challenging him to television last night doctor albert burke former director of graduate studies at yale universityamerica. we believe that broadcast with educational television pioneer, albert berke. using footage and interviews from cuba, berke argues that poverty, racism and economic exploitation by u.s. corporate interests and pre revolutionary cuba led to the popularity of fidel castro, who promised to make life better for his supporters. >> chapter one. and the battle of america. chapter one was the battle of cuba. it was finished on january the 8th, 1959 here in havana. the kind of history these people began writing here was not intended to stop here.

and there are some activists who write, protests at yale university, the historian's job is to explain the path to the present so when i saw that happening, what is out there on calhoun i knew a couple of the biographies and when i went and looked, biographies had not been written at that time in 23 years or 28, a figure of comparable importance that is almost unimaginable that you have gone that long without a major biography and what happened is the entire field of southern history, slavery had changed so dramatically that i didn't think the interpretations of calhoun that i was reading in some of those older books which are great, and it is a great political in 1993. the entire field, changed in dramatic ways. and a more modest figure than we like to think about. we would like to portray him, the father a failed political project, and and acknowledge part of american identity. >> one thing that strikes me immediately. you don't shy from that was a couple things connected, the notion of him, those of you on the call, this, bob and i grew up in scholarly terms with the view of the sel

could you tell us how students at yale university helped propel a national movement against the us getting involved? absolutely, and you know, what's interesting here. is that something we've been we've keep we keep coming back to in this conversation is the idea that sort of what's at stake is a question of american identity often in very complex ways wherein americans are concerned about what's happening abroad, but also concerned with sort of solidifying and codifying what it means to be an american and i think the america first committee which was founded at yale university by a group of law students in 1940 is a really good example of this and you can see in their poster here with the figure of the statue of liberty and the notion that war is a threat to american ideals of liberty and independence are really at stake here. so america first founded at yale though. it was broadly opposed to american involvement in any war within that umbrella had several diverse viewpoints. so some members of america first were pacifists meaning that they just didn't want to get involved in any conflict

joining me now, joanne freeman from yale university. arlie hawksfield for the uc berkeley sociology department and the author of "being strangers in their own land." i'm so happy to have you both here for this conversation. you are two of my favorite people who study this issue. arlie, the reason i wanted to talk to you, you lived this world before the moment we were in. you went down to louisiana and you spent time amongst people who held views that were very foreign to those that you existed around. so you learned a little bit about this. what have you learned and written about that could inform us in this moment of deep political disagreement? >> well, you know, i've learned that, first of all, you need a goal to try and talk across the way. and i found that people on the right, that tea party people that became enthusiasts for donald trump already in -- before he was elected. that they want to talk across -- but what's missing is we don't have the vehicles. we used to have the compulsory draft and unions that mixed and matched us ac

[inaudible] -- host: our guest has a legal degree and master degree from yale university. let's go to andrew from redhook, new york on the independent line. caller: thank you for your time. i understand the premise of what you are pushing for statehood. but, the framers early did point out that they did not want d.c. to ever become a state because it would centralize power. currently, you would have how many senators living in washington dc? maybe not full-time, they do maintain residences, both the speakers of both of the houses, congress. by doing that, you are centralizing power. giving statehood does that tenfold, 100 fold. host: congresswoman norton? guest: senators live in d.c. when they are here. but they better maintain the residence where they are. d.c. does not get more power because the seat of government is here. senators take up residence here for the time they are in congress. but that does not give d.c. more power. that simply means that while they are here, they often vote against it d.c.. -- vote against d.c.. d.c. has never gained anything from the fact t

from having the lights off to yale university. now i'm in a position to, but i'm not here to celebrate what i've accomplished. i'm here to talk about how we are going to continue to expand on those victories. the democratic party is going to make its earliest and largest investment ever in a midterm election. today, i am proud to announce our first round of investments in this midterm. over the next year, we will invest $20 million in midterm programs. that's before we even get to that 2022 general. it will go toward democrats while laying the groundwork for 2024, 2030 and beyond. we are going to take the fight directly to the balkans. we are going to be nimble and forward thinking with our strategy and resources. we are going to build and maintain a consistent presence in communities all around the country. my friends, you think -- we are planning to play a bigger role than ever before area we are going to put our cash to work early to double the time our programs have to engage voters and that means building camping infrastructu

anchor: the director of the institute for global health at yale university is also a member of the worldzation's expert working group onovid-19 vaccines. >> i have reservations about vaccine passports, but they seem inevitable whether we like it or not. anchor: in that case, how do you make it more desirable? how do you address the reservations you have? >> i think there nee to be a multilateral engagement, so there could be a role of other entities of where you ensure there is equity in terms of how ty are implemented and as equitable as possible. the reason i am saying they are inevitable is even if governments do not do this, there is so much incentive for private entities to implement some form of verification of vaccination one way or another. so for example, if airlines do not do it, tourist destinations will do it, businesses will do it, and other entities are likely to find it an attractive option to minimize and mitigate their risk, especially as things open up. the key is to ensure that implemented -- they are implemented equitably so those who get vaccinated have equitable acc

>> reporter: researchers at yale university recently launched a study looking into whether the vaccine may actually help alleviate the lingering symptoms in some so-called covid long haulers. and more than 135 million americans or roughly 40% of the population have received at least one shot at this point. anne-marie? >> all right. laura podesta in new york. laura, thank you so much. >>> demonstrators in elizabeth city, north carolina, called for justice after a black man was shot and killed by police serving a search and arres [ chants ] protesters called for release of the shooting. -- release of body camera footage from the shooting. witnesses say andrew brown jr. was shot as he tried to drive away and was killed in his car. they say deputies fired multiple times. the chief deputy spoke with why police opened fire. >> in is an arrest warrant around felony drug charges. mr. brown was a convicted felon with a history of resisting arrests. our training and our policies indicate on the circumstances there's a high risk of danger. >> deputies linked to the shooting have been placed on ad

professor james foreman junior teaches law at yale university and is the author of the book "lockingour own: crime and punishment in black americans." thanks for joining us. these are tense times. come out, but we also have ato trial going on and a verdict expected with derek chauvin. and as we produce the show, i am very aware that three black people on average in the united states will die in the next 24 hours as a result of police actions. can you explain what the stakes are in the chauvin trial? nada: the stakes are high in many ways. we are looking at, how was the jury going to make its decision, what are they going to be talking about, thinking about, how are they taking all the information provided, and across the country and really across the world, people are waiting to see whether or not this verdict is a reflection of things to come. i think that when we look at this as the national conference of black lawyers, we look at this as something that is systemic. police violence is not just about derek chauvin. so regardless of the verdict, we have been doing this work for the p

the university -- yale university and turned it into a china watch.has been involved in government and has been anointed with the worst job in diplomacy. daniel joins us this morning. i want to go to the u.s. lisa is very much focused abroad. are we drowning in nostalgia right now? daniel: you see this across both parties. so much focus on how we get back to economic strength of the past that there are ways in which we are failing to realize the opportunities of the future. there has been this fascinating shift against what has been a pretty strong free-trade consensus across both parties for some time. the narrative you hear now is that we have done too much trade , integrated too much with the world, and that has reinforced the policy of displaced workers. we have seen this period of rising inequality. we have been retreating from the world, in fact, and trying to retreat further will only reinforce that. tom: in honor of john williamson, everybody wants to go back to when it was cozy, would it was comfortable. what is the new washington consensus?

what started as a popular class at yale university in 2018 is now a wildly successful online course availableion people have already enrolled in the seminar offered by the online platform, kand the professor sad she polled the number of people taking the class during the pandemic. let's start with the course description. it reads in this course you will engage in a series of challenges desaoeu designed to increase your own happiness. tell us more, if you would, about the course and what participants can take away from >> yeah. i think the first thing you learn is that many of the things we think make us happy don't really work. we need to get over our misconceptions about the kinds of things we need to do to be happy. if we know the right things to do, we could spend our time the right ways on the right things that are really going to improve our well-being. >> so really quickly to home in on that, what are the right things to do versus the misconceptions, very quickly? >> yeah. misconceptions are about money and changing our circumstances. but the research shows what really works is changing

think where it really happens though, that you have democrats, people on the left, people at yale university, who suddenly realized that they can beat these people up and get them to be on board with whatever their agenda is, and it is very effective. i think that is probably what is going on here. it is kind of interesting, because of course these are the same people who normally seem to be very, or claim to be very suspicious of corporations and powerful, big powerful oligarchies. they are only opposed until they can use it to their advantage. is anybody out there claiming to want or doing anything that suggests that they want to actually make it harder for legal people to cast legal votes? nobody is claiming that. in fact, all of these efforts are doing the exact opposite. they're intended to make sure that everybody gets to vote and that their vote gets counted. but if you don't have any restrictions whatsoever, if you don't have any, filters, then anybody can vote and then that means that all the legal voters, their votes get canceled. david: i'm just wondering what happens in the long

floridian, i grew up playing sports, baseball, public school kid, i was recruited to play at yale universitynever been to new england in my life. i go up there, i showed up the first day of school with jean shorts and a t-shirt which was pretty standard for the where i grew up in florida but it was not well received in new england at a place like yale. i played baseball there for four years. eventually he went to harvard law and commissioned in the navy as an officer with navy jack. i served stateside, in iraq and a number of other things in that area. i was a federal prosecutor for a time and i was elected to congress in 2012 and elected governor in 2018. with some of those experiences have showed me is the role that leadership plays in politics. mark, you and i can sit and interview candidates and they may do the conservative checklists and say all the right things, but the question is when you get into a position, whether in the congress or governorship and the pressures on and they're coming at you, are you going to have the backbone to stand up and do what's right. i think i was prepare

night to the president's speech to a joint session somehow managed to mirror the statement by yale university'ssident almost word for word. we know there is more work to be done and it read this way, we know there was much more work to be done, not more work, much more work. so the difference between tim scott was just one of degrees, he said more, and he said much more. that's the difference between the two parties, isn't it? a matter of degrees. here is the amazing thing, none of these people explain what this work is. we will have details for you coming soon. ma'khia bryant was killed unfortunately, sad, she was a child, but as she was killed, she was trying to stab another person and that's why the police officer shot her. none of that is in dispute, there's a video of it on if there was ever a justified, though sad, but justified shooting, this was it yet in their ongoing effort to divide the country along the lines of race or political class, three days ago heckled a cop in washington, d.c., over the shooting and here's how responded. >> you're going to kill me like ma'khia bryant? she ca

she's also a former fbi special agent and lecturer at yale university. thanks so much for being here with us. first of all i want to get your reaction to this, the second deadly attack on the capitol in three months. >> yes, well, i think the main question here is what is the motivation? you know, looking at this we know it's not an accident. this person rammed into the barricade injuring one law enforcement officer and killing another. and then he exited the vehicle with a knife. so clearly he had intentions. and the question is what were those intentions? were they motivated by some kind of ideology? does this fall into the terrorism bucket, or was this a lone actor acting out perhaps some frustrations or, you know, grievances against the government? and i think that's what the investigation now is seeking to uncover. >> yeah, certainly we don't know the details as you say. from what we are to glean from those who knew him best it seems to have been a lone wolf attack from someone without a larger network that could have say penetrated by law enforceme

cofounder and ceo center for policing equity, and the professor for african american studies at yale university, patrick skinner, a police officer in -- kiss officer who's been a long time advocate for the way the police this in this country. patrick, let me go to you first. you're working now as a police officer. i know you can't speak for cops, because they are more than 1 million across this country. what is your reaction? i find it remarkable, it's the first time in minnesota history, that a wakeup has been held accountable, for killing a black person. i find that just to be an incredible statement. and speaking for myself, i can only speak for myself, i was just -- there's something fundamentally wrong when so much hinges on what juror number 19 reads. the suspense, of what should have been an easy trial, it's traumatic it's tragic it's terrible, but it should not have been suspenseful, in the fact that in 2021 it is suspenseful, something is wrong. something is really really wrong. >> what do you think philip? >> i keep going back to the children who are on that stand who will have no rem

she graduated from yale university and its law school. >>> okay. let's get a check of our forecast. been talking about it all week. the rain coming this weekend. and jeff has an updated time line. >> and i know you all are excited about it. a lot of other folks are, too, just because we haven't had that much rainfall so far this season. and that's what i wanted to start off with. you can see our rainfall deficit here running anywhere from 8 inches and a little bit more than that behind in san jose, down over 12 inches in san francisco, santa rosa down over 21 inches. now the other thing that this low rain season has done for us, it's not only increased the drought, but our allergies, they just seem worse than ever. look at this. oak, sycamore and cedar. so, let's get a look at storm ranger. it is dry, if you have any plans tonight, don't expect any rainfall. you can leave that umbrella at home. and really through most of the day tomorrow, we're looking at just the cloud cover moving through. once we hit saturday night, 11:00 p.m., there's that storm system just offshore. and then th

in a case called harris against mcrae potter stewart's papers are at yale university stuart was a graduate of yale. he left his papers to yale with the stipulation that they'd be closed until the last justice. he served with retired and that was john paul stevens who retired in 2010 and the papers open and they're really interesting. we use several interesting collections of justice's papers for the book. but stewart was assigned to write the opinion for the majority was five to four in harrison against mcrae saying there's no constitutional obligation to pay for abortions for poor women. i want to read you a bit of this. so in stewart's draft of his opinion, which is in his papers and actually was published as as he wrote it he said the financial constraints that restrict an indigent woman's ability to enjoy the full range of constitutionally protected freedom of choice are the product not of governmental restrictions on access to abortions, but rather of her indigency. although congress has opted to subsidize medically necessary services generally, but not certain medically necessary abo

president's speech to the joint session somehow managed to mirror, tim scott, the statement from yale university almost word for word. we know there's more work to be done. yale statement read there's much more work to be done. not more work, much more work. difference between tim scott and that of yale is one of degrees. >> reporter: i asked mitch mcconnell if republicans are diving into perhaps political challenges by getting behind some sort of police reform. he dodged the question, but does have a lot of praise for senator scott, and the truth is on capitol hill that senator mcconnell and all republicans are taking their queues from senator scott and giving him leeway to try to come up with some sort of compromise deal with democrats. while he might be getting a lot of pressure from conservatives outside the beltway or from influential media, personalities like tucker carlson, on capitol hill, republicans are allowing tim scott to do his thing and see where it ends up, see if it is something they're able to support him in. >> i mentioned earlier, seating is limited in the house chamber for t
