When I was 16, I had an awesome teacher, Mrs.. Peterson. She changed the entire direction of my life. She convinced me that free speech is the essence of democracy. Think about it. Because of free speech, we can all be here today sharing our beliefs and expressing our opinions. Free speech is what separates us from totalitarian regimes. This was so important to me that I became a human rights lawyer. And for the last 30 years, I've been standing up for people who speak out. I truly believed lawyers protecte ...

I really think this comes down to something super fundamental about us as humans. We're the only species that can live in the Amazon and the Arctic. And the reason we can do that is we can acclimate to anything.It's the superpower of our species. Put us wherever and we will acclimate. People acclimate to famine and to war.Part of our job in the discourse is to resist that normalization. Hi everyone, this is huge. My guest this week is my other half on big nights at this network.We make up one of television' ...

This was Trump's net worth when he went into office, $2.3% billion. And this is his net worth now, just two years later. $6.5% billion. >> So, we've never had a president running businesses while in office. And so, decisions are being made not based on what's good for Americans, but what's good for his company. For example, why did the Saudi government invest $2 billion in Jared Kushner's fund? It wasn't because they just like Jared Kushner. It was because Kushner is Trump's son-in-law. And so my biggest co ...

Let me just get your reaction to this. This this was a war that was ratcheting up before we got that Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act, before we got this news from the Virginia Supreme Court. Where where do you see things going from here.It does seem like we could see an America where there were no contested districts across these great United States. Well, I think, you know, David, we're in the early innings of what'll probably become a redistricting war. And, I think we've gotten here becau ...

fundamentally altered the architecture of American elections and setting the clock on democracy back by six decades. First, the U .S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, the crown jewel of the civil rights movement in a case brought by a January 6th participant.And yesterday, the Virginia Supreme Court threw out a voter-approved redistricting referendum that was meant to counter aggressive Republican gerrymandering elsewhere in the country. Together, these two decisions have turbocharged racist redi ...
