united states of america being energy-independent. we take great pride in being a part of that. kern county at one point in time was the largest oil and gas producing county in the continentalted states, so, the industry itself, that is who we are. that is the legacy of this portion of san joaquin valley. man: arvin making a bit of history today, becoming one of the smallest cities to make their own local regulation for the oil and gas industry. woman: oil and gas has kept kern county moving for decades. now arvin residents are fed up and those in the industry feel unwelcomed. wednesday night, arvin city council unanimously voted in favor of restrictions on the oil and gas industry. those in support applauded. [cheering and applause] man: yeah, so, it's a monumentous thing that we did. we passed the oil and gas ordinance, and hopefully other cities with that type of industry will follow, so, we're gonna be talking today with some neighbors on nelson court, nd then tomorrow i'm goa have a coersatiowith thmayor of taft about our two cities. see if we can find any common ground. my name is jose gurrola and i am the mayor of the city of arvin. we can't deny the fact that living

in how they show between may and the present, the number of cases that expands across the continental united states are almost back to where we were. it is a very harrowing observation. host: i want to ask you. we read this story about the sturgis motorcycle rally. i had a caller from sturgis and the washington post had a story about the spread of the and the seed for spread across the midwest states, particularly the upper midwest and mountain west states. one of the issues they pointed out was the difficulty in what is called contact tracing. have we gotten better at doing that over the course of the pandemic? guest: no. because we are not testing everybody. you don't know the universe of positive people. when you get sick and hospitalized and when you die, you know that somebody was positive for covid or not. but because we have so many people who may have very mild symptoms who never go see the doctor or are asymptomatic and are carriers who don't know. as more people interact with one another, it makes contact tracing almost impossible because there is simply too many people. that was one of t

pullingtalk about forces back to the continental united states from overseas, europe in particular. that is worrisome to our friends and allies. one of the first things we have to do is come out with a clear policy statement backed up by clear action, that we are committed, that we do want to maintain our position as a global leader. we know china is a threat. butnow russia is a nuisance a clever one. we know iran is not going to hold to its agreements. know the war on terror will find its way to the african continent and so on. there is a lot to do. the first step is to reassure our friends and allies, particularly international , whereations like nato is a validfense concept after years of thinking somehow russia was going to .hoose to be with mr. putin as president, we know that is not true. as a result, we need to make sure that, as we move our forwards defense of europe closer to the black sea and baltic sea that we do those things that are essential to reassure our friends and allies and build those relationships. allies.friends and china does not really have a friend or ally.

landfall, and we know with laura, it was the fifth strongest storm to make landfall in the continental united states, and left behind upwards of $12 billion in losses, 1 million customers without power across this region, and some 100,000 homes also either destroyed or damaged across portions of louisiana. what's most impressive and notable is the 800 million cubic yards of debris left on the ground as a result of only 1 1/2 million have been cleaned up. quite a bit of debris, whether it be branches, portions of homes. we know a lot of homes have tarps on top of them, and the concern of the magnitude with hurricane force winds, extending 50 miles from the center, tropical storm force winds, 150 miles from the center. a lot of debris that's on the ground could be projectiles and could be dangerous, and that's why evacuations not only in place, but officials say evacuations are taken more seriously than six weeks ago when laura made landfall across the region. we have hurricane warnings widespread across the areas of southwestern louisiana. the model comparisons between the americans on the left side

states are seeing increases in new cases over the past week, and not a single state in the continental united statesg down. not a single state. erica hill is "outfront." >> reporter: the dreaded second wave now washing over the u.s. >> nearly ever region in the state has seen an increase in covid-related hospitalizations over the last week. >> reporter: illinois among the 42 states reporting a rise in hospitalizations. 14 hitting new peaks. it's not just hospitals setting records. nationwide, the virus is surging. >> these numbers are grim. they are going the wrong direction. >> reporter: undergrads at the university of michigan, now at a stay at home order for two weeks. students account for more than 60% of new cases in the area. michigan is among the 31 states seeing a rise in new cases over the past week. just one, hawaii, seeing a decline. >> over the next five or six months, i think up through february or march, we are heading into the worst part of the pandemic for this country. >> reporter: new case numbers are typically lower on mondays. this week, the u.s. added more than 58,000, topping a

nearly nine months since the first coronavirus case was diagnosed and treated inside the continental united statese medical community learned about covid since then? let's ask the doctor who treated that very first patient back in january outside seattle. dr. george diaz is the section chief of infectious diseases at providence regional medical center in everett, washington. doctor, thanks so much for join ing us. tell us how diagnosis, treatment, knowledge about the virus has advanced in nine months. >> well, thank you for having me, arthel. the treatment of covid has improved significantly since we first treated our first patient here back in january. we now know that remdesivir, dexamethasone are treatments, they both have shown benefit in treating patients. and the people that come into the hospital with severe disease, meaning they need oxygen treatment with both agents is usually employed. that being said, it's still a scary infection. we still have people going into the icu and dying from severe disease. we are learning more about how to treat this infection. there's a number of clinical tr

like russia and others filled the gap and we hear talk about pulling forces back to the continental united states from overseas, europe in particular and that is worrisome to our friends and allies. i think one of the first things we have to do is come out with a very clear policy statement that is backed up by clear action that we are committed we do want to maintain our position as a global leader and we know that china is a real threat and we know russia is a nuisance but nonetheless a clever one at that. we know that iran is not going to live up to its disagreements and we know what north korea is. and we know that the war on terror finds its way through the african continent and so on and so forth. there is an awful lot to do but i think the first step is to reassure our friends and allies, particularly organization, international organizations like north atlantic treaty where we agree to fine the concept after years of making somehow russia would choose to be inside the euro atlantic arc with the resurgence of mr. putin as president we know that's not true and so as a result we need to make

louisiana this season, this is also the record tenth named tropical cyclone to impact the continental united statesnly six weeks ago that lake charles and much of the southern central coast of louisiana was completely impacted and altered by hurricane laura. 30,000 homes destroyed, 35,000 homes had damage and they're still building back the power grid and there are still several thousand people in shelters. we are in delcom, louisiana, this is the vermillion parish, there are mandatory evacuations here, this is very representative of the region, lots of fishing industry across this area. i talked about hurricane laura being on the minds of residents here and locals because it did impact this region. let me show you why, the restaurant associated with this gentleman's fishing boat actually took damage, there is the high water level mark from hurricane laura six weeks ago, this he had a couple feet of water within their home. we have noticed the surge raise the water here by about a foot already today. that also includes some of the high tide that is ongoing right now. we do anticipate going forward

expected to pick up steam and hit the continental united states along the gulf coast.tly where along the gulf coast. by friday or saturday at the latest. could enter as a category 4, some say even a category 5 storm. no surprise then that oil facilities in and around the region are shut down in an abundance of caution but that's not a typo on that oil report. oil prices going down. normally they would start jumping when something like this happens. phil flynn, this isn't like your ordinary time, is it? >> it never is. especially when it comes to hurricanes. i think every hurricane sometimes has their own personality and can drive prices in different directions. initially, yesterday we saw oil prices and gasoline prices surging because of concerns about production shutdowns in the gulf of mexico. over 30% of gulf oil production has been shut in. that number is going to go higher today. now it's the other side of the equation. where is this storm going to hit, what damage is it going to do to demand? in mexico, of course, the storm hit not as bad as anticipated so there

never in the continental united states, did we use air force one,. those were to be only used for overseas trips. at no time was i ever permitted to bring a newspaperman or a person of the media radio television repress with me on any plane within the united states. president for bennett and off course are respected his command it is. wish i gather he felt that the vice-president should be heard and seen, but not reported upon too much. >> of course, lyndon johnson had been the majority leader in the senate. when hubert humphrey had been serving their. these two men had a long relationship and served in leadership together. could you talk more about how johnson used the levers of power to control hubert humphrey. >> well as i said earlier when he had an argument with johnson about vietnam, and johnson froze him out for at least a year. about any talk of vietnam or any foreign policy. he cut off his privileges. he shortened his staff. at one point, he tapped his phones. he did a number of things to control humphrey. he did not want him speaking out ag

it was monroe with john quincy adams help that made the united states a continental nation. people always make of this description of monroe's term in office his two terms that in some sense that was real there was a calm in the country and in the presidency. he had the most stable cap next of any of the presidents that is a security and the continuity that people felt. >> talking about the revolutionary war and how it shaped their character because all four of them participated in some sense washington and men on - - monroe the governor of virginia from the capital much to the delight of patrick henry james madison of course was not cut of military cloth with the problems of public finance especially talk about the ways in which the war shaped their character and understanding of the union so how does that affect them? >> and madison's case he did not become a warrior because he had epilepsy and this is a theory i think i pretty much substantiated in my madison book he had a complex partial seizure every once in a while and describe intellectual functions would be suspended

it was monroe with john quincy adams help that made the united states a continental nation. the error of good feeling people always make fun of this description of it monroe's terms and term in office. it was in some sense real. there was a calm in the country. and there was a calm in the presidency. he have the most stable cabinet of any of the president. that was the security and continuity that people felt. i want to talk a little about the revolutionary war and how it shaped their character. all four of them participated in some sense in washington in monroe and fled from the capital. he was not cut up military cloth. the problems of public finance. can you talk about the ways in which the war they were understanding the union but how did that affect them. in madison's case he could not become a lawyer because he have epilepsy. this is a theory i substantially made it in my medicine book. he would have complex partial seizure every once in a while. the intellectual functions would be suspended. it seems as though he have such an event when he was practicing to be a soldi

it's what i sometimes call trying to turn much of continental europe, and perhaps even the united stateseen for a long, long time. so that the state does have a role in trying to create a more productive and healthier, more inclusive economy going forward than the ones that we've had. right. it's gonna be a tough ask, though, isn't it, particularly in a country like the uk where there currently is a culture which says government should stay out of the private sector, because the government launched this birch project to put money into big businesses that were suffering because of short—term covid problems. as i understand it, so far, they've only pumped money into one steel manufacturer, and many other companies that looked at the project decided they'd rather take money from chinese banks and other sources. it's just not working. well, it doesn't look as though the government's paying much attention to what i've just said, by doing exactly as you said. but as it relates to some of their own political agenda, people talk a lot about the so—called red wall of tory seats that they won at t

district court judge in a limited venue and presidential executive order for the entire united states, continental and otherwise? >> hon. amy coney barrett: that is a disputed issue of law that is in litigation and the court, it's been on the court's docket, the authority of district courts issue nationwide injunction, that would take me down the path of opining on case that objection wind up in litigation in front of me. >> senator: okay. i got one last question. >> hon. amy coney barrett: hope it's an easy one. >> senator: it is. sincere question, i'm genuinely curious. who does the laundry in your house? >> hon. amy coney barrett: we increasingly have been trying to get our children to take responsibility for their own, those efforts are not always successful, so we run a lot of loads of laundry. >> senator: you're very impressive, judge. >> hon. amy coney barrett: thank you, senator. >> senator: yield back, chairman. >> senator blackburn. >> you have been watching the second day of questioning of amy coney barrett, nominee president trump put forward to be next associate justice of the united

it was monroe with john quincy adams help that made the united states a continental nation. that year of good feeling people always make fun of this description of monroe term in office, his two terms was in some sense real. there was a calm in the country and there was a calm and the presidency. he had the most to stable cabinet of any of the presidents , and that is sort of a kind of security in continuity that people felt. >> thank you. went to talk a little bit about the revolutionary war and how it shaped their character because all four of them participated in some sense. washington and monroe in military sense, jefferson governor of virginia and fled from the capital much to the delight of patrick henry. james madison, of course, as short as he was was not cut of military caught but was in philadelphia struggling through the problems of public finance especially. can you talk about the ways in which the war shaped their character, shaped their understanding of the union, just how does that affect them? >> well, in madison's case, he could not become a warrior because

what is your single message to continental europe and to a united dates -- a united states embarrassedto get organized to get this contained? dr. ammon: a very difficult question, because i do not know colleagues ine the u.s. are approaching this. the e.u.n say that, in , that countries have followed measures insing of may, june, have followed the expansion of testing and contact tracing. thever, apparently, some of easing of the measures was a bit too enthusiastic, so we are dealing now with an increase in cases. tom: what part of your original research was on the chronic condition of the liver? tell me about the chronic condition of people who are younger and the belief of many in america that they are discrete and separate from old people with this virus? if there is a lot of young people getting sick, what does that mean for the older people that are still alive? general, thell, in people below 50 have a lower risk of having severe disease, getting admitted to hospital, or dying. that does not mean that they cannot get severe disease, go to the hospital, or die. so i think we have

school with a very nice global sense, particularly even though her work is in the united states, with a very continentalwhy don't you bring up the observation you just made on sustaining the price for italian debt. jonathan: i wonder if her now, that is the one piece of comfort for christine lagarde tomorrow in the ecb news conference. it might change, but for now, we are holding up on the periphery. megan: i think that is right, though i think the jury is still kind about on the eu recovery side, which is the reason anyone had faith in the euro zone. the recovery is kind of stuck in the plumbing. saidple have come on and that they don't want to take on the loan portion of it, which effectively reduces the size of the recovery fund. as we have seen a resurgence of new cases across europe, i don't think they will do anything at this meeting. i think they will just set up for further easing when they come out with new forecasts and when they have a better sense of how bad the second wave in europe is. i think christine lagarde will to stand pat for now, but will have a bearish tone so that the ecb can go

united states itself. you have a picture of a continental three dollar bill with the latin motto, the outcome is in doubt, e some of the reasons the outcome was in doubt that the united states almost did not become the united states? >> thank you for the question. to me this goes to why did it take so long for a union to be formed in the first place? we kind of skip over the colonial pretty quickly but it was 150 years from same time à Ãcolonies existed without a union and it wasn't because they didn't have the idea and nobody suggested it, but they rejected it out of hand, they wanted nothing to do with one another, they didn't want to form a union. when the revolution came they formed one as a means to the end. they only joined together because it seemed like that was the only way to beat britain, to rebel against the crowds, some of it at least considered here. that reluctance, i suggest, played a role in the fragility of this coalition and it was fragile from the start. why did it almost break apart were not even survive through the civil war? the declaration of independence did not create a union, it

never within the continental limits of the united states did we ever use air force one or two, that is the four-engine jets, those were reserved only -- those were to be used by me only for overseas trips. and at no time was i ever permitted to carry, to bring a newspaper man or a person of the media, radio, television or press with me on any trip in the united states. the president forbid it and of course i respected his command and his wish. i gather he felt that the vice president should be heard and seen, but not reported upon too much. >> of course lyndon johnson had been the majority leader in the senate when hubert humphrey had been serving there, these two men had a long relationship and served in leadership together. could you talk more about how johnson used the levers of power to control hubert humphrey? >> as i was saying earlier, when he had this argument with johnson about vietnam, johnson shut him out, froze him out at that point for at least a year, about any talk about vietnam or any foreign policy, basically. he cut off his privileges. he shortened his staff. at one p

i believe that a strong continental base, 500 million people, three democracies working together, that will also help the united states engage with problems around the world. it puts 1.3 billion people in china in a different perspective. i found this reference to reagan which i loved. as he launched his campaign in 1979, he says, this is -- campaigning for president of the out but he says we'd be better off if we have mexico and canada being stronger and it's time we stopped treating our nearest neighbors arizona foreigners. that's different from the rhetoric we hear today but i think it's an important sense about how america's strength also builds off the neighborhood. >> it's interesting. of the five traditions you have in your book, i think this is the one that is often over looked, the importance of the north american base. think too often in foreign policy publications and discussions, people look a great distance forgetting that the common market that is canada, mexico, the u.s., as well as other countries, 0 great power and great importance, and it is interesting when you think about it, every president up to

united states of america, and there is a wide perception that u.s. banks can compete and take market share, take business in continental europe as well.an the united kingdom banks do the same thing? are you guys in a position to be like the american banks and really compete for business? on the continent? two or three things are relevant here. as in many things, the u.k. is halfway across the atlantic. our banks are pretty well-capitalized, better than some banks in europe. but there are several differences going on. one is that of course there is a dividend ban in the u.k. and in europe, and there isn't in the u.s. u.s. banks have continued to pay out ordinary dividends, and that has helped their position in the markets. the second thing is that we in the u.k. have a handicap as a result of the legislation which requires us to separate our investment banking operations from commercial banking operations, and it places a cost of capital penalty on those investment banking operations, and that has had an impact on the market share of u.k. banks and investment banking markets. and so what you have seen is with u.s. banks, they have been

united states and the europe, as well. how long can that be sustained? andrew: so, we've seen that in the past. the u.s., the u.k., and others outside of the continentalopean union have been better at generating inflations. inflation expectations were already low in europe, such a long up a of low inflation expectations. it seems reasonably likely that will continue. that said, i do think there's been some relatively positive signs on european growth. this year, the european policy response, we may be less pessimistic at pimco on the european outlook. so, that could lead to some greater reflation in europe over time. time,ell, it can be over but the fact is we see a disinflation and an inflation. is it a partition of goods and services? or is there something else going on, for example, productivity? andrew: so, i think you had this big hit across a number of sectors, so just technically, you have certain sectors with very low inflation. it'd be great if there were signs of high volatility growth. if that could happen coming out of this crisis, that would be a great positive. i'm not sure i'd leave much room for that kind of optimism at the moment. and
