earlier we talked about the surf national cyber director, and he obviously is an alum of the nsa having previously served as deputy director and we has -- we have also alums now with jenny seeley heading --deputy national security adviser for cyber. could you tell us a little bit how nse -- nsa interacts with the office of the national cyber direction -- director? gen. nakasone: we are proud of chris and jen and ann. to be named to those positions that are in the leadership of what we are doing is great credit not only to them but to our agency and the weekly --work we have done for many years. chris could not have been a better choice in terms of being the national cyber director based upon his work on the commission. right now being able to bring together so many different players in how we defend the nation in cyberspace in the thought process of what are the unique values that each element of the government brings, so we as an element of the department of defense are very closely working with chris and in both our role as national security agency and as u.s. cyber command. chris has

the cvs speech to the nation from the 1942 annual naecp national conference, willky cast the bain of imperialism as the essence of the fight to free people from its omnipresent arrogance. we seek to lib rat, not to enslave, people claimed, but the truth was that americans practiced within our own boundaries something that amounts to race imperialism, the attitude of white citizens towards the negroes as undoubtedly had some of the unlovely and tragic characteristics of an alien imperialism. an article by nonpracticing jew, willky closed his notable saturday evening point rejoinder, the case for minorities with a warning 245 our way of living together in america is a strong but delicate fabric. for god's sake, let us not turn it asunder, for no man knows once it's destroyed, no man will find it again. reported to the credit as they espoused. the leaders of turkey, iran, syria and iraq followed by ten days in the soviet union with stalin and his moment and seven days in china, the shanghai shack and a picture perfect gauge of the impact left in the train of willky's progress with that

when you think about at the national security agency, we hire 1,500 this year. u.s. cyber command, 200 people this year. we're looking for top talent. we're looking for the best of the best to come and work in a mission that is so critical to our nation. and so people say, what do you think about a lot? i think about talent and i think where do i get better talent. because the same talent that i'm trying to get is the same talent that is being wooed by private industry. this is an issue for us. i thought a lot about this in three years. i think the way that we approach it as a government is good but it has to get better if we're going to continue that high standard of talent. second piece, i think all about readiness. i think how we're going to do our missions better. let me give you an example. so i talked a little bit about n.s.a. and our foreign intelligence mission. you can well imagine that indications of warning is really important to us. how do we ensure we understand both, you know, the intent of an adversary and perhaps their capability? nsa has done this for

nationalism, the different countries, english nationalism began patsy by being a victim of the periphery is a rating parties from scotland. wyman, as well as from the european continent, breaking up the mission that existed at the time of the fall of the roman empire and been in the later stage. it's more a strength from england. i'm moving in in different ways and in different respect. on the peripheral countries, whales, ireland, and scotland, the only one of the 3 which wasn't conquered by england. but of course, all these nations borrow from each other and english nationalism. as, for example, you could find it in various from the place of shakespeare. you can't say shakes, i believe this, but he commits, of his characters appeared to believe it. and the irish welsh, the scots borrowed from they could get from shakespeare and from various other writers, and as the english like it or not, the severson. but shakespeare settings unpleasantly because he sadly pleased during the reign of elizabeth the fast a was a very much a exemplifying and then heralding an english nationalism will. pl

the new nation, you see maps show up everywhere and everybody keeps there are in the map of this one nation with one set of political boundaries over and over and over. they hang it on walls in the taverns and put on teacups and if you're surrounded of this map of your self in relationship to others, then you will begin to perceive yourself as one with all of these others and so the maps become one way of thinking about a national union it in a national identity. and of course part of what we are talking about as we see race with an imagined community and how do you imagine yourself in community with people you will never meet and people that you have never met an people you know very little about and yet you are suddenly one people with them. apps are one way to imagine yourself as one people. the other thing that happens is right so if you get the celebrations of the fourth of july for example in this begin to happen all over the place with civic speeches and so forth and so in a certain sense to practice your self as one people and it is everybody in all colonies they are in effect

you get the sense of nationalism. by the time the emerging historical association founded in 1984, 200 of the societies have an open across various states. actually some of the biggest and strongest and most well supported was working in the midwest. wisconsin and iowa in such places they really wanted to collected no history, the state supported the things pretty sort is a the significance of one of those things that i sent's history when even in the idea that rn of the sermon which you begin to understand that these unknown places like historical societies are all embedded in the way that we told nation story. reagan cannot call america city and help without in effect, the sermon being found and how is about braided historical societies keep it in printed which is to say that the language of american politics, the body for more than is a spike of beliefs or policy positions also contain the whole history of these primaries, historical societies, archives and so on. all sorts of individuals and institutions that colle

things we've said if it's affecting the nation's security, nsa and u.scommand will be in the middle and we want to make sure whatever we can do to assist law enforcement or the department of homeland security, we want to be the best partner. what does surge means? here for us when we search, we bring our best people togethere and focus on a singular problem, we look at different creative ways to get at the problem, but think about how we generate insights on and share information on fact, how we perhaps impact back to the betterment of the nation. surgeons are one of those things i think we do very well here, particularly on a focused problem liketi ransomware. >> if you had a vision, where you think -- i have lots of plans to say is this ever going to be over? i imagine a moment when it's over but how do you think we live long term with this? >> if this is national security, there will be a a number of different levels we will operate in and be able to go after this. there is going to be a policy level in terms of what we need to do and national securit

you know, way i, jack and the united nations, very good things. i and i plan, especially all 3 work done by the world health organization and the international labor office and the world intellectual property organization. but of course, those highly political issues are, what does the security council do to preserve the piece that is actually the principal or on the united nations daughter commitment to human rights, a commitment to the right for the development in all of those areas. we are limping and we're limping badly. and of course human rights. we have the standard. i mean the norms are there, the mechanisms are there what we don't have is and for the special rock will occur for the human rights council. they are like, and the procedure of electing the expert is anything but perfect is extremely political. and for that reason, usually most rock curves are those people who are going to told a lie in friend is just to interrupt that. we've had very good ones on this program arguably. yeah, i think that's a good news. the good news is we have

so getting back to the national school board association matter. worried about dwizs and critical race theory and speaking their minds about mask mandates. this is the very core of constitutionally protected speech. and free speech is deadly to the tyranny of government. and is the life blood of our constitutional republic. to say your policies are outside of the mainstream could be an understatement. mothers and fathers have a vested interest in how schools educate their children. they are not, as the biden justice department apparently believes them to be, national security threats. what is a national security threat is things like ms. 13. what is a national security is like our open southern borders. what is a national security threat is the federal government failing to adequately vet individuals from afghanistan. i suggest that you quickly change your course because you are losing credibility with the american people and with this senator in particular. thank you. >> thank you senator grassley. welcome honorable merrick garland to testify befor

and the united nations -- at the united nations in september, i announced that my administration is working with the congress to quadruple our climate finance support for developing countries by 2024, including significant increases to support for adaptation efforts. this commitment is made possible to each of our collective goals and mobilizing $100 billion annually for climate finance. mobilizing finance at a scale necessary to meet the incredible need is an all hands-on deck effort. as other speakers today mentioned, governments and the private sector and multilateral development banks must also do their work to go from millions to billions to trillions the necessary effect of this transition. today, i'm also submitting a new adaptation communication, laying out how we'll implement the global goal of adaptation as well as announcing our first-ever contribution to the adaptation fund. our commitment is about more than just financing. that's a critical piece of it. we're also going to support solutions across the board. in the leadup to this gathering, the united states joined our g-7 part

the. busy latest nation to reports a suspected case. the developers of sputnik, we are preparing to test the russian shot against this new mutation. we hear from the hungarian foreign minister about his own country's vaccine policy on the need to pod lives above the politics. there are too many countries. i'm considering the issues of vaccination as if it had a political order or i don't recall nature, you know, it's about little to people in well i didn't.

the latest nation fund cases. the developers of foot, nick v are preparing to test the russian shore. they gave me new wilson hair from the hungarian foreign minister about his own country and boxing policy and the need to put lives above the policy. there are few and many countries considering issues or by explanation as even if had a political or, or ideological nature. you know, it's about liable to be to protest those are killed and almost 20 injured by the french military and asia, according to the country's government. off the french military convoy wouldn't been a violent.

the niac, the national instruction advisory council. i can't say enough good things about the solarium commission. at the end of the day there are a lot out there that the government does, but very few have actually and able to come up with recommendations that found their way into law. and certainly, this one did and you know, to be honest, that's before i was even nominated, benefitted a lot from what was in the nda. one of those things, matt, was the jcpo, the joint cyber planning office. and the idea behind this is really bringing people together from the government and from the private sector to plan proactively against major threats to the nation. but if you actually look at the legislation, it's much more than planning. it's creating a common operating picture. it's planning, it's exercising and implementing cyber defense plans. and so, when i came on board, you know, being a retired military officers and somebody who has done a lot of planning in my life. i just thought this was a fabulous opportunity to do something early on, to

the sovereign nation? or the migrant?ecide who enters the country, not the migrant. and governor wilson had the courage despite being [inaudible] in the press for making that distinction. but that effort went on to result in the republican congress enacting laws that tried to eliminate the incentives at least at that time for encouraging undocumented immigration into this country, which unfortunately other administrations have allowed to lapse. so let me conclude as follows: we are here in the nixon library, and i know that one of president nixon's favorite quotes where nixon would say in a number of speeches that you have to wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been, and that quote, by the way, governor wilson actually quoted during his eulogy for president nixon at this very library. so let me end by saying this, now as we step back 25, 30 years from the wilson administration, we now can see how splendid the day was during governor wilson's tenure. thank you.

why is it that the richer nations _ problem worse. the richer nations have failed - problem worse. why is it that the richer nations have failed to - problem worse. why is it that the j richer nations have failed to meet the promises of that £75 billion to help fight climate change? {line the promises of that £75 billion to help fight climate change? one of the thin . s help fight climate change? one of the things that _ help fight climate change? one of the things that happened - help fight climate change? one of the things that happened sadly i help fight climate change? one of. the things that happened sadly was that in a sense we lost a lot of our bargaining power at the beginning of the year when the prime minister agreed to cut our aid budget from 0.7% of gdp to 0.5% and it's hard to ask other countries to cough up more when you were coughing up less so week started off on a bad know at the beginning of the year and we haven't made up that ground through the different cycles, so there is more, typically there is more commitment t

and of course the national cemetery which is more of a public, the whole purpose of national cemetery is paying tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. but in terms of this becomes a course for the global diplomacy, through a fascinating question, political question and foreign-policy question but you're absolutely, the question is absolutely accurate in putting out that the national cemetery in arlington has a page that you can find galleries and images going back to those years of every world leader is come to visit washington it later recently to the tomb of the unknown soldier and perhaps, part of the answer is that we have a a process available for these world leaders to pay tribute and perhaps part of it is well is that during that first time of the world war one unknowns, the unknown from world war i was decorated from a great number of nations, they sent did mention dignitaries to award some of their military quasars to the world war i and unknown as part of the service so perhaps a little bit of interest but perhaps part of the impact in the impo

>> the national security agency has two missions. nce into the other is cybersecurity. when i arrived, one of the things that i came to the realization is that we had lost a little bit of our way in cybersecurity and one of the things i wanted to do is reinvigorate what i thought would be important going into the future. at the best way that i knew how to do that is put one person in charge to give them the resourcesso and also the mission to make sure they were successful moving forward. so, in f the fall of 2019, we stood up the cybersecurity directorate under the leadership and from then we decided to different elements the director was going to be responsible for. the other piece was a new peace and that is the eradicate. what we want to be is not reporting on threats. we want to impact, to get to the outcomes against those threats from us of the word eradicate is the second piece of what they foare responsible for. so again, how do we look at andi adversary and a number of different partnerships and authorities ands, capabilities

>> so my memo itself doesn't mention the national security division. it is mentioned in another memo that was released by the department. the national security division like all the other law enforcement components cooperates with and is involved in discussions about how to go forward on different kinds of matters. they were involved for example in the election threats. they were involved in the threats against judges and prosecutors. they were involved in the hate crimes threats cases. it is a natural part of our internal analysis. >> let me ask you, did you see the national school board association letter to president biden before you issued your memorandum on october 4th? >> yes, i did. that was part of the reason their expression at the beginning of the memorandum -- >> they raised some of the concerns that you voiced here today, correct? >> they raised some of them. they raised others i do not agree with and were not included in my memo. >> well, you are aware on october 22nd the national school board association apologized for its letter. you are

james bays outside the united nation. all right, let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly help could hello the kimberly . the president tried to reassure americans a short time ago. what more did he have to say during his press conference? the u. s. president did have a message at largely to target the domestic audience, but he did address the criticisms. the u. s. has been facing with regard to vaccine inequality globally view as president in his message under scoring that the united states has shared hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines with 110 countries. and he is calling on the rest of the world to do the same. so the u. s. president certainly addressing some of those criticisms, but at the same time, reassuring americans that there is no need to panic in his view. with regard to this new, highly contagious ami con variant that he believes the science in place in the united states is effective. there is a belief, although it's still not understood fully, that the vaccines that many americans have alr
