单集简介 ...

President Donald Trump is obsessed with the past. Last night, Trump gave a primetime address about his favorite subject: the 2020 election, which he did not win. But as we have just celebrated America’s 250th birthday, many of us are thinking a lot about the past – and what our history has to do with the future of our country. Heather Cox Richardson is a history professor at Boston College and the author of the Substack “Letters from an American.” We talked about America’s past, what historical moments remind her most of right now, and why – despite everything – she’s hopeful about the future. And in headlines, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin gives a White House briefing doubling down on Trump’s election claims, the US expands its attacks in what feels like the never-ending war against Iran, and federal officials have identified a source of the outbreak of the diarrhea-causing parasite cyclospora.

  • The Constitution is a really strong document that is based in tripwires, really.

  • I mean, we call them checks and balances, but the idea is to prevent the rise of somebody like Donald Trump.

  • And I hear people say, we need to throw out the Constitution.

  • And my answer to that is, no, we need to enforce the Constitution.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is One Today, the show that loves watching Health

  • and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

  • Face his worst enemy.

  • His own words.

  • Here he is with CNN's Casey Hunt yesterday.

  • You have gained notoriety for your skepticism about vaccines.

  • And over the summer in an interview, you said, quote, there's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.

  • Do you still believe that?

  • I never said.

  • So stop me.

  • We have the clip.

  • Please play the clip.

  • I just talked about that the media slanders you by calling you an anti-vaxxer.

  • And you've said that you're not anti-vaccine.

  • You're pro-safe vaccine.

  • Difficult question.
