Professor of government at harvard university and co-author of "how democracies die." and tammy patent. thank you for coming to "the sunday show." i found both of you in the story in the washington post this week with the headline as trump hints at 2024 comeback, democracy advocates fear a worst case scenario for the country. daniel, im going to read the quote you had in this story back to you and talk further about it. this is what got me to do this segment. we often think that what we should b...

Are you for president told more than 30,000 lies while in office, but with his latest rallies, including one scheduled in iowa next weekend, another trump presidential bid is looking increasingly likely, even as he continues to push the ultimate big lie, that the last election was somehow stolen from him. even without trump in office, its inspired more than 400 bills that would restrict voting access in 49 states, all drafted to solve a problem that doesnt even exist. millions are still under tr...

Than continuing to feed this beast and give oxygen to the lies and misinformation. >> and, daniel, last word to you in 30 seconds or less. you wrote the book. >> howie:-- "how democracies die." is it too late to stop it? >> absolutely not. a stolen election in 20 this is the biggest threat. one thing i can encourage your voters to do is look at the electoral app. if we reform that and there are bills in congress to do this, we can save ourselves. i think theres still time, but its getting very d...

3100 bills around election administration as the foundation for perpetuating this narrative that the election systems lack integrity and theyre being used not only to pass legislation but also to further efforts like what we saw in arizona with these extra legal reviews of election policies and procedures. and we are truly at a point in our history where we have to all pay very close attention to whats happening around us. >> you know, daniel, tucker carlson was over in hungary. i just want to p...
