students to indoctrinate them in all of the stuff in the african-american studies progra and all of those little ghetto studies

for more, i'm joined now by michael eric dyson from vanderbilt university and author of "long time comingo stars at sam cook in "one night in miami." and, listen, i love michael eric dyson. but i'm going to leslie first. i'm so excited to talk to you. thank you for coming on. i'm a huge fan. loved "hamilton," love you and can't wait to see this film. talk about what it made to play sam cook who is such an important figure in the civil rights narrative. >> well, you know, when i grew up i remember the saying your arms are too short to box with god. and it felt like my arms with a little too short to box with the god sam cook. but regina saw something in me that i didn't see in myself. it took me a while to believe there was a sam in me, but i trusted regina. >> i think there should be t-shirts that say "trust regina king." she could make a movie about the abcs and i'm going to watch it. michael eric dyson, talk a little bit more about this night. this is the meeting of, you know, my personal hero, muhammad ali, malcolm x, jim brown and sam cook. can you talk about the context of it and wha

william schaffner, in the division of infectious diseases at vanderbilt university medical center.r reaction to the j&j news and where all these numbers put up as a country on our desired path toward normalcy. >> well, poppy, we could use all the vaccine we can get because the demand at the moment exceeds the supply. that's the bottleneck. we'd like vaccine as much as possible. and we would like it delivered on time in the amounts that are announced. but we can use as much vaccine as we can get. we want to vaccinate as many people, including minority and disadvantaged communities. very, very important. the more vaccine we have, the less we have to prioritize, the easier it is for anyone who want the vaccine to come in and get it. >> doctor, what are your thoughts on the doctor. he we had paul offit saying that more americans have some immunity to covid than the numbers may indicate. 28 million who have been infected so far, but they theorize perhaps six as many times have been exposed. combined with vaccinations that that explains the drop in new infections, and that we might be fu

committee, he's served the cdc investigating outbreaks of diseases and a professor at vand vand vanderbilt university. what this means that the committee is -- has made this determination about the vaccine, what it means for its safety. >> well, pamela, what it means is that we're all very excited. we in the committee and also the food and drug administration's expert committee also was unanimous in saying that this vaccine ought to be used and get out there. it's good for people age 18 and over. as jacqueline said, because it's one and done, a single-dose vaccine, and because it can be treated like other vaccines in normal refrigerator temperature, we ought to be able to get it much more widely distributed to rural areas, doctors' offices, pharmacies, and we're all eager to see how it goes. each state will have its own version of a plan to distribute the vaccine. but let's get more doses out there because we have more people who want it than we currently have vaccines. >> and that is a true dynamic. jacqueline just said that tonight they're expected to be loaded up on the trucks to be distributed. i

william shaffner from vanderbilt university medical center. good to have you on. i want to get your view on the question of teachers because the data is actually pretty good on schools. they have not proven with mitigation to be superspreaders. this was dr. fauci's answer to me yesterday about teachers specifically. because of course, yes, we want to get them vaccinated but they do not necessarily have to be vaccinated for schools to open safely. have a listen. i want to get your view. >> and it's become clear that that's not a -- you can say we're not going to open any schools unless all the teachers get vaccinated when it comes to essential personnel. but we think we can move forward as we vaccinate teachers but that doesn't have to be if they're not vaccinated, then you don't open the school. >> do you agree with that, dr. shafner? >> you can hold two ideas in your mind at the same time. it's absolutely true. schools have, in general, not been a major focus with the transmission of this virus. nonetheless, we have a big epidemic of anxiety, even fear among the

and i'm at vanderbilt university now.you've got to come down to nashville and hang out with me. >> let's do it. especially once we get through a little more of this vaccine rollout i would love to come to vanderbilt keen hardcore michael eric dyson fans may recall he does actually teach a literal class on jay-z. and i got to go speak with him there at georgetown once upon a time. i'll do it again, sir. >> look forward to it, my friend. thank you so very kindly. >> shout out to vanderbilt. coming up, we have a serious story that we want to make sure you know about. it was caught on tape. the rochester police pepper spraying a 9-year-old girl. accountability watch. that's next. accountability watch that's next. 150k. how are you, son? who's your friend? oh, um, this is eric. ooh. the big "e."

at vanderbilt university in nashville, tennessee. bill crystal, author and writer and thinker and veteran of the reagan and bush administrations and editor-at-large of the bulwark. bill, for this segment, republicans get to go first. especially, the life-long kind. let's talk about ted cruz. never popular, often wrong, never in doubt. i guess, we won't be swearing him in as president in 2024, first of all, it's always a cold day. and second, we've never moved the oath to cancun. >> yeah. you know, it's sort of like the caricature -- i would've said used to be -- maybe not so much anymore. the republican party was heartless, rich people. couldn't care less about other people's suffering. just watch out for themselves. and -- and a contemptuous. if this were a second-rate sort of tv series about politics, you think it's a little bit much, right? on the other hand, it's not funny, obviously. donald trump's behavior, with respect to the pandemic i would say. you know, a really fundamental lack of concern, apparently, for his fellow citiz

joining us now is caroline randall williams, writer in residence at vanderbilt university.enda a bit with this breaking news from alexandria ocasio-cortez tonight. what is your reaction to what you have heard about what she went through that day, the fear, first of all, of gathering with her fellow members of congress because she didn't trust them and she thought there were people in that room that might want to betray her location and get her killed. and then when she's finally found the bathroom she's going to hide in, even when she's hiding in there, she's afraid she's going to die. >> first of all, lawrence, thank you, again, so much for having me. second, i want to just express my gratitude to the congresswoman for her bravery and sharing her story. listening to that just this afternoon, evening, i was moved into thinking about, you know, my feelings from that day, watching it from my kitchen, and thinking about how we have to accept that the emergent leadership in the republican party are essentially confederates in lincoln's clothes. they are complicit. and thinking

william schaffner, professor of infectious diseases at vanderbilt university medical center and cdc adviser up quickly on what lindsey and cori were talking about, all those places reopening, including movie theaters, middle schools, and you have madison square gardens and such. is that a good idea at this point? >> well, kendis, if we're going to open up, we'd better do it very carefully. it's true, cases have been down, hospitalizations have been down, vaccinations are coming up, but let's not rush to open things up casually. if we're going to open things up, let's reduce the number of people who can come in, keep them separated, and insist they all wear masks. let's do this cautiously. we've been on this roller coaster before. we've opened up too soon and the cases will go up. and we're particularly concerned about that because, as you all have just been talking about, there are lots of variants out there, and they produce a new threat to us. >> there are lots of variants, but now it seems as if we will have at least a few vaccines, and news of a third vaccine comes as we're about to mar

carol swain, she is a former vanderbilt university i guess professor.test threat to american society today, i would argue, is coming from the diversity, equity, inclusion industry. it is steeped in critical race theory. when they talk about anti-racism, they are really talking about teaching white people to hate themselves, especially the young ones. children are being bullied. they are being shamed. teachers are being encouraged to teach nonsense. and they may justify it by saying it is fighting racism. it's helping racial and ethnic minorities. it's really harming everyone's child. pete: carol swain is so insightful and smart. when you put the chart up where is the condemn line? that's effectively what it is when and how and where do we condemn certain people for the color of their skin. you talk about what you want to teach your kids and what i want to teach my kids is you don't see someone by the color of their skin. that's the whole idea that we are one blood. something like this takes us backwards and says no, your identity is the color of your sk

joining us, the american presidency of vanderbilt university who occasionally advises president joe bidenerence for what the republicans are doing and all the grace that president biden is showing him. he made a point it was the best meeting he had so far in five weeks, like the old days. he is reaching out but not giving in to the republicans who seem committed to disinformation and obstruction. >> well, i think it's the frail of reference is really, the country i think was governed between 1933 and 2017 by a kind of ferocious consensus, if you will. it was a figurative conversation between fdr over here and ronald reagan over here. ronald reagan, george w. bush over here, fdr, truman and lbj. everyone else pretty much governed on the same field. i've blown it past president clinton and bush and obama and agree we had a coherent culture we either raised this tax rate or lowered this tax rate, projected force against commonly agreed upon foes and rivals or didn't but it was a coherent conversation. it was like the charlie brown holiday cartoons where the kids make sense to each other but
