over time, this enabled them to get a really good handle on how weather travelled over the continental united statesalso with underwater cables, we could get a handle on what was happening in the caribbean before the weather made its way to the continental united states. so this helped a bit with hurricane forecasting, not as much as it did with normal day-to-day weather forecasting which is extremely important forage cultural interests. but the problem is that the telegraph wires ended at the end of land or if there was an underground cable, they could go to islands, but you essentially were still blind as to what was happening over the broad atlantic or anywhere that was far away from the coast. so the telegraph helped a bit, but it wasn't cataclysmic in terms of forecasting hurricanes. susan: while we're staying with the history of technology, we talked history of technology, we talked earlier about the hurricane hunter airplanes, i have a video of a recent news story about how they work today. let's watch that and then learn a little bit about their history. >> they are a crew of men and women g

united states of america being energy-independent. we take great pride in being a part of that. kern county at one point in time was the largest oil and gas producing county in the continentalted states, so, the industry itself, that is who we are. that is the legacy of this portion of san joaquin valley. man: arvin making a bit of history today, becoming one of the smallest cities to make their own local regulatis for the oil and gas industry. woman: oil and gas has kept kern county moving for decades. now arvin residents are fed up and those in the industry feel unwelcomed. wednesday night, arvin city council unanimously voted in favor of restrictions on the oil and gas industry. those in support applauded. [cheering and applause] man: yeah, so, it's a monumentous thing that we did. we passed the oil and gas ordinance, and hopefully other cities with that type of industry will follow, so, we're gonna be talking today with some neighbors on nelson courtand then tomorrow i'm nna have a nversatn with e mayor o taft about our two cities. see if we can find any common ground. my name is jose gurrola and i am the mayor of the city of arvin. we can't deny the fact that living an

part of the territory there, with the blowup of plymouth on the right, as compared to the continental united states? why is it we spend so much attention on these tiny colonies? i think it's important. this is one reason why we use alan taylor's american colonies as our textbook. correct with aly lot of explanatory power in situating colonial history rather than just east coast parameter. i think it is important that, even if we are talking about the history of relations of peoples pursue the freedom to practice religion as they wish, much like the history of colonial america is not just an east coast one, but a continental one. we should remember the history of people in america struggling to practice their religious freedom is not just an english or european one. i will take us back to the u.s. capitol, this time to statuary hall, and talk about the man on the right, who is one of the few colonial figures celebrated in statuary hall in the u.s. capitol. that is the figure of a pueblo indian. he is shown holding some knotted ropes. those are integral to the story i will tell you about why he is ce

i showed you this part of the territory there on the right as compared to the continental united statesdo we spend so much attention on these colonies? i think it's important. this is one reason why we use alan taylor's american colonies as a textbook in this course. taylor is rightly, correctly, and with a lot of explanatory power, trying to situate american history in a continental rather than just east coast parameter. i think it's important that even if we are talking about the history of religious freedom, of peoples desire to pursue the freedom to practice religion as they wish, that much like the history of colonial america is not just an east coast one but a continental one. we should also remember the history of people in america struggling to practice their religious freedom. to put this in context, i am going to take us back and stay with the puritans by going back to the u.s. capital. we will talk about the man on the right who is one of the few colonial figures celebrated with us that you in the u.s. capital, a pueblo indian man. he is shown holding some knotted ropes there

that is compared to the continental united states there. why is it that we spend so much attention on this tiny element? i think it's important, this is one reason why we use alan taylor's american colonies as our textbook of sorts during this course. because he's correctly, and i believe with a lot of explanatory power, he tries to situate american colonial history in the continental rather than just the east coast parameter. i think it's important that, even if we're talking about the history of religious freedom of peoples, people's desire to pursue the freedom to practice religion as they wish, that much like the history of colonial america, it's not just an east coast one but a continental one. we should also remember that the history of people in america struggling to practice their religious freedom is not just in english or european one. and to put this in context, i'm going to take us back, i'm going to stay with the puritans, but i'm going to take us back to the u.s. capital, this time to statutory hall, and talk about the man on

state of governance? >> thank you. the way i talk about it is going back to the often overlooked continental empire those on those lands ruling over tibet and we in the unitedtates about strategic narcissism and look at maritime threat and maritime name nation sitting in central asia very much looking at china as a continental power the term near a broad and you're right to do so because there is a paramilitary force operating in those areas. so the first strategy when it came to turning from the soviet union was to with the ethnicities so relationships with those groups are unforgivable with the terms of concerns and with those cultural demands with those play in concentration camps with the use of biometrics? and the suppression of religious rights and the shaping of beards of muslim men and one thing that has been disappointing with a strategy has to look at china from a continental and maritime perspective turning that into a weakness to multiply sinus problems that is a hugely complicated issue but you also have to look at it from the human rights situation with an empire that believes the high nation is the only really nation by putting down all relig

but there is a bigger context of continental energy security. we both know the united statesgreat price to maintain energy security in the past. and i think it is much to the u.s.'s advantage to have a safe, reliable, environmentally responsible source of energy rather than having to depend more on opec dictatorship energy. secondly, if this energy does not move by pipe it will move by rail and even president obama's state department concluded it would increase carbon emissions so we think this is good both for national security, jobs, and the environment. >> how are albertans doing these days job wise? there have been a lot of big hits to canned's economy with covid-19. alberta is usually home to the calgary stampede and that got curtailed this past year hopefully not the year to come. >> well, we've been through some challenges here no doubt about it and in the last year the global covid recession, the impact of the pandemic, and a collapse of energy prices started last spring. with td russia/opec war on energy hit us hard. this is the entrepreneurial heart of the canadian

and the united states are doing well. continental europe is a little bit behind.hat we think is by the end of q1, we will have vaccinated the population that we consider the most at risk, meaning the people over 65 and health care workers, and once you manage to vaccinate these populations, then the need for intensive care units or people getting hospitalized because of covid goes down a lot because up until now, this is mainly those populations that have been hospitalized, so from then, we can go back to a more normal life and that is what makes us optimistic. with your optimism, how much support are you assuming continues to come from central banks? we have heard warning from some fed officials that we should expect to see higher yields and bond markets, but we hear other voices on the fed saying just because we have got a democratic leadership doesn't mean the fed is going to step back. how much generosity from the fed are you still anticipating and what does that do to yields? a lotne: we are expecting of generosity from the central banks. i think the fed has

we assigned a french intellectual to travel the united states to produce a series of essays that aimed to be a new european account seen through continental eyes i don't think i violate any terms of employment at the atlantic but the result is somewhat disappointing on the take of the early 2000's will stand the test of time. but i am more hopeful for what history has begun even the places i disagree with it looking at the condition of the united states what appears to be the end of the trump there are now and also in the age of the coronavirus which broke up on a small this book was in transition from the european to american publication with the chapter that explains reasonably well that everything has happened in the last year and since i have my own book come out in the midst of the coronavirus i admire what you have done there with the same interpretation. so i want to start off with the title itself history has begun which is a call out to the famous work the end of history which may be stands at the era for the period of us and world history starting at the end of the cold war. it has begun that something new is happening in enteri

continental regiment also known as the marblehead or glover's marblehead regiment. marblehead is a small town 10 miles north of boston. when the american revolution started it was the 10th largest force in the united statesn the east coast. actsse of the intolerable of the british enactment that led up to the american revolution, most of the men in marblehead were unemployed and unhappy. they were happy to join the marblehead regiment. glover initially signed up 150 men. they did not expect to find themselves all the way down in pennsylvania. colonel glover and marblehead saved george washington three thes, the first after disastrous battle of long island. took -- from brooklyn into modern lower manhattan into saved washington's army from being encircled by the british. again that tells point when cornwallis was planning -- tells point when cornwallis was planning to trap washington in manhattan. 700 mennce again with held off for thousand british -- 4000 british and hessian troops. that gave washington time to escape from manhattan and fight another day. sectionforward to this of pennsylvania around the 22nd of december, glover marches into this area and he camps up the washington's headquarters are. --

continental army. he's the one who won the revolutionary war and the independence for the united states.nd he's presiding over the constitutional convention. and he was chosen in part because he was very straight-laced sober-minded individual. you make him president, the presiding officer, that gives him an excuse not to. but some of the members of the convention, governor morris, he lived in new york and pennsylvania. he was a delegate to the convention from pennsylvania. and he was very much a hail fellow well met type. and he walked on a wooden leg. and the story that was sometimes told about him, he liked to tell the story that, he had lost his leg in the revolutionary war. it was a battle injury. the other story that was told about him is that he badly injured himself diving out of the bedroom window of one of his lovers just at the moment that her husband was returning home. and it was badly set and the leg had to be amputated. governor morris was one who wanted this convention to be, well, not quite as somber as it seemed to be. so he made a bet with some of his friends there, inc

have heard of bernard ornery to travel to the united states and make a essay of a new tocqueville, new european account of america's seen through continental eyes and i don't thick violate any terms of my former employment at the atlantic when i say the result was some disappointing. i don't think anything about the take on america in the early 2000s will stand the test of time. but i'm more hopeful for what history has begun authors. i think it is even in the places where i end up disagreeing with i, it's a very insightful and interesting look at the condition over the united states at what happens to be the end of the trump era now and also in the age of the coronavirus which sort of broke upon us while this book was sort of in transition i guess from the european publication to the american publication, but includes an updated chapter that explains reasonably well why everything that has happen in america in the last year fits the office, and since i have my own book come out in the midst of the coronavirus and i'm working on my own version of that chapter i admire what you have done there, brew bruno and i inspire the same kind of inte

united states. as of today, non-u.s. travelers from south africa, brazil, ireland, the uk, and most of continental europe are not allowed to enter. president biden's action reverses president trump's order made during his final days in office. >>> president biden also upping the goal of vaccinating 100 million americans in 100 days by 50%. he hopes to get 150 million people vaccinated by the spring. a tall order with just over three million americans getting both doses so far. right now states are out of the vaccine. >> i think with the grace of god and a goodwill of the neighbor and the creek not rising as the saying goes, i think we'll get that to 150 -- 1.5 million a day rather than 1 million a day. we have to meet that goal of a million a day. >> to reach that goal, the government is setting up more vaccination sites and hiring more people to administer the vaccine. he's asking congress for more than $400 billion to fund the effort. finding money to help struggling americans, meantime, to help businesses bounce back, that could take weeks. the white house and senate are negotiating. republicans argue biden's nearly

continental empire. so it's still sitting on those lands conquered, still rolling over parts of mongolia, rolling over xinjiang, rolling over tibet, we and the united states about strategic narcissism, we look at china as a maritime threat, as a time nation. we look basically at that one coast that it has. its attempts to get out into the pacific ocean from the indian ocean, the south china sea to create a maritime force that is able to do that. but if you are sitting in central asia to a certain extent in russia, india, you're very much looking at china as a continental power. the term near abroad again and directed to so because a lot of both paramilitary force as well as pla force, the top rating in those areas. when it comes to near abroad, the first strategy and the first desire of china when it came to turning to central asia after the soviet union fell was to put down what they viewed as the quote weaker threat, , weaker activism, uighur awakening relationships, turkish and ethnicity some relationships with turkey in turkey groups. unfortunately, very unfortunate, unforgivably this was a turn from concerns with uighur activism and cultural demands

continental drift. the circulation of the ocean has a factor on the planet's temperature. all these things are all facts. the united states lowered his carbon footprint for the last 20 plus years but the problem is, if we inhibit our ability to produce things here in this country, americans are not going to stop buying their junk. it will go to china. you make it more difficult to produce goods and services over here in the united states, that money will go to china. they will continue to pollute because china and india are the two biggest polluters in the world. host: mr. taylor? guest: thank you for pointing this fax out. you make some good points about how we have to consider the context of the earth i'm history. the little ice age which lasted from a possibly 1300 to 1900, that was the coldest period in the past 10,000 years. when people say nine out of the 10 hottest years of the decade, they are comparing the record. on record. that applies to the past hundred years, which is convenient for them. it's a good thing we are not still in the coldest we have been intended years. for most of human civilization temperature

and more of our precious land has been preserved in the continental united states than at any time in years. america has been a force for peace and prosperity in every corner of the globe. i am very grateful to be able to turn over the reins of leadership to a new president with america in such a strong position to meet the challenges of the future. tonight, i want to leave you with 3 thoughts about our future. first, america must maintain our record of fiscal responsibility. through our last 4 budgets we have turned record deficits to record surpluses, and we have been able to pay down $600 billion of our national debt, on track to be debt-free by the end of the decade for the first time since 1835. staying on that course will bring lower interest rates, greater prosperity, and the opportunity to meet our big challenges. if we choose wisely, we can pay down the debt, deal with the retirement of the baby boomers, invest more in our future, and provide tax relief. second, because the world is more connected every day, in every way, america's security and prosperity require us to contin
