i know what year it is. since a pro trump mob stormed the u.s. capital, an insurrection that instantly reshaped american politics. and the plot to overturn the 2020 election continues to underscore the stakes heading into our next presidential election. on friday, president biden laid out donald trump's assault on democracy in his first campaign speech of the new year. biden called trump's actions on january 6th, quote, i'm not the worst derelictions of duty by a president in american history. >> today, we are here to answer the most important question. is democracy still americas sacred cause? it's not rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical. whether democracy is still america's secret calls is the

most urgent question of our time and it's blocked the 2024 election is all about. the choice is clear. donald trump's campaign is about him, not america, not you. donald trump's campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. he's willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power. our campaign is different. from me and kamala, our campaign is about america, it's about you, it's about every age and background that occupy this country. it's about the future. >> president biden, that threat to democracy is at the center of his campaign. donald trump, the supreme court will select whether he can be on the ballot at all. i of attention but colorado supreme court that deemed trump ineligible to run for president because we engaged an insurrection on january 6th.

being called out as an insurrectionist is not stopping trump's political movement. today, trump is making the rounds in iowa, speaking to voters ahead of the state caucus is awake for monday. despite trump's sprawling scheme to hold on to power, he remains the front runner in the gop presidential primaries. so-called party of law and order, ignoring lawlessness that unfolded at the capitol on januar6th. new data from the justice department showed that rioters assauld 140 police officers during the insurrection. more than 1200 people were charged for their role on january 6th. 700 pleaded guilty, another 170 found guilty in a court of law. as for trump, he's still awaiting two trials for the part he played to prevent a peaceful transfer of power. tell the full story of january 6th is extensive. here is just a snapshot from that day. a fun poll -- phone call between then house speaker nancy pelosi and the nations of an acting attorney general.

>> they're breaking windows and going in. obviously ransacking our offices and all the rest of that. that's nothing. the concern we have about i know -- >> safety! >> that transcends everything. the fact is, on any given day, they're breaking the law and many different ways. and quite frankly, much of it at the instigation of the president of the united states. and now, if he could at least -- >> why don't you get the president to tell them to leave the capitol, mr. attorney general, and your law enforcement responsibility. i public statement, they should leave. >> it does not matter how many times you see it. it's shocking every time. in realtime, pelosi recognize the danger of having trump as that leader of the free world and it is a danger that lives on. in a new column for the atlantic, pelosi writes, quote, the threat to our democracy is real, present, and urgent. the parable of january 6th reminds us that our precious

democratic institutions are only as strong as the courage and commitment of those interest with their care. we all share responsibility to preserve american democracy, which lincoln called, quote, that last best hope of earth. joining me now, michael fanone, former met police department officer who defend that u.s. capitol threat years ago. he's now a council member for courage for america. thanks so much for being with us. what does this anniversary mean for you and our country? >> for me, personally, the anniversary really doesn't mean very much at all. we are in the midst of the fire that began on january 6th, 2021. and i'm not interested, personally, and acknowledging that day until the fight has been finished. until there is been accountability for those responsible for orchestrating the insurrection at the capitol

for inspiring so many americans to attack law enforcement officers, to terrorize members of congress and their staff, and threaten their safety and security. quite frankly, to embarrass this country on an international scale. >> when you talk about looking for, you wrote a piece in the hill today, warning about the year to come. what is it that worries you most as we approach another presidential election? >> what concerns me the most is the fact that the former president, donald trump, continues to espouse the same rhetoric, violent, political rhetoric and lies, that, like i said previously, inspires so many americans to assault the capitol. and that has never stopped. in fact, if anything, he has only ramped up that rhetoric and the aftermath of january 6th. and while we haven't seen another attack at the same scale that we witnessed, that experienced firsthand, on

january 6th, we have seen countless acts of political violence, inspired by donald trump and his sycophants in the aftermath of the worst attack on our capitol in more than 100 years. >> michael, on friday, i'm not sure if you saw this, and appeals court ruled that january 6th defendants can be held accountable for entering the capital, even if they weren't violent themselves. politico reporting, quote, that decision is a victory for that justice department in case against hundreds of defendant charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly and disruptive conduct. one of the staple charges that has been applied to nearly every member of the mob that entered the halls of congress. how does the speak tutoring deterring that mob mentality that unfolded that at the capitol? why is it important that everyone be held accountable? >> i look at everything through the prism of former law

enforcement officer. to me, accountability is the cornerstone of our criminal justice system. if you want to prevent people from committing criminal acts, they need to be held accountable. they need to be punished. so i think it's important, very important, what the department of justice has undertaken in investigating and prosecuting those responsible for committing violent acts, criminal acts on january 6th, 2021. but obviously, it doesn't end there. this is an all hands on deck effort. every institution in this country, every american, for that matter, it is responsible for ensuring the future of democracy. we have americans who have the ability to vote. the candidates like donald trump out of office. states are now taking up the debate as to whether or not an insurrectionist candidate can be a candidate at all. these are all efforts that are

required to preserve democracy. >> michael, there is what happened on january 6th, there is what's happened on the days since january 6th, and thinking specifically about the misinformation and disinformation campaigns we have seen whitewash what happened on january 6th. you yourself have become a sort of play or character in that misinformation, to information into what people have mischaracterized who you are, why you were there, what you did, as someone who, i would argue, has been a victim of that, at least head their life impacted by it, how do you think we get out from under the fact there are still a lot of americans who believe lies about what it was that happened on january 6th? who at a minimum are able to hold the truth of what you saw and experienced with your own eyes? >> i've gotten beyond -- i'm not really interested anymore and trying to convince americans about what happened

on january 6th. at this point, three years out, all the evidence has been put forth, the january 6th committee did an excellent job in investigating and presenting that results of their investigation to the american people. i'm just interested in defeating the maga movement and ensuring and holding those responsible for the insurrection accountable. >> michael fanone, i am so very grateful for you and for your time. thank you for being with us. i want to bring and to our competition brian stelter, special correspondent for vanity fair. author of network of lies, the epic saga of fox news, donald trump, and the battle for american democracy. brian, today donald trump called january 6th defendants hostages. he continues to sow doubt in our institutions. heading into this election, what do we need to know about the power of lies and the responsibility to highlight the truth?

>> number one, this started within minutes of that riot on january 6th. and now three years later, we are still grappling with those lies. right? -- treated by many people, including many people and politics, as normal. i think what we're going to see it now, now that it's 2024, is it's not normal. it's going to get more attention. it's going to get more news coverage and it's going to be recognized as the aberration, and frankly as a shame it is. you are talking to michael about the lies of the last three years. we are those lies come from? from a place of guilt. they come from a place of shame. they come from a place of horror about what actually did happen today. and here we are, three years later. we see washington post polling show that one and three republicans, maybe a little and that, really actually claim the fbi instigated the riot, the insurrection. that means there is a big chunk of republicans who don't believe that lies. who aren't willing to go along with trump's claims. i think that's actually a positive sign on this anniversary.

there is actually a winnable group, right? of moderates, of republicans that have not totally succumbed to the favorite swamp of the january 6th rewriting. and dare i say that might be a positive note. >> indeed. as we are looking for them. let's talk about that figure swamp. on friday, listen to what a trump voter in iowa told nbc news about january 6th. >> we weren't allowed to learn anything. we were not allowed to know. any of that, what really happened. and what's his name, turner? on fox news. he just quit. but he had tapes of what happened on january 6th. but he was fired or something. whoever is in charge of that. so, that truth did not come out. we don't really know what happened. >> okay, so this voter, referring to tucker carlson, you hear a lot of the confusion

there, this since that somehow have been cut off from the truth. how does the conservative media ecosystem, including fox news, a lot these conspiracy theories to take hold and then to flourish? >> that sense of a cover-up, that so interesting, the way she talks about the cover-up. we know tucker colson was fired for dozens of raisins. and it was not because he hit general six types. to be clear. that mystery, that sense of mystery has contributed to information vacuum and has contributed to this possibility, this conspiracy theory attacking. when i hear that, i think about the 2020 election, which of course led to this insurrection at the capitol today. the same thing happened at fox and both regards. -- fox told the truth about how bad it was. -- earlier than other networks. which is so --

donald trump was obsessively watching fox from his white house dining room. he saw earlier than the one pm hour there was an attack underway. and later, after a fox report the truth that day, they capitulated push the again to the audience and talk accountants breathless lies about it being a false flag operation. so once again, fox is caught between the truth and what the audience wants to hear. to underscore, there is a subset of the audience that has not totally fallen for this. in a persuasion effort that now needs to be underway. that's what president biden is due, and by the way. biden has to provide offerings. democrats have to provide offerings for independents, moderate, casual republicans who don't want to go full truth or. >> off-ramps, promotion -- structure, something that and have a path towards a more saint, realistic view of what allows him to come back into happened that day. the fold. of only got about 30 seconds left. luckily you're a tv person, so you know exactly what that means, when i say for tech. in this election, critical we frame the stakes in front of focusing on the odds. how crucial is the role of the

media as we kick off our coverage^ >> generally six, for example, we use the state is shorthand -- but general sixth was actually amongst one project. a months-long coup attempt. and something that remains relevant today because of a denialism. so i think the challenge for the press is to center the truth while explaining were these lies come from and why these lies faster. we have to wrap the truth and a sandwich, while we're acknowledging that disinformation and frankly the craziness that's out there to the public. >> brian stelter. your first time on the show, i love that it's our last show -- >> i'm going to see you in the mornings! i'm going to be waking up early for your new show. >> i'm going to be calling you in the mornings. you gave new meaning to better late than never. thank you for a time. next, they january 6th insurrection be front and center of what could be a momentous decision for the supreme court. comes as republicans make your final case to voters in iowa. michael steele and julián castro breaking down the stakes for the party and country. but first, to richard louis the other big stories we are tracking this hour on msnbc.

richard? thank you. an update. in the last hour, secretary of defense but also releasing a statement about his hospitalization this week. austin saying he understands the concerns about transparency is running his elective procedure and the subsequent forest days in the icu at walter reed medical center. a u.s. official confirms to nbc, the pentagon did not overrule the president or senior officials at the nsc for four days. austin pledged to, quote, do better in the future. the pentagon has often resumed his duties for the evening. he remained hospitalized saturday. and a strong winter storm burlington on the northeast. new england and mid-atlanta expect around a foot of snow. other parts could see high winds and freezing rain. officials warned residents to stay upright and prepare for possible power outages. more american voices right after this break.

arguments about trump on february 8th, but some critics suggest a justices already made up their minds. >> i have to say, if you are skeptical about this court, there is a good reason to be skeptical. they have shown they're not a conservative court. they're not a court that feels bound by precedent. if the court follows the constitution, as it claims to it shouldn't be that difficult occasion. but i have to say, i don't have a lot of confidence in this court. >> joining me lisa rubin former rnc chairman and my co-host on our new msnbc show that weekend, michael steele. liza, you and i, you hopped in the chair as this news broke yesterday. we've now had more than 24 hours to digest it. help us understand the overall timeline for the supreme court decision. >> the supreme court, alicia, let's go backwards. the supreme court is going to hold oral argument on february 8th. and while that seems like a very compressed timeline, particularly by supreme court standards, you and i also know a lot can happen between then and now. not only politically and that

we have iowa and new hampshire, prior to that, but legally as well. between then and now, next week, donald trump will face the d. c. circuit court of appeals, or he's gonna press his claims of immunity against the federal election interference charges against him. the next week, he'll go back to court, here in new york, with e. jean carroll on his second defamation case brought by her against him. this time, she's seeking tens of millions of dollars. so the donald trump who will appear at the supreme court on february 8th could be a donald trump who's not only weakened politically, but perhaps legally as well. and much more likely to face trial on the federal charges then he is right now today with that federal election interference case currently stayed. >> michael, you have a colorado secretary of state say voters are going to be the ones who protect our democracy, even if supreme court it does not. take a listen. >> no matter what happens, whether he's on that ballot or

disqualified from the ballot, that's not the end of this saga. democracy will not die because some court decision. americans have all the power in the world at the ballot box next year. and i am so confident in the american voter, and i'm sure that will hold on to democracy past the next election. >> michael steele, do you share that confidence? >> i do, to a point. and the point is really around the idea of what donald trump is ultimately doing in this moment. he is steadily weakening the system from within. he is stressed testing it at every turn possible, with all of these, you know, appeals, last minute. out of the blue, around nothing. in some cases, say mainly knowing he probably won't whale -- when the challenge, but it slows it down and --

in the end, two things can be true at once. we can go on and have this legal process unfold, as i think it should. and at the same time, rely ultimately on the voters who will go to ballot boxes across the country and november to make your choice for president, whether donald trump is on that ballot or not. and so, i think this is part of the process that is difficult to really kind of get your head around. because you have so many things compressed, in one instance going on at the same time. and the question is exactly how folks are taking all of this. in that remains to be seen at the ballot box. but right now, what we do know is donald trump is trying his level best to waken it enough, create that doubt, so that one juror and some of this upcoming cases gives him the past he

seeks. >> lisa, that attack on institutions, special counsel jack smith has responded to trump's filings to hold him in contempt of court. how do you expect that power struggle between smith and trump to play out? >> i don't expect judge chutkan to rule for contempt. i think it was a silly and perhaps even important thing for objects mitt to continue to file a motion in that case while the case is state. that haven't been said, it's certainly not worthy of contempt. and the motion that trump filed, asking judge chutkan to hold him and others and his office in contempt was borderline hysterical and done solely for political purposes, not legal purposes. that motion is not going to be countenanced by that judge. but she was never the audience in the first place, alicia. >> another headline that caught my eye. nbc reporting that trump won't be able to use the, quote, idiot defense against his january 6th charges. talk me through that.

>> a number of people, as our colleague ryan riley has noted in his reporting, as defendants on january sixth characters have said i was useful idiot. i was a pawn in don trump's larger game. i did not understand what was going on that day or i felt that i was called by the president to come to washington on january 6th and that he was essentially excusing if not directly calling for all the things that went down that day, including the violence. trump himself obviously can't say that, because he is with a dozen former and chief. he's the person on whom these useful idiots were prayed, essentially. so in his case, he can't use the defense. but i want to point out, alica, to you and our viewers, there is a close cousin of that argument the former president might be able to avail himself of. that is the advice of counsel defense. donald trump was scheduled to have to tell judge chutkan and jack smith's office, later this month, whether he'll advance a defense that he was solely

relying on the advice provided to him by certain of his lawyers. and if he chooses that defense, that is essentially like saying, and good faith, i had lawyers telling me i had a chance here, and that there was something to the john eastman, kenneth chesebro arguments about mike pence and his power under the constitution. i did not willfully, flagrantly violate federal statutes. there might be something there. and we'll have to wait and see. >> lisa rubin, my friend as always, thank you so much for taking the time to be with us on what is our last show day. michael steele, you're sticking with me. next, the stakes of the court's decision and sharp focus. the iowa caucus is right around the corner. and we go to texas, where the state republican leadership prepares for battle with the doj over its extreme new law targeting immigrants. that's great. i know, i've bee telling everyone. baby: liberty. oh! baby: liberty.

the first caucus of the 2024 primary, donald trump is defending his actions on january 6th, calling the effort to hold him accountable a, quote, witch hunt. at an event last night, trump urged several thousand supporters to try for him on caucus night. claiming it will be, quote, the most important vote of their entire lives. the former president most appears to be strengthening his ties with far-right figures, laura bloomer, apartment champion of january 6th conspiracy theories road with trump aboard his private plane and iowa yesterday. joining us now to unpack all of this, former hug secure julián castro, he was a 2020 presidential candidate and msnbc political analyst michael steele is back with. us, michael proposed of the audience who don't know laura loomer has worked for alex jones, she a spread conspiracy theories about school shootings and of course the january 6th attacks. what do you make of the fact you have a former president,

current gop front runner, inviting her on to his plane? >> i don't know why people are surprised. i mean, this is all part of the same mix. he fades her, she feeds his flock. with all of the, you know, crazy bs that comes out of trump's world. and he takes it back in. so there is this symbiosis here, that we can't lose sight of. it's part of the food chain. so yeah, laura's on the plane. of course she is on the plane. i'd be surprised if she wasn't on the plane. the reality is, we need to beat less surprised and understand how all these things fall and to place to set up what will be a very difficult contest this fall for the american people. these symbols matter, you know. having this connection with her matters to trump in ways that will matter for him at the ballot box in november. >> i agree, julián, there should be very little that surprises us at this point. we have to hope that truth, at

the same time you hold that none of this can become normal. we can't look and say this is normal. it's part of the challenge we've been talking about, which is what happens in iowa. this isn't normal, this isn't just a horse, right candidates vying for the same thing. no. this is a way of thinking. this is trumpism on phone display. donald trump is leading in the polls. but if you look at the polls, trumpism is leading. is iowa going to tell us, julián, not just about the state of the gop -- we know the state of the gop -- but the state of this country? >> i think it will tell us how much the country has changed, how much he has normalized that extremism within republican politics. in the eight years since 2016. he's leading, still, in the real clear politics average by about 35 points. and part of the problem, alica, in terms of the normalization, has been usually and a primary, your opponents would point out

help bunkers you are. but it seems, like in this primary, everybody else has been running for vice president, trying to become trump's vice president. and up until very recently, not pointing out how foregone he is. with the exception of chris christie, you know, and a couple of others have dropped out who were never gonna win. desantis and haley has made opponents have not done. it so that has the effect of normalizing it even further and i think iowa is going to tell us whether the gop has an effect completely cut off the rails. i think, unfortunately, the answer is that it never has. >> michael, on friday you head nikki haley telling nbc news she would maybe consider ron desantis as her running mate, while saying she's not running to be vp herself. desantis responded saying he's not interested in being anyone 's vp either. again, none of this is going to happen. we are just having a lot of

very, very theoretical conversations here. and yet, it sort of points to the generalized disarray. >> it does. look, this sort of matchbook game we are seeing play out, all the excitement around nikki haley, is the same excitement people had around ron desantis a year ago. the scent excitement of the head around tim scott a year ago. and as the secretary just pointed out, donald trump is ahead by 35 points. so, there. so all this talk about, well, my vice presidents going to be -- you need to figure out how you are going to be donald trump, because you clearly haven't figured that out yet. because he's up by 35 points. so, you know, this is part of the game. folks still thinking that something magical is gonna happen in iowa. something phantasmagoria is gonna happen in new hampshire. and somehow donald trump is going to sheepishly go off and to that great good night after being bested by nikki haley.

on what planet, earth one through 100, does donald trump just walk away from anything after being beaten? this is the man who's been fighting prosecutors. you think he's not afraid to take on the nominee of the republican party if it's not him? so, look. this is the reality that the republican party has created for itself. from the chairman on down. she and others are culpable for this hot mess. that will blow up in november. so, that reality for donald trump is to keep doing what he's doing and the reality for the rest of us is to defeat his behind at every turn. period. >> julián, that's what i think you saw for president biden coming out and, just looking past his primary. right? making a very general election argument about what is inevitably going to be at stake. yes, that is about the supposition that donald trump will be the republican nominee.

but even if you lived in some fantasmic, alternate reality, president biden knows he will be running against trumpism. that is all but guaranteed. so the argument about democracy itself, it holds, regardless of who the candidate would be. >> it absolutely does. that was a very smart speech. it was a well-timed speech. i thought an impassioned speech, and an effective won by president biden yesterday. and it really laid out the stakes in a way that makes the decision in november, very clear. and you're right, alica, even if it's trump not. let's say it's haley, let's say it's desantis bicep maricle. i don't think it's going to happen, but let's say it. it all of them have already embraced trumpism. all of them have made excuses towards the january 6th crowd. all of them have spoken at different points in the same

fascistic, dictatorial way, although not as extreme. but in the same way with the same note that trump has sometimes. and in order to hold your face, they know they need to do the right now. so there is no telling what they would do, as well, if they were actually president to hold on to power. that means that those stakes that biden laid out are there no matter who the republican nominee is. it was smart of him to do that. and i hope he continues to do it. because he needs to keep reminding people what the stakes are, all the way up to election day. >> secretary castro, you're sticking with me. michael, thank you. we're going to be sync but lot of utility. it's our morning show. it starts next weekend. you can see me, michael, and summit center's towns in on that weekend, every saturday and sunday, eight 8 am eastern. set those alarms now, starting generating. next, the justice department sues the state of texas over its new policy to police to indiscriminately arrest immigrants in the state. at the top of the hour, growing concerns facing ivy league schools and their leaders, professor sean hopper, who

detect this: living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is a complete hiv treatment for some adults. no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. if you have hepatitis b, don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking dofetilide. this can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. if you have a rash or allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. serious or life-threatening lactic acid buildup and liver problems can occur. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. dovato may harm an unborn baby. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety.

detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato. this week, that department of justice should take us over a new law allowing state animal place to arrest migrants who illegally crossed the border. the law which governor abbott signed last month also makes it a criminal offense to enter the state illegally.

it's one of the strictest state emigration enforcement laws in this country. but the idea argues the bills unconstitutional, human rights groups echoed those same concerns in a lawsuit filed last month. they said the tech is putting us the human rights of people to seek asylum. for more had secured julián castro is back with. julián, first, that department of justice is colin this law at texas unconstitutional. you've got immigrants rights group saying it's going to do to racial profiling. remind us what it stake here. >> what's at stake here, really, it's a couple of things. number one, a law that was passed is before in texas that truly does have the potential to lead to a sizable amount of racial profiling. texas is a state that is 40% latino or latina. this bill empowers law

enforcement to essentially stop folks who they think might be veer undocumented. and it gives them quite a considerable latitude to do that. that is a recipe for disaster in a state like texas. and secondly, this is about the supremacy clause of the constitution. time after time, the u.s. has said, the federal government has authority to deal with an aggression freshman and lost, knocks that governments. folks remember they did it for instance and 2012, after arizona passed show me your paper's law, we s. b. 1070.. and it's very likely the supreme court buddha that here again was taken. however, it's important to know, what's changed since 2012, is this court has become much more conservative. with jobs, they throw at. roe they threw out affirmative action with the harvard case. could this be the next shoe to drop? and they actually empower states with more immigration enforcement? i don't think so and i hope not. but it's also at stake here. >> julián, i'm so glad you talked about s. b. 1070.. because you and i watched, we came up during the ten years

where arizona evolved politically as a result of s. b. 1070., as a result of that lot of young latinos in the state whose take this isn't the type of state i want to live in. i don't want to live in a state where i am targeted because of my race. i don't want to live in a state where we are criminalizing immigrants. i wonder if you believe there is this same potential here, in texas, for there to be a real grassroots uprising against what it is that governor abbott is trying to do, this being one example. >> i do believe it has that potential. i think it depends on what actually happens. if things think gets in and it goes into effect, and the cases that come out of, it that are clear examples of that kind of profiling, texas is already moving toward the center. a lot of people don't realize

that or don't believe it. but during the trump era, democrats gained considerably to state senate seat, 12 state house seat, two congressional seats, and the gap in presidential elections has closed by about ten points in the last ten or so years. so it's moving toward democrats, the state of texas. and something like this could accelerate. and >> that backdrop of what abbott is doing, house speaker mike johnson chaperoning 60 house republicans to the u.s. southern border. congress trying to work -- ahead of government funding deadlines in january and february. we have shifted so far away from the actual answer here, secretary. we are not even in the realm of having the correct conversation about what would be necessary to fix these core issues. >> i mean, that's right, alicia. the biden administration has been requesting, has put forward requests for more funding than would help at ports of entry.

that would help to protect people's asylum claims and get him an answer in if they don't get a solid, get in on their way more quickly. would address the root causes of migration. republicans just ignore it. they do up dog and pony show at the border. they try and beat biden over the head for political purposes, to try to keep this issue alive and use it in november of 2024. they're not but, actually, and worse and solve this problem. they're interested in political theater and scoring political points with their base. trying to juice them up and get them out of the polls in november. >> security castor, it was important to me and our team that you be our final guest on american voices. you have said in this year more than any other guest host, give me time back with my family. i appreciate every time you have hopped on a plane from sunny san antonio, to come here to new york city. from me and the team, thank you so much. thank you for being part of the show. >> the pleasure was all mine and congratulations on your new show. you are super talented and i'm looking for to watching it. thank you for the opportunity. i appreciate it. >> you are not allowed to make me cry. thank you so much. up next, our final thoughts as we say goodbye to american voices. be hard, even with a statin.

times change and so too haircuts. we launched this show, as you know it what does, nine and sprinting, and this logo more than three years ago. but months before that, with our teams working at other parents kitchens, with spotty wifi, with children asleep in their laps, with pets blocking their laptops, or risking it in the building, masking up, or at

my case, broadcasting from an unheated, un air conditioned garage. we as a team found a way to cover two historic making stories. the global pandemic and the fight for the soul of this nation. the fall of 2020 took us to florida where we put the spotlight on hispanic voters. wasted up a lot of the locations on election. it gave way to an insurrection we are still grappling with to the state. the months that followed the mountain weber witness. american voices was among the first media outlets to report on hate crimes against the aapi community. we had coverage feet away from uvalde, texas off to a climate brutally massacred 19 children and teachers in the deadliest school shooting in texas history. we were the first english language television show to interview -- one of the first moms to be separated from her children under trump's family separation policy and one of the first to be reunited by the biden administration's reunification efforts.

we pressed leaders on everything from the student debt to immigration, to economic initiatives, to threats to democracy. and we enjoyed talking with many celebrities about the influence they wield over culture and over politics, small p and capital p, and their efforts to engage voters in the democratic process. we really tried to be good on the promise of the show's name. to elevate the voices of lived experiences of americans who are most impacted by the decisions of those in power. parents whose trans kids are being bullied by politicians. abortion providers, who are not sure how much longer they are going to be able to provide their patients with much needed medical care. individuals have come to the united states for a safety and refuge, hoping to weave themselves into the fabric of this nation, what makes america truly great. this is our last episode of american voices, but we're taking that ethos, centering those who are most impacted, bearing witness, keeping the focus on the stakes, not the odds, with us wherever we go.

for me, that mission continues next sunday on the weekend. nd american voices and shows like this are possible without a team who commit themselves to the service work of journalism, sharing news and information in a way that inspires, hopefully compels you to tune in week after week. working every saturday and sunday night, witness a lot of family gatherings. we miss friends weddings. we forgo a normal schedule because we believe, so deeply in what it is good to hear. i want to share my endless particular individuals who produce every element of the show. to our guests, who showed up to inform us week in and week out, often during their time, thank you, guys. and to each one of you, for allowing us into your homes during the day's remarkable times. thank you for watching american voices. ♪ ♪ ♪
