you can talk about authoritarianism, you can talk about democratic setbacks and in that situation there are different kinds of human rights, not necessarily. but yet again they said that to have an advocacy, pick one thing. so once again it is an issue that is very close to my heart. and i have become the direct part of this because i have been charged as well. so yes. we came with an and -- international advocacy designed to raise international awareness of critical issues like -- raise awareness especially around different communities outside of thailand because i cannot return home. but since i am sitting outside, i might as well take advantage of my position in collecting different communities, for example. i what a few times of year come to north america and europe and australia to try and make a connection with other people. i had a meeting with the state department this morning and last week i was invited by what they call the global affairs of canada. basically the foreign ministry of canada. the meeting was fruitful. i mean, linking up with government liable organize a -- level

we are| talking about on the one hand talking about on the one hand talking about on the one hand talkingwe are talking about hezbollah, that have... and crimes against humanity for syria for years but on the other hand we are also talking about groups like... have also been committing violations and crimes whether in the lib or other areas and other regions, but in the past few days from civilians, from people, we know in aleppo and in other cities as well is that they are terrified because they don't really know what is happening, but i think unfortunately we can only wait and we can only hope that there will be an international emergency declared and what we know of is that society groups and other groups who are inside syria today are also doing their best today are also doing their best to make sure that the rights and dignity of all civilians are protected. the un agency for palestinian refugees says it's halting aid deliveries through kerem shalom, the main crossing between israel and gaza. the head of unrwa, philippe lazzarini, said the decision had been taken because two convoys

so while i love talking about innovation, i love talking about government and policy. what i find is the last piece of the equation that's hardly ever talked is how we are resistant to change. and that's what we have to do. we i can tell you story after story of switching fleets from diesel to propane, diesel to renewable propane. they saved money. the mechanics like it better, the drivers like it better, the communities like it better. and still each conversion is a bit of a challenge. a lot of heads nodding. so i do want to get to some questions, folks. if you have a question, you just put your hand right up and someone with the mic will be right over it. we're just excited. okay, keep nodding along. no, i like it very much. i look, i'm going to ask you all this question, but jennifer, i will start with you. transportation and we know is a major contributor right to greenhouse gas emissions. so what are the most promising strategies and technologies for decarbonization in this sector? well, i think tucker started by talking about direct conversion of co2. right. peop

talks aimed at negotiating _ question. talks aimed at negotiating a _ question. a global treaty question. talks aimed at - negotiating a global treaty to reduce plastic pollution has failed. the negotiators from 175 countries, meeting in south korea, were unable to reach agreement on key issues, including reducing the amount of plastic produced in the first place. our environment correspondent jonah fisher has more. this was supposed to be the moment the world came together to tackle its addiction to plastic. but after two years of talks, the last week of it in south korea, there was no sign of a global plastics treaty. a few critical issues still prevent us from reaching a comprehensive agreement. the key one, whether we need to reduce the amount of plastic we make. this year, the world made 430 million tonnes of plastic and that figure could triple by 2016 — member 2060. just 9% of it ends up being recycled, with the rest going to landfill, being burnt or dumped at sea. plastic is mostly made from fossil fuels and at the talks it was oil—producing countries who

i talk about like the food we are eating, or the bakery, talk about taco tuesday.especially with everything going on in the news about the houthis that they knew that the kids were in good hands. >> not everybody up the chain like this tactic? >> i would guess some did not, but generally there is no opposition. so i went ahead with it. and again i had a lot of help -- [inaudible] i went ahead and pull that off. i can't be perfect, but i think overall it was very successful -- [inaudible] very limited parameters i could post but i did not exceed the. >> what is your advice then -- i talked to the captain of the truman as he was preparing to leave and he said i'm not going to be -- >> yeah, i don't know. my advice is i would like to see more people did. do. i'll tell you there's a lot of active-duty military posting that has way more followers than i do that put out some really good content. it's great for recruiting. we need that. they do this out of the love of the job they don't do because they get any recognition because i don't think the get any recognition. we

not talking about entrepreneurship, not talking about research, not talking about all that's out theret led me to actually build my own gpt to feed it the information that i need so that as i go into these states dealing with some state legislators that won't let us talk about diversity, equity and inclusion, i can now actually create language that still puts nvidia in a place that allows us to act on the social good piece and put hbcu's in the same classification to work with the business schools and our start-up programs, to work with the researchers at the universities there are trying to go from r-2's to r-1's, r-3's to r-2's. i stay to state legislators if you're not using the tools that you're trying to legislate. that's a problem. that's a risk. and so, i implore you, hit-- i don't check my calendar, i'll send you a calendar link, and i promise i'll get to the meeting -- diya, don't mess with me -- i'm trying it figure out how to partner with your state to bring these efforts, how do we walk alongside your universities, how do we walk alongside of you with your legislation, we s

so maybe we can do that as well and so the answer is, let's talk with them. this talk with them. i'm of the way, the cia would be really well we could talk without to the cia and by the way, we've not had a embassy damascus for more than ten years. ... we could do it little by little. you know, intersection perhaps. >> a little carrots and sticks. >> exactly correct. by the way, what is going on with the russians? will they come today or not? you know? the answer is we don't know. we really don't know. and oh, by the way is there as well. actually, they are there really early. what are we going to do and then all of the sudden our friends, the kurds, are there as well. boy, this is really complicated. >> in that equation you said we should talk to them. >> quietly. >> what about turkey? i was going to bring it up u.s. and turkey has had, how can i describe it, not the most favorite a bit of a sour relationship over the past many years to put it in the most diplomatic way.

right now most republican insiders and democrats that i'm talking to, and others are talking to on the hill, still believe this is a nomination that will not make it through. >> we shall see. as for the president-elect, he's lashing out at the wall street journal for its reporting on a cabinet pick that withdrew their name from consideration earlier this week. we will dig into that. also ahead, the manhunt continues this morning for the suspect who shot and killed the ceo of united healthcare in midtown manhattan. we will bring you the very latest in that investigation. good morning and welcome to "morning joe." it's thursday, december 5th. along with joe, willie and me we have a host of way too early, jonathan mayer. most of politics nation, reverend al sharpton. shall we diving? >> what you think? you can. absolutely. >> point of personal privilege. yesterday we had a good friend of ours on the show. a guy who has been a guest for some time. a guy who, he knows, has been one of my heroes for years now. a great writer, david. he writes for the atlantic. david came on the show yesterda

we're talking about a ban and we're talking about a ban.ey did as coleman said, they made it much more difficult for most minors to get particularly, uh hormone therapy. and other kinds of medical sort of procedures that are related to this so i think that's kind of the, the, the question is, i mean, is there a case to be made to just wait for minors just for this population of people under the age of 18 to wait until they are older? they're they're fully developed. they have agency over their own lives and can make those decisions and also for the science to develop much more clarity on on the consequences. >> i think that's a great question. and can we think of any other circumstance in which medically necessary care is denied to someone until they turn 18, based on their sex? >> i think the the dispute is over whether it's the medical best choice. >> that's precisely the question that my point in bringing up western europe is not to draw a direct link to the ban. it's to say if some of the most advanced societies in the world have change

so let's talk really quickly. john did a great job talking about the the german air commanders at the time. and obviously, it all kind of comes back to hermann goering at this point. now. now, goering was starting to fall out of favor with hitler. and as soon as that to happen, the german commander started to fall out of favor with goering. galon is obviously still around in december of 1944, but his influence is waning. he has not been fired yet, but that's so really when you look at what the germans planned to do and hitler, goering or the luftwaffe to come up with 3000 fighters to support the offensive in that. listen, that is a great number of aircraft left. if they existed which at the time they did not german air force command west noted that they had no more than 2200 aircraft of all types, not just fighters. when you put in light, medium heavy, whatever you wanted, german air force wise could come up with no more than 2200 aircraft for this offensive, a far reach from what and goering wanted. in addition,

you talk about it in the book defending clinton and prosecuting trump to talk to "in such a difficultthing. in all these different things get now on this set of facts going forward. and a hero for vietnam during a difficult time. the sanctions. what was your question? >> one thing to talk about for. >> we knew this would be a big year. we've been in rooms before, a very good law enforcement. and the mueller there. i've been in hearings two or three years earlier and was being too cute. what answer the questions he would just stare. walk in the room and nadler walked through and going through questioning i asked about a simple issue of collusion and he didn't have control over the. this would be difficult and somewhat it acknowledged that. they built this narrative for months and then they have a report that doesn't draw the conclusions they want and they were in a summary beforehand and they were redacted talk about hiding things from in the didn't get the balance. >> i came back and i have to admit talk about this in the book. it was left open. the benefit of history looking back, it

larry was talking about -- larry allen was talking about a76.aybe bringing back competitive sourcing. that is a dark joke. what can you tell us about what has been forecast that we can expect to see in this administration? david: in the 1980's, i oversaw more competitive sourcing contracts and in history. number one, the government tended to win a big chunk of those. they have an advantage. they can be higher cost than the contractor and yet still when the contract. -- win the contract. regardless of who won, the job became cheaper, more effective, more efficient. there are real benefits no matter who wins and that deserves a revisit. more broadly, the issues at stake for the incoming administration is a core question of parts of the government they don't support continuing. you've heard mention of the department of government efficiency. it is not a department. i don't yet know whether it is efficient or not or will become something. it's important to keep in mind the incoming team is not here yet. inauguration day is january 20. five weeks fro

you know, and we talked about changes and we can talk that in a bit. but he was like, we need to be more transparent about what we're doing because they search mar a lago, the fbi and the doj said nothing for the first two days, there was an attack on an fbi field office. a guy tried ram his car and get in it and i found there actually attacks on three more fbi field offices. but the fbi didn't make them public. then merrick garland got up and said, i ordered this search. i full responsibility. but by then, all of the conspiracy theories had spread. and just quickly, this fbi official who didn't want to be named is left, but he's afraid of going public. he said that the fbi and, doj have to change. they have to more open and transparent with the public. and he said, like in the digital, in a hyperpartisan age, trust me, doesn't cut. and i do think. there are major reforms that need to be made in the doj and fbi and again, just because we're a lot of the book and we're focusing a lot on the trump presidency and the the things that that did to undermine

stay with us. >>> we are talking with dr. houston smith author of the textbook the world's great religion. you have taken us from your birth in rural china and we have gotten to about 17 or 18 in rural missouri. i went to high school at the confluence of the illinois, mississippi river. >> very humid. >> it may be bright lights but not the brightest in the country. talk to us then about your personal journey from returning. >> i was saying i come thinking i would be going back as a missionary. but when dynamism of the west swept me up, i knew i wouldn't go back. so i moved next door. rather than being a missionary, i would be a minister. that held in place for the first two years in college. in my junior here, something unexpected happened. namely, ideas jumped to life in my mind. and it was so exciting. and i knew that that's where i wanted to pour my life and my energy into ideas, actually ideas connecting with my background in religion. then i realized that the ministry with all great honor to ministers, nevertheless, dema

let's talk to chris williamson, chief business... always good to talk to you.his, coming at a time with the german economy, explained that economic background? it explained that economic background?— explained that economic background? it comes at a particularly _ background? it comes at a particularly bad _ background? it comes at a particularly bad time - background? it comes at a particularly bad time for i particularly bad time for germany, its economy has been struggling in recent years, especially since the ukraine war, lots of its industry it turned out was using cheap energy from russia which got cut off when the war came so suddenly had to use more expensive energy, making its goods less competitive in the international markets. at the same time, there is a lot of competition from countries such as china on the auto industry, the shift to electric vehicles has really hit hard at germany's central automotive sector, a big driving force behind the german economy so more expensive energy, big competition in one of its fiercest markets has really dented gr

i talked about it being a really bad idea. i did not want to see any type of the commission that is designed to hunt down woke generals. i think people that wear the uniform salute to the political leadership and not the other way around. not to say they're not people with bad agendas that wear uniforms, but i don't think forming a commission to go after is the right message to send to aspiring generals. or, for that matter, privates and insurgents. he is very clear that the culture is a problem and i agree with them. but, i don't think it is a generals guiding the culture. i thought he was very favorably responsive to those points. >> are you ready to vote for him ? >> i'm ready to give him the benefit of the doubt. i also said there is no one on the committee that does not earn our respect and certainly there are people like joni ernst veteran more than i will ever earn given their history. i was very favorably impressed, quite honestly. i see no reason at this point to not be supportive of it. >> is he currently drinking or

we are going to talk about the acquisition landscape, or whatever else he would like to talk about. he is earned of that privilege. david islam or secretary of defense for logistics and matÉriel readiness picky oversaw the management of the $170 billion in department of defense logistic funding, at least that's what was at the time. he's a fall of the national academy of public administration and is a director of the procurement roundtable. said david thank you for being with us. why did you give those in the realm of may not know about it, which would surprise me, but it's your chance to give a little plug for the psc. >> thanks, robert. psc is a trade association. is it on? yes, it is on now. all right. thanks robert. psc as a trade association and represents federal government and private sector for-profit contractors. if you're a private sector for-profit contractor even if your current experiencing a loss we are your folks. not everybody is in this business to make money but that's why we are here. represent all agencies, all sizes of copies of all types of contracts and work.

we had talked with some of folks. i checked up them after we had talked. i checked with him and he had left the job. he had finally left the job. he's working in a pharmacy in a hospital where he gets to do a lot of that. so i give him for stopping what he was doing. yeah, that's a that's a really powerful example. i think of a bigger question that i really grappled with in book that i feel like i'm asked about a lot, especially in the context of feminism in the workplace, which is like why is bigger always, better, and why is more always the goal? and one of the things that i am kind of, you know, still trying to figure out how to answer, like when do we say enough is enough, right? at what point is growth at all cause? it doesn't matter that you're making employees miserable. it doesn't that, you know, right now the modern is essentially like, how do i get you to work as much as possible by giving you the least amount of support, the least amount of family leave, the least amount of salary, least the smallest raise that i can give i mean, i literally sit

we don't talk about that anymore. but, it was real and is quite significant, and i don't imagine that it is going to change, and probably get worse in this administration. i actually was thinking about when you mentioned mike bloomberg because i worked on that third race, that controversial race. >> i remember that. >> but, i also remember in 2005, running for re-election, he got 47% of the black vote. what is interesting about mike bloomberg, you may have disagreed with him on some policy, but he was very clear that he wanted to put good people in positions that actually cared about management. >> and he did! >> and he did. and to answer your question about donald trump, putting loyalists there is one thing but putting loyalists there with no interest in serving the public as a whole different story. if they are there to not only pay fealty to him, but also to extend their own ambitions, that is where it becomes problematic. if you don't go to the fbi, any other sources where people actually look into your background

it is the pulse to whether or you know, dave was talking about deployment at a agencies, but you talk about developers. like, security has to be the culture. my wife was a software developer, and i remember when i started doing the 15, 16 years ago, she worked at a major government contractor, big organization. i asked, like, so how do you -- what is the thinking for -- i think i used -- [inaudible] you're not coding them n. we don't. we're writing to the funkalty. and, you know, two of my kids are in college now studying software engineering. there is some education on cybersecurity, but my middle one probably because he's heard me talk too much at home had to seek out a class where he's learning about secure coding and avoiding vulnerabilities. and that should be mandatory. and it should be fundamental to the culture of these organizations, that we're building code, we're building software that does not have vulnerabilities. if that's where, to me, it has to stop -- start, and that's how you're going to two get to the policy and the technology. >> yeah, i couldn't agree more. i was

but we're not talking about that.ting you in appalachia and in harlem are the people he's putting on his cabinet. >> so, mike, on rev's point about democrats coming in, need to figure out their level of resistance, we talked earlier that trump camp is sending signals maybe they are willing to deal on this or that. we have seen in the past donald trump himself usually blows that up. but if there is a good faith effort here to try to get a few things done, even around the edges, should democrats take that opportunity or should it just be pure resistance? to rev's point, there is a lot of uncertainty and anger in the country, but eyes on washington too. >> hakeem jeffreys is going to be -- that's a question for him. >> i'll skim had too. right now i'm asking you. >> oh, okay. i didn't know you were addressing me. yeah, they should cooperate to get something done that is positive. they should not cooperate if it is the usual republican stuff that the republicans are talking about. for instance, what were they talking abou

talk about-- i'll first go to you representative slotkin, talk about your approach. how did you fundamentally come to washington with that? it's different than i think a lot of other peoplements first of all, i've always come from a district that voted for donald trump and elissa slotkin on the same ballot so that's a pretty different mandate than maybe some of my peers. right it? it means the minute i walked in as an elected official it was my responsibility to find the areas where we could agree. and i think over the last six years, i have tried to come up with sort of a philosophy on things, which is what are the things i should compromise on in order to get things done for veterans, for farmers, for people in rural communities, whatever it is, and what are the things i should never compromise on, that are values protecting our rights and our democracy and that's kind of my model, which means there's a lot of overlap, you know, john and i are the two senators-elect who are in the problem solvers caucus, we're in a caucus where you choose, you literally sign a civi

i remember talking to one nurse outside of reno. when people asked her about abortion, she put them in touch with a clinic, different options for how you might even pay for it. so they had all the mission there. in other women have the experience where the providers think they can't talk about the topic at all on the clock. so they feel compelled to clock out and read it feels a lot of people were doing yeoman's work trying to help. but there is no standard policy based two send clinic clinic. >> that is not just for this issue, it is women's health care across dod. one thing the department of defense could do is put up your guidance on what you can talk to your patients about to eliminate that uncertainty concern. what i found in my researches a lot of folks who have been trying to access care are like i have -- and shared it with me. that is how i knew where to go. by the way, there were three crisis pregnancy centers listed on it. so there's not a central repository of information, there's no training on it in basic or officer tr

we have results in, it is nice to have results to talk about. some are outstanding but we have a fantastic panel today to talk about what the results mean for education moving forward. with me today is a wonderful panel. from my right to left, heather harding is executive director of the campaign for our shared future and her work focuses on the intersection of access to high quality education on racial equity. frederick hess is director of education policies here at aei. he is an executive editor education next and senior contributor to forbes and that is just the beginning of where his writing can be found. to his right is the director of education freedom and parental rights initiative at the defense of freedom institute. ginny is a lifelong school advocate. thank you for joining us this morning. then preston cooper, senior fellow here at aei in education policy studies. he focuses on the return to investment in higher education student loans and higher education reform. and last but not least, derrell bradford, who leads our communications a

so let's talk the book. i guess the best way to start here is to ask you about your journey and why you wrote this book. well, first of all, thank you for doing this. i, i sprang this on you, but it's a it's good to be here among a lot of familiar faces, a lot of friends, a little bit of family to answer a question why this book? i, i wanted to write. it's a bit of a high school passion and grew up in india and being able think about, you know, the idea of a career in writing was kind of nonsensical. the first thing you had to do prior to number 1 to 10 was to figure out how to make a living. it's something that was tucked away and at the ripe old age, 58, 59, when i left softbank, it was a case of no one, never. so i enrolled at the and i wanted to be in new york and i wanted to get i wrote a little bit, but i knew i had a lot to learn in all humility, and i enrolled at nyu in a was a two year master degree and i did not, contrary to what a lot of people believe, enrolled with the idea of writing this book.

we're talking about humanity. we're talking about people who are sick.e talking about something that happens every single day in new york city, and we do nothing about it. >> daniel penny is a hero. i agree with virtually everything kerry said. except except for freeze frame. >> this is shocking. >> except for one one quibble. and that is, you said there were failures on all sides. there were a lot of failures here. the only person who did not fail was penny. penny was a good samaritan. he stood up for his fellow citizens in a moment when a lot of people would have not been able to, would have not wanted to, could not have summoned the courage or will to do so. and so thank god for the good samaritans. i think that i think the biggest failure here, honestly, alvin bragg is a disgrace. he ought to resign. this man was a hero. he had his name and his life dragged through the mud for absolutely no reason other than he thought it would. please radical political constituencies that he has. it is an absolute disgrace what the prosecutors did to this man. absol

you talk about derisking. obviously have a great panoramic view of what's going on in the world. you've got a busy desk. what trends are you saying around the globe that's informing some of the decisions you are making and some of the policies to ensure we are seeing sustainable economic growth? >> obviously we live in a very busy timeslots going on. >> i mean look, i've been in this job for about three at d half years. it's been eventful. a number of crises that have taken place over that time. but ultimately, i have followed in my areas, which is economics, energy and the environment, it's basically a couple of principles. principles. principle number one is we have got two competitive advantages. one is our private sector. the private sector at its best can be our best ambassadors for our values but it's also our allies and partners. the u.s. is in the envy of the world in terms of our alliances, terms of a partnership. the longest border in the world is with canada. the mexican border is one of the top fiv

like we talk about the deep state. we talk fine. if that's your your premise for the next four years, go forth and do it. i don't have to agree with it. informants in the criminal justice system are never really exposed, because part of the reason why they are able to actually, like, make a case against someone who has done bad behavior is to protect their identity. their. called confidences, confidential informants for a reason, because they are confidential. you do not want to expose them. i'm not sure why the january 6th committee, but to the former congressman's point, it wasn't actually an investigation on the sea ice. it was an investigation on donald trump. so the fact that we did not know that they were there on that day actually. and if if you actually want to talk about the stability of your federal, your investigation unit is actually a good thing because you don't want your spies exposed. now, if you don't actually like that, then then don't do this in anyway. don't do sea ice and drug busts. don't do sea ice and rico ca

what are you talking about here?: earlier in the conversation when i was talking about community narratives. and why they are so powerful. that quote sort of goes to why we have them in the first place. you know, i'm trying to explain why when you moved to a town with your behavior change to reflect the norms of the town, even if you are not doing it consciously. i was talking about there is all this wonderful data about how when doctors move from one city to the next, the way they practice medicine changes. they adopt the norms of the community they are joining. and clearly not consciously. it's not like they are sitting down, they just go there and suddenly become a different kind of doctor. i think the reason it happens is that for any number of deep evolutionary reasons, we are really, really good at this. picking up what it means to join a new community. working at c-span is very different than working at espn. when you start at c-span you quickly pick up the c-span-ness of it just like if you move to hartford a

pavel joins us to talk more about that. let's talk about it here.e coming into this year that the biggest gains in the equity market would be power companies i would've said you are crazy but here we are at the end of 2024 talking about utilities and power companies. that continues to be the story next year? pavel: this is the derivative trade on ai. the euphoria around ai touches what we might call the picks and shovels of the electric power industry. the utility stocks, the equipment provider, so everything from gas turbines, wind turbines, solar panels, battery systems, and also the construction companies that are physically building all of this energy infrastructure to accommodate the boom in electric power consumption. romaine: we talk about the building of this infrastructure and you have new infrastructure in the u.s., you have old infrastructure coming back online. is there enough out there for these companies to draw on or are we going to be facing significant shortages in power given some of the demand needs we know of, at least when it co

we've talked about outsourcing before. back when i got started in 1983, it's called facilities management and who remembers a-76? okay. so we're always trying to outsource and there is some degree of outsourcing today, but we're trying to outsource in large quantities, government functions and assume that that's going to create more efficiency and cost effectiveness and that's not necessarily the case if it's not the blocking and tackling. and the people there today, try to inform the incoming folks. what would you change? what gets in your way of making progress and doing the best job you can for the american people? those are the two things that i would focus on. >> and maria, you've had firsthand experience with this sort of transition of being the career representative as the political leaderships coming in. what advice would you give to folks that are in this role? >> i think that tim makes good points about continuing the blocking and tackling and i was always prepared to say as a cio, i would give you that example.

yeah in order to talk about now, i have to talk about then. right. i'm black trans person from texas and i grew in a very religious household. when i say very religious, i mean, my mom played the piano in church and my dad was of the preachers. so i was that church that was like at church on wednesday and sunday. and sometimes saturday because my dad like mow the lawn at the church like i was there all the time i had to go to sunday school, had to go, to choir practice with my mom to go to all of those things. so you know, i think that the lexicon of church like the the teachings of church, like even if i'm like not a person that necessarily still goes to church, it's like still embedded who i am. so much of like we are is driven the systems that we grew up in. so those systems are usually something like school. and then like if you were a person that went a community center, it's a community center and then things like church organized. so i talk a lot in the book about how that church upbringing impacted, right as a trans person and also impacted t
