capitalism. it's socialism in sheep's clothing, an economic system based on collectivist ideology. that is a that empowers a small group of financial leads to impose us policies that are consisting of with their political and social beliefs. all in the name of protecting us because they don't trust us to make for ourselves, our nation or our planet. it's a rejection of both free market capitalism and democracy, both of which empower that is us to those decisions for ourselves. and i'm not exaggerating here. you've probably wondering why many businesses have been taking positions and altering their business practices in a way that they may not make sense from a business perspective, you may support what they ideologically or politically, or you may oppose what they do ideologically, politically. but why would what companies like disney, which has a family audience, anheuser-busch, which has, you know, a beer drinking audience or target, be promoting for example, a transgender agenda. why would exxon and chevron, you know, oil companies adopt net zero carbon emission policies when th

economics the u.s. looked relatively strong. the social capital declines have been happening a lot of the economic trends looked much better when you measure things accurately. i think the report in some sense underplays the strengths of the american economy in terms of equality. those stories may be more perspective on economic side than the report on the u.s. we need to pay attention to social capital declines. we don't like to because we don't know what to do about them. we think we know what to do if the economy is bad but we have no idea what to do if we think these social trends are down. that's the real challenge we are looking forward. >> thanks. and we reach our fifth panel. cairo skinner, who's a campbell research fellow at the hoover institution. international relations and politics at the pepper dine school. the coauthor of two books on ronald reagan and both sold very well. she has served remarkably as director of policy planning at the united states department of state and the first trump administration. i believe that's a position t

economics the u.s. looks relatively strong at the same time that we look relatively weak on all of these social indicators. at the same time, social capital declines have been happening, a lot of the economic trends look much better when you measure things accurately. i think the report in some ways under plays the strength of the american economy in terms of poverty and inequality, work. i think the story may actually be more positive on the economic side than the report suggests. we really need to pay attention to these social capital signs. we don't like to because we don't know what to do about them. we think we know what to do if the economy is bad but we have no idea what to do if these social trends are down. that is the real challenge moving forward. bill: thanks. and we reach as our fifth panelist, carmen skinner -- kiron skinner, the research fellow at the hoover institution, stanford university, professor of international relations and politics at pepperdine university school of public policy. she is an expert in national security and public leadership. the co-author of two books on ronald reagan, both of which sold very well.

the cause of the economic crisis in the united states is capitalism. and what is happening within capitalism. protesters are calling on all working people to band together and fight back. a federal judge has temporarily blocked elon musk and his new department from accessing u.s. treasury files. doge. short for department of government efficiency, gained access to sensitive and confidential information this week. like social security numbers. the legal move comes after 19 state attorneys general sued the government yesterday. they allege musk and his staffers are violating federal privacy laws. the order from the judge blocks the government from granting employees who do not work in the treasury to access its information. it also says anyone who obtained access to the treasury data must immediately destroy any copies. now, california attorney general rob bonta was part of the coalition that sued the federal government. in a statement, he said he is pleased the court moved so quickly, writing, quote, the president does not hold the power to give america

each taxpayer dollar entrusted to the sba should have an economic multiplier effect, delivering capital to grow manufacturing, strengthen rural communities, create jobs, and develop critical technologies like ai and chips. i believe we must continue to empower entrepreneurs from all walks of life including women and veterans. above all, the sba's founding mission needs urgent restoration . empowering small businesses and growing our economy. that's exactly what the america first agenda does by ending inflation, cutting taxes, slashing regulation, and training in waste, fraud, and abuse in government. in the last four years, small businesses have lost ground, affected by inflation and uncertainty that threatens the very existence of main street. president trump's agenda will restore small business economy, marking a return to made in america with a golden era of prosperity and growth. at sba, that means meeting today's dynamic challenges alongside america's entrepreneurs, not by sitting in washington or working from home. we will honor their tribes by doing ours. small businesses are the

only had virginia, the self-proclaimed of presidents, become the capital of a power hostile to united states, but it had been economically and physically destroyed. jamestown island, though it saw no actual combat. was first the sight of a confederate fort dubbed fort pocahontas in 1861. in fact, we know now what they did. that fort pocahontas was, situated precisely on the footprint of the 1607 james fort. many of the same strategic advantages that made it a desirable location in the early 17th century continued to influence 19th century military reminds. so we have here a map potentially created by a spy. and there is a facsimile here as well. the original is currently conserved, but we'll be back. we're very excited to have it. you can see the extent of the confederate earthworks and encampment and is very much not to scale as a depiction of jamestown island, but it shows a lot of really cool stuff that our archeologists are now able to investigate with a little bit more exactness. so are very likely bits and pieces of james fort spread across the south in the attics of old homes taken as souvenirs by soldiers who ful

now, what this program did was bolster women's economic empowerment across the globe with things like ending food insecurity and providing capital to women entrepreneurs looking to start small businesses, among other issues. but it was a very big priority for ivanka trump and sources that we spoke to, who worked very closely with ivanka, as well as direct beneficiaries of some of these programs, talk about how it was really a key success, reaching millions of people spent about $300 million over the course of the last five years. now, one of those farmers from georgia who was a direct beneficiary of the program, told cnn. when i saw president trump was elected again, i thought he was going to bring more support for women's economic empowerment because he loved this program. now, the program was rebranded under the biden administration and by all accounts, continued to thrive during that time. but its work was all halted just last week, and its future is incredibly uncertain. but all of this really underscores an effort by president trump to really shift federal spending, slash it dramatically. but sources we have talked to reall

gdp, it did things aimed at boosting women's economic empowerment abroad, things like closing the digital divide, ending food insecurity and providing capital to women entrepreneurs looking to start small businesses. but we talked to numerous people who worked closely with ivanka trump at usaid, as well as people who were direct beneficiaries of that program, including one farmer from the country of georgia. she was at that signing ceremony in the oval office back in 2019, and she told cnn just this week, when i saw president trump was elected again, i thought it was going to bring more support for women's economic empowerment because he loved this program. now, the program was rebranded under the biden administration and by all accounts, continued to thrive until just last week, when it was subject to a stop order halting all of its operations. now, i think all of this underscores a dramatic transformation for president trump on foreign aid. he ran and won back in november on slashing federal spending. he is doing just that. but sources that we spoke to really raised dramatic concerns about the status of these programs and their soft power
