, because the cato institute gave a medium-term prolonged forecast, so the conclusions for the west were. first of all, energy. well, all the other sanctions against russia have destroyed the balance. the functioning of the western system, the effects of the first year were dampened by the favorable circumstances of a warm winter. until there are a number of points further , the forecast is sharply negative, primarily for the entire economy of europe and, following it , the united states, because they will not be able to separate. they are strongly connected, as if the americans, well, don’t tear it all up, if we add to this, the actual internal american problems from politics to finance so you understand uh what time they have in order to set fire to. another at least regional conflict, well, with the clear intention of translating both regional conflicts. global. they have less and less time to do this, and they will be in a hurry with this, so these processes will be accelerated consciously by those people in the united states who make decisions. here's a biden on his collar, like it

folks have seen you over the years on this program and this network with the cato institute for many years. you made the move over to the foundation for research on equal opportunity. what prompted that move? guest:guest: what prompted it is the unique focus that the foundation has, which is lower income americans and how we can best utilize individual liberty and free markets to empower people at the lower end of the income scale and find ways we can create more equity in america. host: we started this program asking our viewers on progress inequality in the 60 years since that march on washington. what is your view, focusing on the economic aspect of that? guest: we have made progress but nowhere near enough. african-americans still suffer from the downstream effects of slavery and jim crow. you have higher black unemployment, more black property -- black poverty. we still have a long way to go, if we want to create true equality in this country. host: we had a color earlier during that segment that said march -- caller earlier during that segment that said the march was all about

cato institute and others say whether it is executive order or in this case through department of educationudent loan forgiveness, this was unconstitutional. the biden administration acted quickly. >> todd: carley and i were bummed by this "the blind side" story. what can you tell us? >> cheryl: drama with the tuohy's and michael oher. he is saying that the conservativeship he signed, he says he was not aware what he was signing, he was over 18 at the time. seems they are arguing over money and the money made from the film. sean tuohy jr., i guess technically his brother, talked to barstool sports about the back and forth. >> if he said he learned that in february, that is hard to believe. i went back to look at family group text to see what was said and things back in 2021, if you give me this much, i won't go public with things. i don't know if that is true. >> cheryl: responding to petition filed by michael oher who is saying he was never tech technically adopted, they forced him into the conservativeship. michael was advised because he was over 18, legal action would have to be called c

monday and ascentis, i just see to look at bri, i la calderon is a research associate at the cato institute. she joins us now from ecuador. thank you very much for being on this news. our now as we heard the run that story, that the ever since here was an outspoken critic of corruption and politics. do you think that is why he was targeted and who exactly did he pose a threat to thank you very much for this invitation. i will be very set and c o is a very well known whistleblower here in our country over the past i would say 15 years or so, particularly during the career ministrations and he was the main journalist, but i got together in the case that i ended up condemning, in a sense you provided for that. but other than that, he's as of late, he's been denouncing links between certain politicians and the organized crime mafia is present in the country. and so he had received us. your reporting already said he had received several threats, and so he was a, i believe, a target, particularly for these organized crime mafias. does this just go to prove that? does that organized crime groups a

it's out this month from the cato institute. and i appreciate all of you being with us. thank you, kent lassman. and we'll be back. more programs, including book forums at cia dot org.

i became the president and ceo, the cato institution, the world's leading libertarian tank, and i would like to thank calvin coolidge for the ideas that underlie individual rights free markets and limited government. thank you all. john, one question before we move on. should coolidge permit interstate banking? i don't it was permitted in his time. it was permitted in his time. i think that would have been a great idea. i don't think the was ragged he would run into mass of political because you had thousands of small banks and they all had political power so i don't think it could have been done but yeah it would have been great if he'd just allowed some something to happen on narcotic banking and it ended up with a healthier economy basically doing it right. yeah, that was about the only thing he missed when he comes back. work on that one. thank you. thank you very much, john. we have lot of jobs up here, dr. cochrane, next year and goodbye, doctor. that's so pretentious, so my job is to talk about the economy of the 1920s. i'm an economist by the way, i'm 1920s work the single conse

today's -- let's just call them libertarians -- the republican right, the libertarian right, the cato institute right loves to appropriate douglas because he was a staunch proponent of self-reliance, of blacks raising themselves either own institutions and their own hired work, their own thrift and so on. but every black leader in the 19th century to speak of was a proponent of self-reliance. that is not unusual. but sometimes the way this gets portrayed today in political discussion, the way douglas gets appropriated now, it drives me a bit crazy because, to do that you have to ignore his entire life as a radical abolitionist. it's good news because douglas has become a little bit like abraham lincoln. everyone wants to have him on their side. everyone wants to claim douglas, he's on our site, no, he's on our side, i get asked this all the time, what would douglas think of black lives matter, what would he think of the #metoo movement, what would douglas think of donald trump praising him? i thought that might not come up tonight. he'd say -- now, i won't go there. eddie: before we go to quest

by the same token there is bias on the other side and they read the latest report from the cato institute or the latest report from the heritage foundation and what they have a willingness to read the federalist society and what they are publishing. there's this immediate question that is just so tough because it goes to a willingness to only listen to things that you canin agree with. i want to turn because we don't have a lotot of time. i want to go to your discussion aboutcr meritocracy and this his close to home because i used to tell people when i was in the senate i just want to -- harvard or yell or stanford and it's my own situation at the university of chicago university of chicago. go to law school there. certainly had an affiliation with the university of chicago. i want to ask you this question. it's maybe bigger than your book but why do you think it is that society values in an economics degree from harvard and a higher level than an economic degree from the university of utah if i had the answer to this question i've been making a lot more money. there is a dependency. i'm

of the oil and gas industry, and new foundations that were born like the federalist society, cato institute, and heritage foundation, whose goal it was to undo rachel carsonism. >> it makes the wonder what you discovered about how the american public viewed the government's role in addressing global warming. whether our protection of the role the government should play changed? david: it did not which i find reassuring. it is a story that is all irony. i always left it to doug. how odd that republicans are seeing this way. what a terrible ministry they would be seen as working with the also fuel industry and help continue to make profits. [laughter] it is mystifying. the game has been to make us change our minds like what doug was saying. was it was clear as the people demand that we get environmental regulations so even, then governor reagan, who have such a room effect. hope i am not -- offending anybody who that report. in 1967 or 1968, he said if you have seen one redwood, you have seen them all. but then, we had a motherhood issue, the idea being, who is against motherhood? as governor

another way going about things and that is an approach that for example, my my friends at the cato institute who really focused on issues of qualified immunity, they prefer that approach personal liability insurance for officers to carry. it's also an idea that has been proposed elsewhere. in fact, in minneapolis, this in, i believe, 2016, there was a a a provision that was introduced. but later voted not to get on the ballot because it conflicted with union the union contract. but that proposal would have officers to have individual liability insurance. and if i recall correctly the way that the plan would was that the city would pay the base insurance level for all of the officers but if an officer there was viewed as risky the insurer whether because they had a number of use of force events or they been sued numerous times and their insurance premiums rose, the officer would be responsible for those increases premiums above the base level. and i think that's a fascinating idea as. well, i'm i if if if we could experiment with that more across the country. i think that that would be a real

the case is decided the suit was filed on behalf of mackinac center for public policy and the cato institute. some new video to show you from juneau, alaska. that's a home falling into a river. people there evacuating after 2 days of record flooding with water levels rising more than 3. over the weekend. thankfully there are reports of no injuries right now. officials are blaming the flooding on the rapid melting of the glacier nearby. pretty background now. but that terrible to see a pretty picture here from our camera on top of montana's. we talk about our forecast. interesting kind of colors of the sky kz out there today. kyle is here now with a look at the forecast as we're still dealing with extreme heat in texas right there are some pockets of extreme heat across the country, but that haze that you see in the air is because we have a little flip in air quality today because we do have wildfires to the north and the south of us. >> thankfully was to get better is getting in the next couple of days. but yeah, i want to start with a look at the national temperatures right now won 11 in ph

hosted by the cato institute, this runs about an hour and 20 minutes. -- and 20 minutes. show less text 00:00:30 justin logan justin logan good afternoon everyone. my name is justin logan, i am the director of defense and foreign policy studies at cato. it is my pleasure to welcome you, in this form, an uncommonly formal august afternoon in washington, to our forum on proposals for using u.s. military at the border to counter fentanyl. you will hear a lot of reasons this afternoon why proposals for using the u.s. military in and around mexico to counter fentanyl is a bad idea. it is important to state at the outset that there is an underlying crisis happening in the u.s.. overdose deaths and precise data are hard to come by. as we can tell, somewhere on the order of 60 and 80,000 americans per year, last year in 2022, are dying of fentanyl related overdoses. provisional data from the cdc suggested there were more than 70,000 fentanyl overdose deaths in the country last year. so, there is a real underlying crisis happening in the u.s., that helps to explain why politicians

with the reader part of the cato institute, the latest from the heritage foundation?ould they have a willingness to read with the federal society is publishing? this immediate question is so tough. i go to a willingness to only listen to things that you can agree with. i want to -- we do not have a lot of time is gone so fast. i want to turn to your discussion about meritocracy. this has particular close to home. i used to telll people when i ws in the senate not harvard or yale or stanford the elite law schools. of my own institution. i did not go to law school there i send didn't have affiliation with university of chicago. and so i want to ask you this question. why do you think it is that society values an economics degree from harvard at a higher level than an economics degree from the university of north dakota? >> oh wow. i had the answer to that question i would be a different business making a lot of money.. [laughter]in there is a path dependency, right? i am not a historian of university but at some point in time harvard produced graduates who ended up for

a lawyer representing the cato institute says they will appeal to the u.s.and unlawful. congress said you have to make a certain number of monthly payments to receive loan forgiveness. the department is counting knob payments as payments. anybody should know that is not a lawful definition of what a monthly payment means. >> so president biden trying to piecemeal together a student loan forgiveness now that the u.s. supreme court rejected the overall $440 billion plan. >> i have a ph.d. in english. i had loans. i paid them back. i think anyway we can help young people to get more education, it's for the country. it's not just them. >> i don't believe in the president's forgiveness program. it makes the cost of college is completely out of whack for the return on it. so enable further access to that overinflated system in my opinion is not the right approach. >> so mixed reaction on the street of new york. president joe biden says taxpayer money should go to forgive loans for some. neil? >> neil: thanks, edward lawrence at the white house. when we come back,

the other side, what they read, the latest from the cato institute, what they read, the latest report from the heritage foundation, what they have a have a willingness to read what the federalist society is publishing. and so i think i think there's just this this media question is just so tough because it goes to kind of a willingness to only listen to things that you can read and in a lot. well i wanted and when it comes i want to try and get because we don't have a lot of time it's gone so fast know i volunteered to to your discussion about meritocracy and this hit particularly close to home because i used to tell people i just want to you know when i was in the senate i just want to vote for a judge, a graduated from the university of north lakota, not harvard or yale, you know, stanford or, you know, the elite law schools, universities, they're all my own institution. and they're the university of chicago. i didn't go to law school there, but i certainly have an affiliation with university of chicago and and so i want to ask you kind of this question it's a maybe bigger than your
