and once to do what bismarck did. bismarck took pressure from one state among many in europe in the space of about ten years to a war with denmark austria and france radical change that you political map of europe. in some ways we still live with it. that's what china is best strategy would be. best military strategy if you're thinking i would take down these vulnerable part of the coalition is fed a complete. which is again the don't want to start a huge war. they want a small focused war and then we and the rest of our partners and l is this a good side where going to limit it. i grant the version of what the russians did incarnate. it's possible we and others might decide to live with that. so there's more than just facebook post it sounds like. >> that's right. >> in your book you talk a lot about allies and really like the discussion because there's a lot more granular than we normally get about the norm the argument allies are someone pulls out a winston churchill come very handy i forget which it about allies m

connell mcshane in bismarck. joe concha, i was in north dakota recently because j.p.ng that jamie dimon told me about as well, this can do entrepreneurialism in north dakota, jp morgan wants to be there to bank all of that business. and remember, something that we say on the show all of the time, money is mobile. small business will go where the money is treated best. joe: right, technology allows people to work anywhere, any time, maybe that wasn't the case, you had to go to a big office in new york in los angeles or chicago and now we are seeing mass exodus out of california, new york, democratic run states because of high taxes, rise in crime, people are saying adios and you look at north dakota's unemployment rate 3.6%, compare that california, they are at 7.5%. nearly doubled that so, yeah, why not move to north dakota? i have a feeling you get a bang for your buck than you could say in jersey where i live. maria: that's a great point on unemployment, ryan. ryan: yeah, it is. also just mentioned that national phenomena if you look at last year during the pandemic

you know it's bismarck's adage, you should watch josh be made, wow you give it some time and he'll come up with something. i'm fairly confident of. that but he represents a different constituency, comes from a different place, that a lot of people in the democratic caucus. and it's not gonna do any good protecting him or anything like that. and i think president biden indicated at that talked him, that he's open to negotiating maybe a will end up with 1.8 of three. these things have a way of resolving themselves at some point. but it takes time. it takes time. it really does. >> james, any criticism from the left? >> well, just understand 50, understand the concept of 50. you've get everyone the concept of a four vote majority. i don't want to be criticizing everybody, because one day everybody is going to go to sleep, and they're gonna be progressive, moderate, and it -- and i think that's gonna happen. and everybody's gonna go there and say, what can i do to advance this. because i'm telling you, we are getting ready to have an explosive economic recovery here. the covid numbers are s

only two germans have held the office for longer, helmut kohl and audio ban bismarck. likely be led by someone outside merkel's party, a center right christian democrat suffered the worst performance in its history. so what counts for the electoral shift? part of it, of course, is merkel overshadowed all others on her side. in addition the successor within her own party made several missteps. but perhaps more significant, merkel had moved her party away from its conservative roots, partly by joining forces with the center left for three or four terms. that left an opening for a man named olaf scholz to portray himself as merkel's heir apparent. after all, he is merkel's vice chancellor and finance minister. but he wasn't from her party. in the end 1.5 million voters abandoned merkel's right party for scholz's center left one. but international dominance was also at play. exit polls showed voters this year were more concerned with economic issues and climate. this may account for the success of two smaller parties, the environmental green party and pro-business free dem

you were saying earlier alluding to, china doesn't want to start a huge world war ii but do what bismarck. france radically changed the geopolitical map and in some ways we still live with it. that's what china best strategy would be. best military strategy in that context, if you're thinking how do we take down the vulnerable parts of the coalition. they don't want to start a huge war and small focused war where they create set of facts on the ground and we and rest of partners and allies decide we will live with. a grander version of what the russians did in crimea and the problem is it's a good strategy and it's possible that we and others might decide to live with it. >> more than facebook posts. >> that's right. >> in your book you talk a lot about allies and i really like that discussion because there was a lot more granular and you only get about -- normally the argument for allies, winston churchill quote which are handy. i forget what he said about allies. the more allies you have the better, end of discussion. you, however, a more nuanced approach talking about especially in the

otto van bismarck, in the 18 70's, i believe it was, said politics is the art of the possible. mr. cohen: it's still true. the build back better bill will be the part of the possible. it will be good for america. it will create job, it will help the middle class deal with the burdens and blessings of children, child care and child tax credits and education. it will be a very significant bill passed by this congress to help the middle class and to help those people who haven't been helped in the past as the trump tax cuts helped the wealthy. so i look forward to voting for it. thank the people who are creating it and making this possible. politics is the art of the possible. thank you and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition? >> thank you, madam speaker. i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my rashes. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, the american taxpayers are expected to wr

. >> well, there's long been a saying that bismarck supposedly said a special providence protects schools states of america. that saying seems to be really being tested right now. it's interesting you wrote this. i was walking down the street a couple days ago. it hit me for the first time. i was looking around and i thought for the first time in my life, i'm looking around and thinking the majority of these people that i'm around, and a region that i won't mention, get all their news from facebook. the facts that are on the ground in all of our communities and across our country, across the world about medicine, about science, information they get from their own doctor, information they would get if they read the election results on fox news websites. wall street journal websites. just doesn't matter to them. they don't see it. they live in their own bubble of misinformation and are driven by conspiracy theories. and it was an isolating fact. a frightening fact. i feel sorry for them, because they're the ones who are putting their lives and family's lives in danger. >> yeah. no, that is
