isis. isis, you know, when that became the hyperfocus of this entire country in 2014, it was when the killed americans, tragically. and i am not minimizing the loss of any american life, but what is it about our politics and society that a terrorist organization can kidnap and kill for americans entering this country completely upside down? i remember even early in the obama administration, we were in the depths of a financial isis. we have a hundred 50,000 troops in failing wars. there is a christmas day bomber who did not even succeed in hurting anybody except himself, letting his underwear on fire. it consumed our media for weeks. this is why am talking about this kind of mindset. you can have the best strategies in the world, but if the politics of this country that congress responds to, that media responds to -- it is hardwired to be afraid of certain things and not others. -- to quoteg to do my old boss -- stupid stuff like going to war after war in the middle east area -- middle east. kal: i don't think you are directly quoting your boss. i'm not going to defend that position vociferously, but isn't part of the issue that people fear that if you do not react strongly, you will embolden? so at bottom, there is a deterrence rationale and ability rationale. overboard,gree we go but it's not like being hit by lightning. i would say here is, how many americans are killed by gun violence in this country tomorro

isis. isis, when this became hyper focus of this entire country, it was when they killed four americans. tragically and i'm not minimizing the loss of any american life but what is it about our politics in society that terrorist organizations can kidnapped and killed four americans andturn this country completely upside down ? i remember even early in the obama administration we were in the midst of a financial crisis and we got 180,000 troops in failing war and you had the christmas day bomber who didn't even succeed in hurting anybody except himself, letting hisunderwear on fire and consumed our media andpolitics for a week . thisis what i'm talking about t , this kind of mindset . you can have the best rant strategies in the world but if the politics of this country congress response to, that the media response to his hardwired to be afraid of certain things and not others , you're going to do to quote my old boss stupidstuff . like going to war after war in themiddle east . and. >> i don't think you're quoting your boss if i remember right but can i just interject on that, i'm not going to defend that position vociferously but isn't part of the issue people here that oif you don't react strongly you will embolden and so i the deterrence rationale and a credibility rationale, i totally agree we go overboard but it's not like being hit by lightning. the. >> what i'd say here is that how many americans are killed by gun violence in this country . llclearly americans and the resilient. too much so in my view. we can be resilient to tens of thousands of americans getting killed by weapons that we know that if we just move those weapons, if you look at other countries that wouldn't happen . what is it ouacceptable that tens of thousands of americans get killed by gun violence in countries but it's unacceptable or americans killed in themiddle east . there's something, that happens because politicians. >> and by the way, to the question, it's all the things you said. it's a politics in which after 9/11 americans were told by their leaders that terrorism can wipe us out.t. they'll get nuclear weapons and wipe us out. that was the rationale for the iraqwar . it wasn't true. it's the media that loves to cover scary stories about brown people trying to kill americans, to put it very bluntly. and just every time i terrorist popped up it was like a herd that they're going to cover that. it's a lot easier to cover than climate change. paris for the paris talks around climate change, we kept getting thisquestion what's the big address, isis or climate change . which is an insane course climate change but that was a controversial thing to say . in our media environment. our education system i think is the least appreciated of this and i absolutely agree and unfortunately i'm not a next for but something as borough in our education system, that let us here and this one, all the smarter people about this can figure this out but there is something about how americans , their basic understanding of history and the world and ndi'm not saying this, i don't want to come across but we're just not on the kind of ... the fact that america as the only country in the world that has a major political party that does not believe that climate change exists. that denies the reality of thescience . that's directly linked to the fact that there are americans who refuse to wear masks. something is wrong in our education system where science and fact are not viewed as science andfact . >> you can stop there but thatquestion is the whole ball

and his companions who led the fight against isis so these are the to keep people gentle soul in money i will unwind those who fought isis and defeated isis in iraq and also in syria and this if this is the very same isis that the united states and its regional allies whether it was turkey saudi arabia the emirates all of them and israeli regime they're all supporting isis out idea of the other extremist groups of these 2 men were he to defeating those who are carrying the black flag whether those isis well i the head there is far as you're concerned as far as iraq is concerned iraq of course voted to expel the u.s. troops soon after this repercussions for it but it's still not happened so what tangible repercussions has the u.s. suffered because of this and what should happen in your view. well i think the americans are going to see the pressure build up against it across the board in the region and it casts a catastrophic economic situation that we see in the united states and among its allies and more importantly in this region countries in this region are having a very tough time the saudis are spending money like there is no tomorrow

address al qaeda and isis and the threats we face, because they both remain active that's to the u.s. more on thee is isis side of the coin versus the al qaeda side of the coin. isis grabbed headlines in 2014 with its over-the-top barbarism. what i think is often overlooked and what people don't realize is that al qaeda is goal since inception in the 1980's was to create caliphate. thiss on record saying over and over again. it is in their literature, their media, the propaganda, and they say it all the time. i think you have to take that into effect that is there overreaching goal. the capitalized on al qaeda's drive for quest to build caliphate. they claimed they could bring to fruition the original mission. and today al qaeda and isis remain locked in the competition across many different battlefield, where they are waging insurgencies to clear out order toing political bring a new islamic with sharia law and a basis for a caliphate. when you explain it, that is why i think it is in overarching mission, that explains why we see threats from west africa to afghanistan to this day. you can identify the groups in those areas and you can show that their main goal i

isis in syria. despite our discussion, which was critically important and needed to be done people did that should be given enough a lot of credit for it. you'll know that isis is on the rebound. in the middle east. it is reconstituting. isis attack in enright are on the rise. in iraq predict including in just a few weeks ago. just an hours drive from baghdad. and in the authority recently arrested semite isis to conduct an assassin in germany and already acquired weapons they were in the process of acquiring explosives when they were arrested. if this is just me that isis may be the process of rebuilding. and they have capabilities in europe and devastating effects in terrace in 2015 and 2016. the second thing you worry a great deal about his al qaeda in afghanistan. the taliban today is militarily and politically stronger than it any time since 911. and i believe the telamon is peace negotiations with the united states as shown is exactly what we want to hear in order to encourage us to leave the country. i don't believe what they're saying about what their intentions are. in fact i believe that their intention is to keep absolutely capable is to overthrow the current afghan government and reestablishing dictatorship. na

isis was founded, when they start reaching out to westerners in english, one of the very first videos they disa voiceover of al-awlaki giving this 2006 speech and praise the establishment0. isi and saying things that were the same as what isis is saying. one of the only -- he is mentioned in a couple of -- mentioned in weed that -- they managed to kind of keep him onboard because they recognize, this guy is so important to our western audience we can't throw the baby out with the bath water. and awe the outtriche westerners is very influenced by him. there's a concept that isis used to attract and create an identity crisis, refer to the degree zone or the gray area and stay isis is in gray zone and say in the united states, in the west, muslims occupy the gray zone, this area between right and wrong, between the west and islam, where we're fighting the clear war taking place and this gray area where all these western muslims are and have not taken a side, sitting on the fence. our job as a terrorist group is to force that decision on them through acts of violence texas some risk the gray zone, make it impossible for muslims to make the minds up. extremists want you to make your mind up. don't care what necessarily side you

were -- at times there was the belief that russia was doing this so the taliban would battle isis, to keep isis out of russia and to keep them somewhat contained up towards the north and eastern parts of the country. but if, in fact, they were doing it with the express intent of going after americans and going after coalition, then that adds an entire different element of seriousness to this discussion. that's what we're hoping that we get some kind of clarity on here, steve. >> courtney, we are short on time but quickly, because this is an important point, i just want to get you on this. whether the president knew about this before these reports, you have his spokeswoman today saying he wasn't told but seeming with the language to leave open the possibility it was in this briefing document. what is your understanding of whether the president had any knowledge of this, of the intelligence community looking into this, before these reports over the weekend? >> so we just don't know, but we do know a couple of facts here. one is raw intelligence, especially something at this level of significance,

isis? >> definitely an important strike against isis. he is a longtime member of al qaeda in iraq and targeting their leadership is critically important for our counterterrorism efforts. counterterrorism relies on human sources. that's how we determine where these targets are located hence the war word for justice money. >> with all that is going on in our country, isis has become an afterthought to the average american was from a resources perspective house the war on turbine compromised by the protests we are seeing in the streets and juul -- covid-19? >> i don't think so. our own intelligence community and militaries extremely focused on conducting those counterterrorism operations which keep our homeland safe. just yesterday christopher ray was talking about the number of terrorist plots the fbi has stopped. our enemies, our adversaries are not stopping efforts to target us in the homeland and overseas and that's why we need to continue these important operations. isis, we destroyed their so-called caliphate that they are recruiting followers in cyberspace and melt into an insurgency in those failed states, syria and parts of iraq. >> let's switch to a different topic, the president saying he's going to move some us troops from germany to poland, listen to what he said about this earlier. >> poland is one of the few countries fulfilling their obl

about isis i mean what does that mean for them right was interesting because when it comes to isis the u.s. has said recently that their only reason for being in iraq is because they want to defeat isis but at the same time the group didn't rise to power until after the u.s. had already been occupying iraq for more than a decade but now they're coming back and saying our wait a 2nd let's pull back as long as there's not a resurgence of isis and it's interesting because as we've seen reports have said that the group has been ramping up attacks in rural parts of iraq over the last year and they go on to say that both the frequency and character. the attacks have been steadily increasing and there is data that suggests that the islamic state is moving skilled fighters to the area from syria to stoke and new insurgency and we seem to see more support for isis when the citizens of iraq are unhappy with their government but at the same time the iraqi government has the full support of the u.s. so if there are any changes made in that government to make the citizens happy then that could receive backlash from the u.s. and they could want to have a bigger role in the country what about the n

"the washington post" reports esper made the decision to disarm the national guard this week without consulting the white house even though the president had encouraged them to be armed. joining me now former presidential envoy for global coalition to defeat isisgurk and "los angeles times" white house reporter ely stockels. brett, you have served many presidents in both parties. i'm interested to hear your reflection on what it means that our nation's top national security leaders came out and spoke out so forcefully against this president this week. >> kasie, thanks. i think it's really important and i think the question why was this the break glass moment. you have to step back and look at the events of last week. over the last week the president sitting in the white house at a critical moment for the country tweeted crazy stuff, i'm surrounded by ominous weapons and vicious dogs. the next day he's speaking to american governors, officials of the state saying dominate -- secretary of defense saying it's time to dominate the battle space. then we saw lafayette square and being cleared by federal officials under command of somebody that assaulted american citizens and journalists right before the cameras with the american people watching. thi

isis, there has been a repeated and embrace of his brand that continues in isis media. both related and very good questions but from people who know what they're talking about. we have a sophisticated audience. there is a whole chapter about his influence. and one that plays a lot i give a lot of credit to him and i think it's on that you written about. a couple things to keep in mind. early baghdadi, when they said 0 six, was a controversy about this, al-qaeda was not entirely sure and he really open in 0 six, he prays on the establishment of the islamic state. in one of the reasons he prays and. one because he said we finally have a great example of theory turning to practice, the taken idea and implementing it in setting in the islamic state, it's such an important example and he no this is the first step towards the end of where this is happening, geographically, it is a sign that we had taken another major step for fulfilling the prophecy and at the end of the days happening in the part of the world. that may sound familiar to people who know about isisause that's one of the messages, their propolis to nature and the attraction of that. the attraction of saying that actually you can't just wait around anymore, if you want to be part of the jew hod movement, you cannot wait anymore, it is established, it is here you have to protect it and you have to be involved with the next phase in the train is leaving it, isis message of the component of their activism was very attractive because the added immediacy, you have to do it now, he identified that in 2006 and he said the very same thing that i'm saying, this is not an opportunity, if you die anytime soon in your asked what did you do and you did not take the chance to be part of the most important moment in the final battle between good and evil and a couple of others, not many, we saw the recruitment and that is important. and when it was found, when they started reaching out to westerners in english, one of the very first videos that they do is a voiceover given the 2006 speech in the

isis defeated. with vice president biden and president obama the so-called jv team of isis became the varsity team andan two separate countries and the president will always draw contrasts with president obama and he was drawing a contrast in that tweet. >> thank you. two questions of covid-19. remdesivir we found out today that the pricing going forward for roughly a five-day trial $2,300 for government-backed programs. $3,100 on the commercial market place. does president trump approve of that pricing considering there's criticism whether that's too high? >> that's a really good, important and substantive question i think deserves a good answer to and first the wholesale acquisitions costs or the federal supply schedule about 3,200 for a course of remdesivir and remdesivir is an in-patient drug done by infusion and because it is an in-patient drug the patient would be very unlikely to see the cost of the drug and to pay the cost of the drug because the way that hospitals get reimbursed for in-patient drugs is paid flat fees for admission and as explained to me this means in layman's terms that hospi

question. the palestinian -- the checkpoints that divide papalestinians from m one anothr and separate them from their homes are an invention of the peace process. in 1995, the palestinian west bank and gaza were separated into three jurisdictions, a -- a companyd seek b,b, and c. area,rea c is the e largest what is now being marked for annexation and is what came under full israeli cicivil and security control.. the checkpoints that are erected are meant to put -- police palestinians from traveling from amongst cities and within one another. their place precisely to divide palestinians from one another in ofer to quell any kind national cohesion and uprising. they are also set up because they are policing palestitinians who are not to travel l throughh settlements which are all built on confiscated palestinian land. aretimes these checkpoints built around places where there are no settlements, but there will be. but there will be. all of palestinian territory is marked for israeli settlements and marked for the removal of palestinians. palestinians have steadily been removed from their home. they are demolished. roads are buililt over them for israelis only. settlements s are built on topof them. palestinians are continued too ever smaller areas. the trump administration revealed in january, will become the permanent reservation where they will be able to practice a -- or derivative sovereignty, but never a form of freedom. they will forever be dominanate. i want to switch really quick becaususe this is the e concernf the family ahmed ahmed come inin the aftermatath of's mururder, israel started a propagandnda he trtriedleging that to ram his c car into the checkpoint. this is s a lie. this is an incredibly hurtful lie, but it is a systematic like that israell tells as it kills palestinians and blames t them r their own deaths. whwhat we know is israel h has e this systematicacally. we know they have used this - -- as people have said, this w was preparared and ready argrgument. we know from m may to octoberr 2018, , israel killed 267 palestiniansns in gaza who were unarmemed that was supported d y the israelii mililitary establishment and political establishment. it was rubberstamped as a policy toto shoot. we know among those murderered s a 21-year-old paramedicic who hd her hands up, wasas wearing a paramedicest, and was shot in the back. when she wasas killed, the israi military released d a doctored video claiming she said "i'm a human shield." what they failed to play w was e rest of the clip where she said "i am a human shield here o on e line being a protective human shield saving the injured." the israeli literary doctctor te video to say she was human chill for hamas. guess what? askingntire world stopped questions. the momentnt you say hamas, palestinian violence, posting resistance is as it we expect that to be a carte blanche to kill as many positive needs as possible. .hey did it right t now the family is demanding ahmed's by the be returned. it is being withheld a as a form ofof collective punishment. you're also demanding that the home be protected because israel has a policy of demolishing homemes of palestininians they kind of -- without any trial. we a are demanding t the footage released and apologize and address the systematic violence. examined theu.n. s and that israelel' concluded "israel oftenen used lethal forcece against suspicionians on meme or as a precautionary measure." israeli soldiers killed palestinians as cautionary measure. and the rest of the world accecepts this because of how ud to the loss of palestinian lives we have become numb top. ththis killiling is normalized. this is the context in which fighting fory is justice in his name and also mourning's live at the sameme time. amy: noura erakat, as you describe ahmed, he was picking up his mom and sisterr -- his sister was going to be merry last time. his sister fainted when she heard what had taken place? and d he himself was going to be married in just a few weeks? >> inindeed. the other part of the story that does not add up -- and frankly, one of the things about this, as you're telling these details come a amy, so most listeners would think, naturally, why would a young man, 27 years old with his own t-shirt business who is incredibly happy and smiling on the day of his sister's weddingng planning an attack against an israeli checkpoint, whicich is basicalla suicide mission? why y would he do that? normal people will ask that. pathetic people will say, it is impossible. yet because of the dehumanizing and the racism with which our stories are cloaked, there are some who might say, yeah, it is possible. palestinians are driven by hatrtred for jews and basicallyy bornrn in order to kill. people saying palestinians should be killed because they birth snakes? these are the highest people in office, not arena extremist, but representatives -- who represent them to the world, the so-called only democracy. yes, ahmed was incredibly proud of the home he had prepared for his wife to be insured pictures had soin his home and much to live for and deserved to s justice inerve deserts estimating accountability. this is not about one sad israel i soldier, just as it is not about one bad cop ever. this is anan apartheid system ad a settler colonial system that enshrines jewish israeli supremacy as a matter of law and policy on an international scale. it is one that marks palestiniaians for removal, exie or death. and it is done with thehe full unequivocal diplomatic finanancl military supupport of the united states but with the international community, so it bears upon us to respond in this moment by supporting the palestinian's call for freedom, by doing a little weekend by engaging in boycott, divestment, for alls for ahmed,, those to oppose the annexation, oppose apartheid to fight for freedom. amy: noura erakat, thank you for being w with us. again, our condolences to your family. noura erakat is a palestinian human rights attorney and legal scholar. colleague of juan's at rutgers company assistant professor at rutgers university. author of

of the tweets of noura e erakat k r guest after ahmed died -- --y left him to "they left him to bleed out like this. for 1.5 hours. his name is ahmed. he deserved to live. he deserved to dance tonight w his family to celebrate his sister. he deserved to dance at his wedding, to nurture family. to live. this is not a picture of ahmed but of israel's ugliness." when we come back, look at the fight for racial justice in sportsts with etan thomas, foror nba player, cohost of the podcast "the collision: were sports and politics collide." stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: this is democracy now!, democrcracynow.org, ththe quarae report. i'm amy goodmann with juan gonzalez. we tururn now to look k at the t for racial justice in sports. the fbi said tuesday that nascar driver bubba wallace was not the target of a hate crime and that a noose found in his garage had been there since last year. nascar described the item as a "garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose" and says it had been there for months before the stall was assigned to wallace. nascar launched an investigation after a crew member discovered the noose sunday at the talladega superspeedway. bubba wallace, who is the only african american driver in nascar's elite cup series, tweeted the "act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened." on tuesday night, he told cnn he stands by what he said. of what i'vemage seen hananging i in my garage it a garage pull. i have been racingng on my lifi. we have raraised out of hundndrs of garages. never hahad garage pulls likike that. so people that want t to call ia knotsts pull upon videos of as her evidence, go ahead. but from t the evidedence we hae and that i have, it is s a straightht u up noose. the fbi has stated it was a noose over and over again. amy: that was bubba wallace. on sunday, a plane circled above the track at the talladega superspeedway towing a confederate flag and a banner reading "defund nascar" to push back against its decision to ban the confederate flag. meanwhile, dustin skinner, the son of former nascar driver mike skinner, apologized tuesday for an earlier facebook attack on -- facebook post saying bubba wallace should be dragged around the pits with the news. well, from nascar to the nfl -- where commissioner roger goodell now says he encourages teams to sign quarterback colin kaepernick -- we are joined by etan thomas, athlete and activist who spent 11 years in the nba and is co-host of the weekly podcast "the collision: where sports and politics collide" with dave zirin. his latest book is "we matter: athletes and activism." it is great to have you with us. let's start with nascar. absolutely astounding what bubba wallace has accomplished, pushing hard for the confederate flag to be banned from the raceways and nascar finally d dd comply. and to see before the fbi said they discovered that this noose-like rope had been there for months, all of the belelievd car drivers -- bubba wallace is dealing african-americann elite car driver -- walking with him in a black lives matter-like protest. and before that, bubba wallace had unveiled his racing car, which was black with bold white " " and "black lives matter he wore a t-t-shirt that sd d "i c't breaththe." talk about what is happening in nanascar.. >>>> first of all, t thank you r having me on. i think it i is amamazing what s hahappening in nascacar. i i had a chance to interview bd doherty, a team ownerer in nasc, former nba player, yesterday, for anotother show i have. he told d me about the culture f nascar. i have to admit elite n no, i'm know not,admittedly an avid d watcher of nascar. he talked about how ththe different drdrivers rally a arod bubba wallace and that t show of solidaririty and how hee said in his words that would not have hahappened 20 years ago. the particulars o of the noose d the f fbi - -- they have call ia noose manany times. ththey d n not say it wasn't. they calleitit a noose, just to make it clear,r, no matter whent was placed there and why bubba wawallace was given that particul garagage, don't know. they call it a noose. but the p part that was realllly impressive to me is, n number o, the way nascar immediately rallied around bubba wallace. ththey did more in 48 hours than the nfl did for con kaepernick for four or five years or however long it has been. the show of solidarity around nascar, around the driver -- which is different than the fans. the fans had one r reaction. he saw a lot of -- i've even seen in the twitter mentions. i posted my support for bubbaba wallace. there's a certain demographic nascar, but the drivers don't match that demographic. atat is one e thing i did not know. i thought they were one in the same. but the show of solidarity is something we're sing across the country. what we saw in nascar with that, right now i this time since george floyd's murdeder, i've sn more white peoeople who have ben protesting, who have been rallying around as allies, who want to be allies, then i have in my lifetime. we can't worry about where you have been all this time. your l l to the party, ok, ththat's fine. bubut you here n now. now'w's the time for youou tuse your pvilege t to be able to push for things toto actually change. i think ththat is reflectition f where we are in society. those drivers in nascar are pushing for the culture of nasc to changege. , i i would askas about the other sports. major r league baseball isis to salvage it season. the nfl is in a q quandary about what to do. the nba now is seeeeking to

isis territorial caliphate. and the savage terrorist monsters al-baghdadi and cushing's old money, they are both dead. 100%, 100% of the isis caliphate. and when i took over that caliphate was going like this, it was a mess. no administration has accomplished more in just for you a half years. if i could after others, just a few points. i could talk for an hour and a half just reading the points off, you know that. but as you know in recent months america has faced down that unseen enemy, the virus from the distant land that spread across the globe and invaded our shores and invaded the shores of, think of it, 188 nations. i have a friend who's a very smart guy who said i didn't know there were that many nations. i said actually go over 200. i love you, too. and tomorrow, the fake news will be, he said he love somebody. he said he love somebody. terrible. terrible. i will be in big trouble, fake news. they are terrible people. who are the people that stood up? who said, i love you? sit down fast please. don't let them see you. that's a lot of prospect there, look at that. that's a problem, they could cover all the speeches.

isis forces and then cut to them dumping their bodies this large natural or such and the immediate question was well how many more people are changed out there how long has isis and using this location. when the british forces we took that area they opened up the possibility to go and so when we got there it became obvious very quickly that it was contaminated with multiple unexploded munitions to potentially be trapped by isis. we didn't know how deep it was and so this profile from the pressure raises a lot of questions of utilities well the drone even operates in this case beyond our sight immediately the drone was almost destroyed by a flock of birds. and then it lost the g.p.s. signal antidrug scratched but it did manage to get out and went it showed us was something. we had not expected. to get something for the body there's one. bodies human remains that were obviously. fresh in the drums also provided those with heat bits of evidence that we needed to help our you in advance for. professional forensic examination and then to identify them their human remains and return to the families you're clearly using drones as a force for good but also the ethical issues around using a technology that with developed for surveillance. and there are some that in this case who are advocating for free and unfettered access to all drone imagery unconditionally this has led i think to quite a substantial out of the ge

isis link militants conducted simultaneous attacks in two district capitals in mozambique. just this past week isis west africa has been on a rampage attacking the council across northeast nigeria and filling 100 people. e d'ivoire at least 10 soldiers were killed during the military during the border with burkina faso. on african security forces and partners are not retreating as evidenced by the recent death of a uim reader. it is true that domestic forces are dealing with lockdowns, some international partners are already capturing their peacekeepers as we see ireland do in malawi or they're just dealing with covid-19 outbreaks within their own security forces . sources within france's operation by time and 30 ugandan troops designed to the peacekeeping deployment of somali tested positive these successes are unfolding during a period of typing political rivalry in sub-saharan africa and the us, china and other external actors are responding through altruistic and global health reasons but as the committee knows they are alsodoing better to advance their strategic interest in the region . the us is focused on financial contributions whereas china through jack moss and the chinese companies that focuson supplies , masks, test kits and pes. it is uncertain what the country'sapproach is having the desired geopolitical effect .african leaders have expressed satisfaction withboth the us and china . the nigerian and canadian officials have dressed down diplomats, for racist treatment of africans while they welcomed jack moss donations, african legislators and officials are asking hard questions about chinese corruption and present in african countries. the us african leaders icelandic president donald trump for his statements about who director general and former ethiopian governor administered doctor chad rose , throughout the continent there's been an uproar for the murder of george floyd by officers in minnesota. while this is far from unprecedented african admonishment of foreign partners has rarely been as forceful, sustained or public african officials are probably becoming more confrontational in part because they fear pushback. they hear a failure to push back and deflect attention from current prices while heightening domestic public anger in the wake of the disease nothing dental and economic devastation. i believe this new assertiveness is unlikely to stay as allegory and president declared there's been a selfishness on the part of industrialnations for decades . their limited scope for this to trigger a major overhaul of bilateral relations because of the structural and economic and security ties but i do believe the region is going to prioritize partnerships with countries that judged to be responsive, respectful andcompetitive . the ad with five key recommendations for the us. to help their african partners as well as restore our leadership in sub-saharan africa. first of my colleagues mentioned we need to be in charge, we need to leave lead the global response. our failureto lead as undercut coordination and if you're awar of words between the us and china which has taken the image of both countries . it's not too late to step up . this kind of multilateral approach led by the us was a hallmark of our response to people in west africa . we need to collaborate on economic relief, the us should commit itself to working with five lenders to address the region economic growth . as ambassador lynn thomas greenfield said the us needs to impress china to do more to grant some debt relief in coordination with other donors. there's a variety of other options on the table, low interest rates, special drawing rights with the imf , something for a bond with the euro bonds are swap for professional debt but the key here is the us technology is the main obstacle to a solution. we can do more to talk about private sector and our foundational contributions to address covid-19. that's actually what china is doing. according to one study only 50 percent of its aid globally is to chinese governments and the rest are for foundations and private companies . i've been delighted to see the us starting to do this through its all-america campaign. we need to apply and learn from african successes. the us should be doing more to hail africans positive response to the pandemic. there's an opportunity to champion african leaders in government, ministries and multilateral institutions who are doing the right thing and doing it well . this is an open approach which privileges dialogue and mutual respect and has the potential to take the sting out of derogatory us rhetoric and finally, this is an opportunity to refresh our policy. the pandemic is a once in a generation opportunity to reimagine us policy on programs of public diplomacy. there's an urban profile outlining we should balance our investments toward african city and the engagement on the frontlines of fighting covid is a reminder our security partnerships are more than about counterterrorism and create and public service announcement videos and assume town halls are tantalizing previews for what a modern and inclusive public appointment looks like. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. mister morrison why don't we try again and see if your audio works ? we still can't hear you for some reason. you're my doesn't show that it's muted on our end. a blue mic in front of you. >> we still can't hear you. well, i wonder if we should try having you sign in again or have you call and rather than use the video link we could probably hearyou by dialing in . so why don't we do that. i'm going to let my staff interact with you directly and we will in the meantime begin with some questions. my apologies mister morrison but we will get this worked out. all right. let me start by bringing forward any of our witnesses who can beheard . the current pandemic began with china. it's certainly possible that the next pandemic may begin somewhere else. if a pandemic were to begin or a virus were to begin spreading in africa, what level of confidence do you have in our ability to identify that's taking place. what kind of transparency do you think we would find and how dependent is that given that there's not much transparency out of china in some very critical early days and weeks and how wouldyou assess the threat of a pandemic coming from the african continent ? >> can i start? >> sure i am very confident that should such a pandemic starts in africa we would have tremendous cooperation and look back on the situation with ebola in west africa where we were on the verge of a pandemic with three countries being affected and concerns that it could affect the entire globe because of strong efforts by those governments as well as cooperation by the international community and leadership by the united states, we were able to bring that under control in a very short training of time and while more people lost their lives and should have in this crisis, fewer lost their lives than could have had there not been an effort, a partnership with the international community. a couple of things came out of that that i think are important . one, the africa cdc that was already in development actually became much stronger and with africa cdc be extraordinarily responsive in this effort and african countries have been responsive. i happen to be in liberia in early march and when i arrived on march 3 my temperature was taken at the airport. handwashing stations were in front of every single public building that i visited and that was long before the crisis was declared a pandemic. so i think we can be confident in africa despite their limited infrastructure, their budgetary challenges, their capacity challenges that they would be extraordinarily supportive and cooperative in an effort to stem a pandemic that might start on thecontinent . >> this pandemic is expected to make response to other health imperatives which are difficult. what do you think the pandemic will do to the malaria response or the hiv response? is africa likely to lose more people from malaria because the healthcare response to malaria is impacted by covid? anyone? >> i'll start since no one else. i think we did see some backsliding in terms of help here across the continent because the requirements for covid we also saw that in the united states as well . though i do think that people were not going to hospitals when they had malaria or they were treating themselves , treating themselves for malaria when they had a fever when they might have gone to the hospital for covid. many people were unable to get there antiviral drugs for hiv because of covid so i do believe there was a negative impact. we saw that across the continent and i think it's something that we have to be watchful of in the future. >> thank you ambassador. let me move to mister hines, we're stilllooking on mister morrison . i think we may have a workaround . mister morris is able to keep his video on we may be able to get him on his cell phone but inthe interim mister hines . >> you mister chairman and thank you to all of our witnesses . i just have one question and i'm not quite sure who to direct it to what it relates to something that a couple of you have touched on which is likely scenarios with respect to sovereign debt. in the various african countries. it looks like if you look at the literature year ago people were worrying about a sovereign debt crisis year ago three covid and now obviously hard currency availabilityand all sorts of other things have gone dramatically sat . so my question is a lot of the debt is owed to the private sector is not necessarily multilateral or 02 other countries. my question is what should we look out for in terms of the intersection of debt that is not likely to be visible and therefore a country is going to either go through restructuring with all the potential of oil andgraphite sale . with what the intersection of that intensity with likelihood of political instability and likelihood that political instability generate more extremist violence, what are the hotspots we should keep an eye on it and as much as anybody wants to speculate, what are things we could do knowing that a lot of that debt is owed to the private sector and to china, trying to alleviate that challenge. class i'll try to answer that question. i do think the debt problem right now is severe and serious and deserves attention and engagement from the us in part because these african countries are able to pause the servicing of their debt or even have really can direct that money towards the things that would be stress relievers to the outcomes that you're talking about. getting better food at a lower price for subsidizing it. and addressing some of the social welfare program programming they need to do the rest of the world does. one of the challenges on commercial debt is the africans are pressing for death but they don't want it to affect their credit. so there's a real i think conundrum here even if we got the commercial sector, the private sector to release some of their debt africans are very concerned that their sovereign rating would go down to it going to take a number of creative collaborations between the us , and the private sector to try to find a way around this so that their debt is relieved or at least suspended with not affecting their credit rating which we as a government have been encouraged and for a very long time to actually build on. unless i'm less worried about how the debt is goingto affect insecurity as much as i am sort of the downstream effect on it . what kind of signing they have to do on other issues like food crisis and food prices often is the corollary to unrest whether we're talking about the 79 writes ryan in liberia or the more recent case of spiking bread crisis in sudan has led to public unrest. thank you. >> thank you for that, do any of the witnesses want to answer the other part of that question are there are particular hotspots or countries in the intersection of the debt crisis with political instability. >> i would take a stab and just finished with sudan i would keep a really close eye on sudan where they were already squeeze with a really limited kind of physical space for a new transitional government to deliver any kind of relief to the population that loads up to out the odious regime that was there before. and this crisis the kind of overall economic environment only makes that worse. it's an incredibly fragile transition and if civilians can't demonstrate that they can improve quality of life for people, it really does give the military actors in that kind of not so happy arranged marriage in the transitional government the upper hand. that's something that i would be very concerned about. >> and if i could add i would add ethiopia. ethiopia was on the precipice of reform with a very reform minded government. we saw some of the reforms taking place. they were on the third of an election election wasdelayed . so i worry with the, and michelle mentioned that in her remarks with the delay of the election, the uncertainty of what is coming next political in the country that ethiopia is a country also that we should keep a very close watchful eye on. class thank you, i think we have a workaround. there's a person who will be speaking that you will be able to view him. you may need to use the grid view and speak as a webex may not pick up the audio. some questions? >> can you hear me. >> thank you so much. ask for the chance to be here today. chairman, thank you so much also were your prior help to us. your leadership on combating misinformation and pains against vaccines and the support you've given usto the csi's commission on strengthening america's health security . these issues around misinformation, westernized social media are front and center in this particular crisis at home, africa and elsewhere. it's a huge problem we're going tohave to face . i'm going to skip ahead to my and in the interest of time and i'm going to skip ahead and cover some of the key recommendations . we luckier. first, while i'm not here to lobby for specific provisions i do wish to urge that the next emergency pandemic measure move by congress, to address urgent international concerns of issues here today. there's a white paper that was assembled by the us global leadership coalition interaction in the one campaign was called for at least 12 billion commitments to meet emergency humanitarian needs and the health response needs to the virus associated operational costs in africa and other low incomecountries . these are very urgent needs and they have only grown since that original commitment and in addition there's a stark need to begin early to bring forward us commitments to cover a significant share of the cost of production anddistribution of a vaccine in africa and in other low income countries . once that becomes available. advocates have called upon the us to make an early forward commitments. at upwards of 15 billion and the us, the estimated cost in aggregate for global distribution somewhere between 25 and $65 billion and we need to make action early on that area i also want to press that the us should take up trying to forge an international agreement at five percent of the first doses of the vaccine be reserved for healthcare workers, front-line workers, migrants populations and those whose health is acutely fragile across all countries in the world. expertsestimate that would require 252 350 million doses . second recommendation the us not lose sight of the ongoing need to sustain us commitment both our lateral and multilateral in hiv-aids, tuberculosis, malaria, polio, reproductive health, family planning immunizations. bipartisan congressional support for these programs have been essential over the past two decades and it remains essential. a pandemic has already disrupted many of these programs, over 80 million children have gone on immunized and we're seeing a resurgence of measles , yellow vaccine derived polio. we heard the industry she needs to expedite the delivery of the 1.6 billion in emergency assistance, and we know that there needs to be concerted action to lift the export restrictions on protective equipment, test kits and ventilators. we need to see greater action in the g7 energy 24 and expansion of debt relief and forgiveness and the us which has been absent from some of the most promising initiatives including the active accelerator which brings together the eu, industry, who the world bank, major foundations around any equity and access for vaccines, therapy, diagnostics, that most honest effort we should be joining. it makes no sense to defund who and terminate us membership. recklessness will damage who. it will damage us health scientific partnerships and us standing in the world and ultimately into the hands of the chinese. i appeal to congress to use its powers to preserve the us relationship with the who and urged demonstration to put the full support behind the independent review of the international response including who was just recently approved by the overwhelming vote at the world health organization my recommendation has to do with intelligence . who we've seen has no power to affect and no independent intelligence capacity. that greatly limits its ability to know when a country is cheating, is concealing network. and told that country to account. much more serious considerations needs to be given by the united states and like-mindedcountries including perhaps even the chinese . so for what new forms of systematic sharing of intelligence can supportthe who . african states greatly resent their vulnerability to bad choices made last year and earlier this year by china. expects african states will love the effort to strengthen the who graph on what is happening around the world. in the newoutbreaks and new threats. last in the emergency , most of this emergency we need to take a long view. not as a choice moment to restore the directorates for global health security and bio defense at the national security council and to create a strong authoritative mechanism perhaps model after that bar and that establishes health diplomacy, leadership at the state department and theunity of purpose around health security. bring great benefits to africa. like you very much . >> thank you ms. morrison. see if i can hear you without the phone really quickly see if that's working . class can you hear me. >> i can't but i can't tell if you're on the phone or not . in any event you can hear you loud and clear in your testimony so thank you very much but let me go to terry for her question. class i want to thank all our panelists. a pandemic has really posed a threat to various security assistance efforts such as the un peacekeeping as well as fighting counterterrorism and we want to understand how violent extremists have been using this pandemic as an opportunity to seek advantage and what your thoughts were about what we can do about it and whether or not a able to maintain or will be able to maintain these advantages accrued during the pandemic going forward . i open that to you to any lists would like to say that the intersection between a pandemic and ongoing security efforts in the region, especially in fighting counterterrorism. >> i'll try to answer that. yes there is an intersection between extremism and covid-19 in a couple of ways. i mentioned in my testimony we are seeing a surge in the way many of the extremist groups particularly jaden, isis west africa and bobo from and the group in northern mozambique are operating. it's part of their trajectory that they been able to do these things but i can't just count that many of the security forces are now on double duty both stressing lockdown measures as well as doing counterterrorism fighting and their international partners are doing as much as they can but the un has stalled rotations for its peacekeeping missions . there have been some attacks on peacekeepers. it's not in key areas, areas of terrorism but in south sudan and the south african republic but i did mention in my testimony how the extremist groups are using this as a propaganda opportunity. talking about how this, the measures of the nigerian government forexample are against muslims and how if you join both around you will be freed from coronavirus . for doing work in terms of building goodwill amongst the population, just this week al shabab has opened up a clinic which they used in the 2015 to gain goodwill. i

isis could never come back in syria. we're down to less than like 8,000 troops. we had about 180,000 in afghanistan. we can keep several thousand of them over there working with the afghans to keep isis and al-qaeda from coming back. what president trump has done he's made nato members give $400 billion of new money. he's asked our allies, you know, why should we do this all by ourselves. >> that's right. >> so i like the idea he's making people pay more, making people on the ground fight. in syria we lost eight people. god bless those eight but most of the fighting was done by the kurds. so they're good allies. what i like about president trump he's reducing our role. we're not knocking the doors down anymore. we're helping them with the aviation and intelligence and special operations, but we got to have some of us over there partnering with people who reject this ideology. let's just end with this. we're going into an election, this is one of the biggest choices you'll ever have or we're going to go back to an economy of stagnation or we're going to go back to the foreign policy of weakness, or we're going to continue to march forward rebuilding an america where everybody benefits

isis territory caliphate. and the terrorist monsters, al-baghdadi and kassim sulla maney, they are both dead. 100%. 100% of the isiste. when i took over, that caliphate was going like this. it was a mess but we destroyed it. no administration has accomplished more in just 3.5 years. these are just a few points. i could talk for an hour and a half just reading the points off. you know that. as you know in recent months, america has faced down that unseen enemy, the virus from the distant land that spread across the globe and invaded our shores, but invaded the shores of, think of it, 188 nations. i've a friend, he is a smart guy. he said, i did not know there were that many. actually over 200. but188 nations. i love you, too. thank you darling. thank you. and tomorrow the fake news will say, he said he love somebody. he said he love somebody. terrible. terrible. i will be in big trouble, the fake news. they are terrible people. who are the people that stood up? stand up, please. who said, i love you? hoa. sit-down fast, please. don't let them see you. that is a lot of press back there. look at that. that is the prob

isis defeated. with vice president biden and president obama, this so-called jay vee team of isis became the varsityntries. the president will always draw a contrast with president obama and those are just two of the many. he was drawing a contrast in that tweet. reporter: i have two questions on covid. first off, remdesivir, we found out today the pricing on it going forward, for roughly a five-day trial, $2300 for government-backed programs, $3100 in commercial marketplace. does president trump approve of that pricing, of that price point considering there's been some criticism as to whether or not that's too high? >> that's a really good, important substantive question that i think deserves a good answer to. first, the wholesale acquisition cost or federal supply schedule is about $3200 for a course of remdesivir, but remdesivir is an in-patient drug done by infusion and because it is an in-patient drug, the patient would be very unlikely to see the cost of the drug, and to pay the cost of the drug because the way that hospitals get reimbursed for in-patients drugs is that they are paid flat fees
