All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It was a big day for the future of american democracy. We will get to that significant action in a moment, but before we do, just give me a second to go back to the context of what happened in the last election. I think it has been obscured by the sabotage and disinformation and violent insurrection unlike anything weve seen in the history of the country stoked by the former president. Remember this, last november, right, once in a cent ray pandemic, we got a glimpse of what a full or fuller participation version of our democracy would look like because due to the pandemic, state after state, jurisdiction after jurisdiction, and i should note this is both democratic and republican there were fights over this. But across the board, more or less on the whole in the aggregate, all these places did something praise worthy and novel. They took steps to make it easier to vote. They did this by expanding eligibility for mail
Aggregate, all these places did something praiseworthy and novel. They took steps to make it easier to vote. They did this by expanding eligibility for mailin voting and early voting and adding drop boxes for ballots right . Theres Public Health concern. You dont want everyone crowding in on election day so people found ways to just make it easier to vote so you wouldnt have that. And the results are clear. It worked. Turnout was the highest it had been in 120 years. Nearly 67 of eligible voters cast a ballot. And also there was no uniform drubbing of one party by the other. It was not a blowout. It was a competitive election. Yes, joe biden won by a healthy margin. 7 million votes. 70 plus Electoral College votes. But remember republicans gained seats in the house. They want some key senate rates right . Now rather than looking at that outcome and thinking wow, we can be a Competitive Party even in high turnout elections which would have been a totally rational conclusion. Republican
Great question. I wanted to write a book that would be a first draft of the history of the long epidemics for the year of covid and beyond but that would speak to an interested reader, not just a specialist in the field. There are lots of specialists in the field and i thought my valueadded might be to translate from specialists in the field to reader who are fascinate by the blizzard of legal issues that werent really on most peoples anda until now. We never thought about pt epidemics but think about them now, particularly what we can learn from them andhat do we know when its going to be over. I want to begin, john, if i can, really at the end of your book, and then ill pivot book at the end of our interview to ask you more but this question. You write, america has two histories, one ugly,he other far more appealing. In the months and years ahead, americans will hold the power between them. Lets hope the make the right choice. Im going to be asking you more but what that right choice
The race drug. Its going to be many, many months before there will be adequate vaccine available throughout the world for the whole population to be in the russian military. Start a de Mining Operation in the nagornokarabakh region. If its a peacekeeping mission in the area gathers pace visited, the site of the operation will break next to the city, full of returning refugees, people who will be scarred by the war. People are still in shock and fearful for the future. The last thing they need is more explosions. Good morning. Thanks for joining us here on out international. We begin stateside for a white house shakeup is under way the General Services administration which oversees access to federal agencies has triggered a formal transition process to a joe biden presidency.

Its going to be many, many months before there will be a world war and they agreed to cooperate on the transition. Either thanks for joining us, this russian peacekeepers have started a de Mining Operation in the disputed nagornokarabakh region. Explosive devices left behind from the recent conflict still pose a threat to the local population and recently killed an azeri soldier as well as injuring a russian serviceman. Aunties brancas the visited the site of one clearance operation. The sheer intensity of this war, the sheer quantity of me sells ammunition bombs used, are astounding. The sad truth is that it will take years to find it, make safe every unexploded munition footage visited by john. Raining cluster bombs and cities and towns and in the garden a car buck sparked outrage, but adds, rage dissipates and evaporates. Cluster bombs dont process so we are ready for anything, especially air, drop bombs and cluster munitions, rounds, or drops too low. We dont have enough Rotation S
