some of us like at yale have one reality and others have a poor inner-city neighborhood with those of the existing conditions have a very different reality. what does this pandemic tell us so what do we learn from past pandemics and what should we be doing to prepare for more going forward? is that inseparability of questions of both on the one hand and access to healthcare and then also to define freedom as keeping the government away. and then getting access. and that the pandemic has made when the vaccine is online we need to distribute it and administer it. and then the man the public health questions and that is a hopeful one despite the misery maybe we can see a little better. and the course of the coming weeks and months. i always thought before covid the prevailing narrative with people being left behind and you mention with the affordable healthcare with the socioeconomic factors of income and that has been quite striking and mentioning vaccines apart from the cost is the barrier but that scarcity which we will on the beginning on the basis of race. >> those based on for thei

" this is our set of terms, yet you have not done that. you have written a book with a sense of historical context of research, but also understanding that kissinge

vivek murthy, yale associate dean, a number of doctors we see regularly. what do you think?ng, john. i'm really enthusiastic. the biden -- president-elect biden has stated in his plan that this is going to be a plan based on science, a plan that utilizes the consummate public health professionals which we see in that list. it's going to be founded on trust, transparency, and accountability. and i think that list just demonstrated that he's going to stick to that plan. >> so in addition to those experts that he'll be relying on, he's also released his plan or outline for his plan. here's what we know. the biden plan, to fight covid, would be free testing on a massive scale. to use the defense production act to increase ppe. i'm curious to hear if you think that we're still running woefully short. nationwide mask mandate. evidence-based guidelines for communities. plan for effective and equal distribution of treatments and vaccines. and protect high-risk americans. what jumps out at you from that plan? >> well, there's so much that does. first of all, the core of it is in so m

i never suggested that hank gomez applied to the yale american studies ph.d. program so i wrote a letter of recommendation two philip deloria and a week ago i had a archive impulse to find the recommendation that i wrote him three decades ago but phil with a sigh of relief did not find a time to perform this exercise and have that resource and management. were moving fast to get out of the way and with the existence of thank you gomez but first february is the two remarkable influential post what were combination of intricacy and original insight and common sense published in 1988 and ended not expected twice in 2004. most recently has published an unsettling was becoming mary scholarly in an african american abstract in the well deserved attention to extraordinary in the artist who's also the great aunt and was widening and deepening what that means an american indian art. continuing his quest to observe human nature and illuminating and enlightening settings. he served as president of the american society organization and the president of the organization an

we were at the yale art gallery and giving talks on a panel about an exhibit on western american art at the art gallery. in our audience, unknown to us when we began speaking, was the goofiest white lady that any of us had ever encountered. she put herself on record very fast. she got up. she was very outraged. she looked at the panel and she said she thought it was unconscionable and intolerable that yale university would have a session on western american art without a native-american participating. so i was not her fan and will not become that. i didn't know what to do. i thought he is a former student. maybe i would move into the breach there. but then i saw, phil said to the white lady's considerable bewilderment, a paraphrase. he said we can't be certain on the dates here, but sometime probably in the 17th centuries, french traders named deloria sgim the area that we now know is north dakota. and this lady has got a -- what has this got to do with anything? and then he moves along. and that is a story of his origins and she shut up really fast. and i don't recall her joining us

we've borrowed lundberg's diary, also from the archives at yale university. and what you see here is his writing about a speech that he cave in des moines, iowa, on september 11, of 1941. during the speech he asks, who wants us to go to war? and he lists three groups. he says the british wants us to go to war, and of course this makes sense, france has fallen and western european nations are falling. the british are the last line of the fence. he says fdr wants us to go to war. he calls fdr a warmonger. and argues that the administration has been lying to the american people. and then third, he says and the jews want to go to warren. and he cites the fact, or his belief, that america has been a tolerant land for jews, and then he basically issues a threat to jews in america. he says if we go to war, it is perceived as a jewish war, that tolerance might fail. and then he quickly slips into mini antisemitic tropes, arguing about jews clinician, is due to control of hollywood and their control of international banking systems. i think what he's doing there is ac

and i concluded that yale in those days was collectivist in its impulses and ago agnostic. shall i rattle on, or do you want to -- [laughter] i was going to say as recently as four years ago at a reunion someone who is now -- [inaudible] reminded me that i had volunteered to read aloud the section that bore on christianity to wright hall, a fraternity of christian-minded young men. he said i regret to tell you that everything you said was proved correct. which he meant that the gradual sort of disappearance of the strong christian faith was accurately predicted in, this was his knowledge of what went on and what subsequently happened. william f. buckley was published by regnery, and thomas benz is the new publisher of regnery. how long have you been on the job? >> guest: i have been the publisher since january of this year. so i guess i've just completed ten months. >> host: and what were you doing prior to that? >> guest: i was an editor at regnery since 2012 until this year. so we have two levels of editors. we have senior editors, leaded tod haves who -- lead editors o t

mnuchin yale. esp esper, harvard. azar dartmouth and yale law. carson yale. chao, harvard. navarro harvard. >> first of all, donald trump bragged his entire life about going to penn. wharton. the wharton school, whatever. he's always bragged about all the ivy leaguers that he kept around him. so marco's tweet was ridiculous on that front. on the other front it was ridiculous about america's decli decline? tony blinken is -- the wall street editorial page said itself, tony blinken and jake sullivan are more hawkish than most of the main stays in the obama administration. in fact, it was tony blinken who said of barack obama drawing the red line and then backing down, superpowers don't bluff. yes, he can be critical and that's his right. partisanship will continue, but that tweet is so false, so misleading, so ridiculous that it really for anybody that's been in washington for more than 15 minutes, and i know you can explain this to our viewers better than i can, the chairman of the senate intel committee has always traditionally kept himself or herself above the fray because

not as if the clock struck 12:00 when you graduate from a place like harvard or yale.j his father said you'll brush up against the grind stone of life. that's more important than whatever college experience you went to. so that means you just keep learning. lbj learned from people. he had the congressman over to his senate and office buildings and to the mansion. night after night after night. you know, they'd have dinner with him. he'd learn from them and listen to them. so i think the answer is you don't think you're suddenly educated because you went to the ivy league school. you think i'll keep doing this the rest of my life and those people will catch right up. teddy roosevelt was reading abraham lincoln, in the middle of the coal strike because he wanted to know how did lincoln handle a difficult situation. there's so much to learn. this is for michael too, from history. i mean, you learn from your parents and grandparents, why would you not learn from other presidents so the fact that you keep learning, life-long learning is a great thing. you have lived with hi

i'm lucky to enough to teach aft yale university and we brought students back this fall and we have anraordinarily effective so far -- can i knock on wood -- so far successful. it's october 26th. let's hope this keeps working. but we have had a huge number of contact tracers who have been able to connect people to students who -- when studented have had positive and been extraordinary effort weapon don't have that kind of capacity in our public institutions. so one of the things that's pandemic is present thing united states if with the value of state capacity, public institutions can do what our richest private institutions have started doing on behalf of their members. >> so we can -- it certainly tells us need to have a stronger public health infrastructure. open to the idea how we embrace technology. very, very quickly because we're run out of time. so many more question is want to ask you. speaking of technology, you talked about how the world has changed and flu and yellow fever with the flu and mobilation and travel. now we have social media. we have all of these conspiracy theo

spectrum he was well over to the right, but he loved to joke about the fact that he was president of yaletudents for eugene mccarthy back in '68. he opposed the vietnam war not for the reasons mccarthy did, but he thought if it was winnable, we weren't doing enough. anyway, he becomes cia director, but bill clinton and woolsey were like oil and water as one source put it to me. clinton just did not like him after the first briefing, which went on and on and evidently at some length. woolsey left, bill clinton learned-- turned to one of his advisors and says, i never want to see that man again and he almost never did. woolsey had literally one meeting with the president, and at one point, there was a freak accident on the south lawn of the white house, a small plane crashed and killed the pilot, afterwards woolsey said to the press, that was me trying to get an appointment with bill clinton. >> oh, my god. >> so it was not a very productive relationship and woolsey met his demise over the james scandal, ames, that case the most serious mole since kim fillby probably in american intelligenc

if you talk to jeff, he has the ear of every major ceo in corporate america from his perch at yale and, they're saying, listen, trump may be kind of a sore loser here. this is what they're saying, i'm not saying i agree with this, he may not want to concede. the fact that he's still in office and not conceding is not the problem. the real problem is cheerily from a national -- clearly from a national security standpoint and maybe ultimately from an economic standpoint, if joe biden who's going to be president no matter what are recount challenges you have, he's going to be president, he needs to be briefed on national security concerns and economic issues from the white house. and the fact that he doesn't have that briefing just yet is hurting, it could really hurt a smooth transition when he takes office in january. at least that's what they're saying. they're saying if this lasts much longer, if it lasts into, you know, two weeks, a month from now, you know, you're really going to have, you could have some reporters that could jeopardize the economy. i'm not saying i necessarily agre

interesting you use the example of your daughter, bush went to yale. i went to harvard had i not chosen the army instead. the schools control the opinion of the children of the rich and/or powerful. i had a stepbrother who was going to inherit a lot of money, he was sent to groton st. mark's. for those who will be rich. who make them into gentlemen and scholars and certain values. this is how opinion is formed by the ruling class. how to get political training but their view, i belong to the ruling class. i was sent to ecuador which was for the bright boys of the ruling class who worked for the rich boys, and we will become judges, senators, editors of the new york times, those doors are open to us, bankers, but we are not properly speaking members. that is how it is done and how they continue it. there has always been a move in england where they know about the upper classes and we are not told, the most intelligent upper-class i have ever seen or overall, nobody knows they are there. they own the newspapers, the newspapers get the game on who control

joining me now, timothy snyder, a professor at yale university. thank you for making time for us this evening. there are a lot of people who don't want to hear what you wrote today in "the boston globe" or what you tweeted yesterday. they want this to be over. they believe, as joe biden constantly says, this will pass and he will be the next president of the united states. but what you write about is something deeper than that. the scar that this will leave on democracy, you actually refer to germany of the 1920s as an example of how dangerous this can be. >> that's right. i mean, an election doesn't ordinarily unroll with a story like this. in the united states, usually the story is clear. one person wins, one person loses, one person gives a victory speech, one person concedes. what we have to think about looking forward is what it means when a sitting president and many of his important allies, the majority leader in the senate, for example, the secretary of state, for example, take part in what is unequivocally a big lie. all of the evidence i
