i know you are tired. i know you are frustrated. we all want this to be over, but we are still in it. this is a critical moment, but we have more tools than before. we are ready. as we head into the holidays, i want us to keep the faith. i want to thank you for your courage, acts of kindness, love, sacrifices during these past two years. we have been tested as a people and as a nation through war and turmoil. we have asked whether we would be safe, be ok, get back to who we are. we have always endured because there is no challenge too big for america. no challenge. we come through better and stronger because we stayed together as the united states of america. that is what we have to keep doing today. we can do this together. i guarantee you. may god bless you all. may god protect our troops. happy holidays. god love you all. pres. biden: on testing -- reporter: on testing, it said we have to do better. public health officials have been saying for months that we need to do more testing. it is a failure that you do not have an adequat

we are seeing that a lot of shoppers are able to -- it looks like a lot of shoppers are able to leave. we saw some cars pulling out of the parking lot, we saw a large group allowed to leave the exits to the west ridge mall. again, this is still a developing situation. they have not secured the situation yet because they do not exactly know what really happened. earlier, san jose mayor sam accardo said there was not an active shooter situation. one person was shot, unclear if they had apprehended the suspect in all of this. the shooter in all of this. now, we are hearing from police that we don't even know if there was a victim in all of this yet. we no shots were fired, they went around looking for the shooter but now they are essentially looking for the victim. so again, not a secure situation but it looks like they have ruled out the possibility of it being an active shooter situation. it looks like they are trying to figure out what happened and to find the individuals involved. >> that is the situation just south of 85. intersection with 87, a little bit south of 85, the intersect

kids are suffering and teens are suffering.at would this bill do and what if he enough to protect kids online? ariel: it will be a huge step forward to protect kids and teenagers online and that is critical. right now, a 13-year-old is treated like a 35-year-old, they do not have any additional protections online in america. except some in california. this bill would ensure that teens, 13-year-olds to 15-year-olds, are protected. it would ban targeted advertising to children. it would establish a digital marketing bill of rights for teenagers, it would establish a privacy division at the federal trade commission, the enforcer, and it would ensure that kids and teens are protected on the sites they are on. and that sites could not turn a blind eye and put 10 like they did not have young users, which we know is how many companies operate right now. emily: many of these companies make the argument that kids are using technology whether we like it or not, so someone has to build the experience for them. who should be building those

are they not telling the truth or what are the facts here?> senator, i'm saying at this point in time i am not seeing any impact from that. we work very closely with our union partners and met with them within the last week or so, and we are not seeing any indication that there has been any impact on our staff up to this point. >> passengers across the country are having their flights canceled by the hundreds and thousands. that might have a different perspective on that. bob >> thank you, senator cruz. i want to thank you for your leadership and help in forming the legislation that we passed last year as the subcommittee chairmen at the time very much appreciate your input on that. we are going to have another aviation hearing, i forget the date, but in the near future that is going to review, obviously our actions on the various covid related bills. i think it will be an appropriate time to ask about the issues you brought up today. thank you. we have senator warnock and followed by senator thune. >> thank you so very much, madam chair. thi

what are analysts, what are strategists expecting?e very well this year, double-digit gains, but we are about 3% or so away from next year's end of year target, i believe the average is 4950. more concerns, but one of the saving graces is that earnings-per-share forecasts are coming in strong. the expectation that the end of next year will get 8.27% increase. i remember back in april, we were worried about margin compression. haven't really seen that come into play. we are also talking about a more bullish dollar because hedge funds are actually the most pro-dollar they have been in two years. at the end of last year, the consensus was a weaker dollar. we have not seen that play out either, and the question is whether that will continue. have we already priced in a lot of those rate hikes? also want to take a look at bonds because that is really where the consensus has been very confusing. this year we were expect and we would get something like a 2% for about 50 -- 2%. we are about 50 basis point below that on the 10 year. the consen

just so we are clear. that is the pace we are going.art of it is people are afraid of the names they are going to be called. they are afraid they're going to be called trans phobic. whatever that is. putting that aside, i do have a deep fear that the next generation is not going to respect biological differences between men and women. we should be terrified of that. what this ends up creating in a lot of different ways is the most confused and miserable generation in american history. raised by a political correct regime that has been afraid to tell people things that are biologically and metaphysically true. because for whatever reason they might have angrily someone, on their instagram or facebook post. you said it perfectly. we get the government that we tolerate. and we kind of had this idea that we can sit idly by and like i might not agree with that but as long as it unpacked -- it is impacting all of you now. that same sort of it doesn't mean anything if they go into a restroom. let me tell you a real story. what is the big deal

there are two ways of doing that. one is that the safety programming that we have the added another public affairs campaign we have which is now we are urging families and veterans alike even if you are not a period of a crisis to make a plan in the event that a crisis comes along. we are saying don't wait, reach out.ha even visit our web site the eight.gov/mental health and see all the kinds of information that we have available so you can plan for that eventuality. .. >> that is a great point to leave it at. thank you for joining washington post live. >> one thing you have really been focused on -- i know you are looking hard into this, this is a case of intense interest >> but i will underscore my appreciation. and i think it is an important story for you to get to the bottom of. >> i appreciate that we will look for a way to work with challenges lie ahead for veterans with that very serious responsibility but we are here to help. >> we will help you get to the bottom of that. i appreciate your time. >> thank you i

ebrahim: for us, there are two impacts. one is a gas prices are high. one of the largest energy importers. that is relevant for currency. for the central banks, it is more of an open question. you want to look through some of the supply-driven increase in inflation that is showing up here. but you reaction to energy price increases. when we look at the upcoming ecb decision, we think they will focus on the end of the disinflationary period. but i do not think they are the dominant driver here. they just contributed to the end of the disinflationary. caroline: the dominant theme of your recent research is the dollars smile. but you do go through some other risks. some being a china rebound, a dovish turn in the fed. how are you hedging that is? ebrahim: there is definitely a scenario next year that could see the dollars sell off. we came into this year thinking the dollar would be quite weak in the context of a multiyear bear market if the global economy holds up, but it is really about the chinese slowdown ultimately and a combination of factors suggest

tests are easy. this administration said you will get 500 million tests, less than two-persons in the united states well after the holidays are done. did the biden administration forget christmas comes every year december 25th? we know this virus is worse in the winter months. for this administration to say we were caught off guard. are they stupid or just focussed on vaccines to the detriment of everything else? it doesn't make any sense. >> that's a great point. i think that the biden administration admitted they didn't see this coming. they declared victory over the vaccine -- over the virus on the 4th of july. and said no to increased testing. mark was on america's newsroom earlier and he mentioned that the president, the first thing he did in it office was sign a 1.9-trillion dollars covid stimulus bill. if you are spending that much money, you will think that testing would be a part of. he reminded people that only 9% of that stimulus bill went to covid relief. >> i know. it was a premature dec

we are on a roll. is like moving at a pace that i didn't think possible during earlier parts of my career, making discoveries all the time. and discoveries that have profound consequences. look at what we are doing, caring people with stage iv cancer with immunotherapy, kids with sickle cell disease with gene therapy, so they are cured. things like that are exhilarating. that makes me optimistic. despite the terrible divisions in our society right now, the next generation is going to figure out how to fix it. >> dr. francis collins, thank you so much for sharing with us today. >> it is a joy to be with you. i have had a ball, as the director of this institution, which i dearly love. >> that is all we have time for. many more questions we could have asked, but thank you to dr. francis collins. happy holidays to everybody. we will be back in 20 22. in the meantime, if you want to check in on our programming, please go to washington post live dot com. >> book tv every sunday on c-span2 features leading au

which are demographic are more inclined to use these products? to these products help address the un- banked or under banked? how are they affecting small businesses in our macroeconomy? i am confident this hearing can provide given a range of witnesses we have here today. important to note we must exercise caution before we take regulatory action against products and some products who may need to overly protected by the exponential growth of these alternative financial products clearly shows consumers want them. so we should do two things. we should avoid doing two things but we should avoid punishing new products for not fitting within regulatory buckets that were already built. and we should clarify how they would in the current regulatory scheme. we should facilitate innovation my hands off approach certainly not i'm a republican on anarchist help with this hearing can lay out and find a way to solve it prefer actively always runs the risk of failing to adequately address the problem for the fact many times it addresses a problem that is not

ruth: there are certain elements that are frustrating.n to the outline of some of the proposed legislation. and i think it is inconsistent with some of the priorities for public policy. so, as an example, there is a lot of focus on what is called self-referencing? are you putting too many of your products together? but during the pandemic, one in three small businesses said they would have failed without digital skills. why? what they were able to do was connect with their users in different ways. when you search for a small business, you can get directed to the small business. that is a good thing. we have 6000 small businesses we who wrote in and said, we saw this. same with a number of things on racial equity. a real surge in searches about "where is a black-owned business near me." i think what is important, let's make sure we understand what they are trying to solve and work with them on what is it we are trying to address through products so that they are helpful in the ways they want. emily: facebook has taken a serious reputationa

are in older generations >> -- are the differences as stark as they are in older generations? no, they are not as stark. primarily because white young voters from the white millennials, white plurals, are more evenly divided between the parties then older white members of older white generations. >> this is a little bit of a trick question for you. are republicans also denying students the opportunity to vote using their campus address? >> we have some examples like in new hampshire for example, republican state constant harassment and litigation related to young people forcing them to have to prove their permanent allegiance to a college. for example, offering a copy of their voter registration card as proof of ongoing citizenship to the locality. but this question is generally applied across the board. people in general, democrats included, they think that young people are the upset, the independent swing, the group that they can't always rely on. the disruptors. they are not on the voter rolls, they don't have necessarily the polling, they don't know who their list is for v

are you kidding me?riend of mine said the worst number of political parties you could have in a country is one, the second worst is two, and we can see the results where you have this polarization, the clash, and like eric said, you have to blindly follow this person because you are told to hate the other person. it is a catastrophe and we must change it. if we do not things will get worse and not better. thank you eric for seeing the vision, i appreciate it so much. host: plainview, new york. republican. good morning. caller: good morning. there are estimates that technology will displace maybe 30 or 40% of future workers. how would you address this problem, i do not think that ubi is the answer and there are many people who cannot be getting these higher level jobs. also, how would you address rising oil prices? thank you. guest: thank you for the question. i wrote a book on the topic of technology displacing american labor called "the war on normal people" and it was a book before this one. i am deepl

these are children who are dying.ad an interesting conversation recently who declared it he said imagine we have the program in st. louis come tell us and we will offer you this public service where we will fix the problem and you had all these families come to you. there are too many on the list. that's crazy because obviously there are families disproportionately living in impoverished neighborhoods and of course you want to deal with all of those families you wouldn't turn some of them away but that is what we are dealing with child protective services. we have too many black families on the list we are investigating into too many in foster care. we need to make the numbers come out a little bit more even. let's have a little bit less surveillance and not understanding this is a service we are providing. >> you talk about the law that was passed in the '90s to the termination of parental rights, but aren't you kind of describing the pendulum swings back and forth in the era we've got to act more swiftly. is there a

you are a pediatric expert. let's talk about the rising pediatric cases, hospitalizations of children are up 30% in just the past week. how concerned are you? >> i am concerned by the sheer number. it is reassuring to see evidence that these omicron cases appear to be more mild than what we have seen in the past. when we have 100,000 positive tests week after week you inevitably will have more hospitalizations, more really six children at risk or or it on to somebody else to is higher risk. the big concern is the unknown, and how this is going to affect those who are most vulnerable, children not vaccinated, the elderly, people who are not vaccinated in general and young kids. the last thing we went to see ardmore shutdowns, or lockdowns. it is an important that we get a grip on this and protect our kids. ama: we have a week left before kids go back to school. what is your advice to parents? >> no matter what i say parents are going to be concerned, because that is a parent's job. if your child is eligible for t

you are. if you are private on the front lines your version will be different than a general sitting on the horse way back on the hill. >> differences in how battles are fought over time. >> got to remember the time period. this is something we will mention several times today, you have to remember the time period. what year is it? we are in 76 that i am going to back it up a year for us because we need to create our army to get us going and all that sort of thing but 76, 75. nevertheless that is where we are. you need to remember what people wear, what people carry. how they use it. what your objectives are, what you can do. otherwise it is not going to happen. this is early modern era. we have more in common with those beautiful folks, early modern folks than anybody else, a lot of technology changes. we will stick to this. remember your time period, things are different, close combat, not a lot of range, that will be important too. the good thing about military history is it is becoming rea

we still are.st of capital is a 20% business for us, and these businesses r 1% to 2%, so it is a completely different equation, but the same intellect will playbook. lisa: talking about the demographics and how much money has gone into private credit, private assets in general, have you seen anything from your competitors that gets you nervous in terms of risk-taking with this locked up capital that gets you thinking this could end badly should there be some sort of bigger structural change? jim: i think march and april of 2020 was a great test for private credit and for private credit asset managers overall. i think collectively, obviously the fed came to our rescue or came to the market's rescue, but the fact is this is a robust asset class. it is our view that when the market thinks anywhere from a $7 trillion to $10 trillion opportunity, that is the pond. we are focused on the ocean in terms of fixed income replacement. in every environment in my 37 years, there's mistakes that are made, whethe

are important and they- evidence and they are there because they are important and they are - they aredy to stick to. just to add to that, we all- there for everybody to stick to. | just to add to that, we all know that people get very angry, including colleagues and friends, when they feel that it is unfair. the prime minister said that in the house of commons and has said it today. that is quite different from people, i think, today. that is quite different from people, ithink, wanting today. that is quite different from people, i think, wanting to actually know what is going on and then make decisions. i think those two need to be separated. the point about what we are trying to do is to say, here are the reasons, this is moving very fast, doubling every two or three days. it's too early for us to be confident about hospitalisations but we have seen how things have gone before and it is probably the way to bet and if we are pleasantly surprised no one would be happier than patrick and i and the prime minister would be. we know that. it looks like it would be able to evade vaccinatio

they are all so kind and good to me. well, they are to me! no, they are, really., we'll enjoy it. a year on, residents and staff are fully vaccinated and boosted but are worried about the new omicron variant. the threat of bringing it in here is like, yeah, it gives me quite a lot of anxiety. i don't mix with anybody outside of work. i meet one friend outside for a dog walk a couple times a week and that is it. but it's notjust covid. they have also had to deal with a staffing crisis. they are operating at half capacity — over 12 of their rooms are empty. despite a local recruitment drive, sandra has been unable to find staff. she has had to bring carers from abroad. i actually made the decision to remortgage my own home and buy a four bedroomed property so that i knew that when recruits came from abroad i would have somewhere for them to live. as this home counts down to christmas, in the midst of celebration, they have created this memorial pathway to remember the ten who died. but among the sadness, there is new hope that next year will be better. fiona lamdin,
