the legislation course, as i teach it at harvard and yale, mainly yale, focuses on statutory interpretationts how the legislative process works. and the normal process for interpreting statutes. both of them were star students. hawley, at yale. and cruz, at harvard. really, excellent students. and so, they understand, both how to interpret statutes, and they understand the american-political and judicial process. and so, what disappoints me about both of them is that they know that the process was working, normally. and yet, they're still making these allegations. that echo the completely baseless allegations made by the president. and then, add a legal veneer, which just doesn't hold up. >> you know, the dominos are now falling for them. there are people calling for their resignations. there are companies that are pulling political fundraising. do you think they deserve this? >> well, here is the point i would make, as a law professor, and that is, that there is not accountability, in recent years, for misstatements, fabrications, exaggerations. and in this particular case, with the presid

. >>> joining me now is yale university history professor, tim, and i think you face the motivation of this trial, and that is the moderation of an existential threat to it. this authoritarian coup attempt is actually an existential threat to democracy. >> it's an existential threat, first of all, to the rule of law. the basic question is do you have a government which is run according to law, or do you have a government which is run according to violence or the threats of violence. the second thing to say is do you have a democracy where people are not afraid to vote and lawmakers are not afraid to make the right judgment, or do you have a system where the vote itself is held hostage and where fear ends up governing instead of ballots. that's where we are. the story that i think about is how are we going to remember this? how are the history books going to remember this? how are we going to teach our children and grandchildren about this? we know what happened now, but the crucial thing is, can we teach people about the rule of law and democracy into the future? to do that, there has

we have the cynical elites, hawley, cruz, stanford, yale, professorships at oxford, a clerkship to the of the united states. they know the election was free, fair and legitimate, they know this is all a lie. but they are cynical and arrogant enough to believe they can ride the tiger, they can advantage themselves by going into business with the people that they have contempt for, the people outside who stormed the capitol. and then there's the sheep, the people who just go along to get along, accommodationists, what rob portman is, one foot in front of the other. would be a lovely person to live next door to, would be a great guy for your kids to wave to, would be great to have an eye on the neighbor but he's a terrible united states senator because he doesn't understand that sometimes his job requires conflict. and the conflict that it requires is to stand up and to assert his faithfulness and fidelity to the constitution of the united states, which was attacked. attacked by that mob incited by hawley and cruz. there is no moving on from this. the people's government was attacked. tha

we've borrowed lundberg's diary from the archives at yale university.t you see here is lindbergh writing about a speech he gave in des moines, iowa on september 11th, of 1941. during this 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, western european nations have fallen, the british are the last line of defense. he says fdr wants us to go to war, he calls him a warmonger and argues that the administration has been lying to the american people. and then third, he says and the jews want us to go to war. and he cites the fact, for 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 that is perceived as a jewish war, that tolerance might fade. and then he quickly slips in too many antisemitic tropes, arguing about jews climates and jews controlling hollywood and jews controlling international banking systems. i think what lindbergh is doing there is actu

on "after words," yale law professor discussed how american law responds to pandemics. here is a portion of that discussion. >> viruses bring out individualism as a kind of suicide. in our history the federalists of the country understood that quite powerfully. in the 1790s one in ten residents of philadelphia died of yellow fever. i mean, we have 1% of the u.s. population that died in the last six months. 10% of philadelphia died. i was in a neighborhood that was the federal government's evacuation place during yellow fever so i grew up with this in some sense but it is a terrible way to deal with infectious disease and collective authority authorities through the democratic processes to help communities flourish is the alternative. one way to think about this is we had a myth in this country that freedom comes from the government. in moments of epidemics, it comes from figuring out a way to work collectively through the government to give us all the resources to help us flourish and that runs deep through american history deeper than the rugged individualism idea. >>

where the american people, quite frankly, are way ahead of their government. 72% of americans in the yale research say global warming is happen. 72% say it's happening, 60% of american adults would like their president to do more about the crisis. let's have a conversation with kathryn heyhill, she's director of the climate center at texas universe. cnn's phil mattingly is with us as well. i want to get to the specific changes today but as a climate scientist, someone who has tried to move the country and citizens on this issue. how much of a difference does it make just of the fact from the president on down, you now have an administration that says this is a crisis, not a hoax? >> i think it's absolute lit critical. make no mistake there have been cities like washington, d.c., there have been states like microsoft, nonprofits and tribal nations and universities all taking action. but to finally have the federal government as a full partner will be a much needed shot of energy. >> phil, to this point, again, so many change happening in niece early days you get dizzy. you're just at the w

snyder, a yale historian, offers that in his piece and specifically divides the republicans who havens -- breakers and gamers who are gaming the system to maintain power, meaning they push hard but work within the current rules, while he writes the breakers might actually break the system and have power without democracy. snyder argues that mcconnell is a gamer. he may bash norms, he may block a supreme court pick, but all through his use and pressure of the rules themselves. while republicans like cruz and hawley have exposed themselves as more trumpian breakers. they're literally showing the nation how they would overthrow an election. they just didn't have enough organized support to pull it off this month. now, both factions converge on reinforcing donald trump's lies for years, which was key toward building toward the insurrection. in snyder's telling many trump claims were, quote, small lies and their main effect was cumulative. to believe in all of them was to accept the authority of a single man and disbelieve everything else. the history of autocrats and dictators is rife wi
