parts of shanghai chiensen etc. once this news became known this is what happened if we take a look at this political cartoon, you can step around. if you take a look at this political cartoon you get an idea of what was to happen. here we see china shown as a sleeping dragon, of course a reference to a napoleon's comment that china was a sleeping giant and fighting over the carcass. we see the british lion the russian bear the american eagle the french rooster etc. they're all farting over the carcass to be more exact. it was quite common for people to march in and just take over a whole section of china and rule as if it were their own country. though most of you don't look old enough to drink. i must suspect that some of you are old enough to drink and therefore if you have been in a chinese restaurant, you know, there is a chinese beer. called singtow. beer comes to the green bottle. you may have seen it. have you ever wondered why beer is made in china? because in 1885 germany came in and took over the entire p

other states have lotteries, etc. i think that those are very innovative. they are not sufficient, but they are innovative approaches. we are working across the nation to make sure that there are tens of thousands of vaccination sites throughout the united states. 90% of people have a vaccination site within five miles of where they live. we are looking for people to get vaccinated at pharmacies, to get vaccinated at clinics, at doctor's offices, at hospitals. and we are asking schools now, to work with their local and state health departments to have school pop up vaccination clinics, at least one but many school pop-up vaccination clinics. so we want local and state health officials, as well as pharmacy program partners to work with school districts to host these clinics. so, we are working in different ways to try to make it more accessible for people to get their safe and effective vaccines. frances: you mentioned how public health officials are on the front line, perhaps as never before. there has been a legislative backlash across the country in many

we've all gone into massive dad, etc. so it is the time where you can say ok if i belief in women, i can put them at the top of the agenda and say for instance, tax credits, specifically for women, work in incentives, etc. so everything that we've sort of dealt with and say, this is what i would like to happen. this is the time because whatever each government decides to put at the top of the agenda, it could drive meaningful change. important countries like china and the united states have increased their presence in latin america, increasing investment 11 america. what do you think of that? our approach towards china has been edge. china is an economy, super power, super house that we can neglect, given the panama canal the we have. so we, while we have relatively young a diplomatic relation, given the panama canal, or economy that is dependent on commerce, will look to strengthen that, that, that type of cooperation and, and, and increase they to make sure that, that we are developing with commerce and in everything wh

to aid countries now around the world that the perspective of developing for democratic economies etcs particularly important but what have i learned? there are a number of key take aways that are clearly outlined in the book. first of all, by the time you're on a board, a complex organization, the board where i served was the company that has been around for 360 years. if you think about the historical context of these corporations they've gone through wars, pandemics, good times and bad but managed to stay afloat. that requires a lot of open-mindedness, good judgment in the face of complex issues in order to study the ship and do the job but also custodians of these important organizations so listening more than speaking is a key take away but appreciating by the time something appears on the board agenda is extremely difficult and to quote president obama if it were easy someone else would have solved it. more. and broad perspective not just in an ideological, there is one answer kind of way. >> it breaks down a couple of big issues, what boards are and how they operate, the big is

. -- and stability, etc. but that doesn't exist today. education is even more critical. danielle: how did this act help improve the affordability of higher education? >> well, first of all, it builds on the work that susan and i both did in 1998, when we passed the leap act. the state federal partnership to provide support for students, students with financial needs, particularly. it thrived for several years, then in 2010 with the budget debacle, we lost it. we are trying to reconstitute this in the act that would provide federal resources, which we match our local resources, two dollars of federal resources, one dollar of local resources, half the money would have to be committed to a need-based assistance for students. but the other half could be used for innovative approaches. for example, creating different schools together -- bringing difference close together. i think the big thing, too, it would require the states to put together a plan that would link their elementary education, their higher educatio

they feel threatened by the idea so they run down and try to eradicate all copies, etc., etc., but copies always survive. even more than that, the idea in the copies survive. so when something is depressed, again, even -- i mean, take it from your own life, when something is banned, you want to look at it. [laughter] when something is buried, you want to dig it up. often times those who are suppressing are keeping copies for themselves, and so repeatedly that when an expression is locked down, it squeaks its way through. most recently, you know, china has the most comprehensive internet scheme in the world. they do everything that they can with incredible, millions of people, lots of money to bar the news. the reporters without borders found a way to funnel thousands of forbidden news stories through the on-line game minecraft, recorded stories in songs and put it in spotify. it goes on, so the examples are [inaudible]. >> i'm glad you brought up china. that's china today, still struggling with how to keep dangerous ideas from their people. but -- >> good luck with that. >> yeah, right --

without transfer payments, personal income, including income, from interest, dividends, rental property, etc. but without stimulus payments, unemployment payments and other transfer payments from the government. and all of it adjusted for inflation was still below where it had been in february 2020, according to the bureau of economic analysis. this is a function of how many people are earning money and higher wages and higher income from rental properties, etc. but inflation is the insidious counter force adjusted for inflation. real personal income without transfer payments hasn't improved much. and a recent months, despite many more people getting back to work and despite higher wages, because inflation eat up the increase and aggregate income. and here, note the pre pandemic trend line max. this is green. this is real personal income. and as you see, a dove during the beginning, early stages of the pandemic, unlocked downs, and it's still below trends. right? so we're right again, as we were saying, shipping, all of our jobs factors to china was a bad idea. but the american people were o

the problem is america claims to be the home of democracy and equality etc. but there's some disturbing glitches here number one, of course, the american armed forces are segregated africans and europeans are not allowed to serve together and perhaps even more embarrassing the united states has an exclusion act based on race against one of the allies. there are portions proportions of china not rule by the empire of japan that were called free china much to say when there was a free france. so this is embarrassing to the united states who must go to the whole show of repealing the chinese exclusion act in 1943. so in 1943 for the first time chinese men who are here can apply for citizenship can marry american women who are citizens. and can begin the process of getting ready to own property. now again, this may sound like ancient history to you. but my father was here in 1943. as a chinese as a resident and discovered he could stay and he could marry. the following year he had a son i am that son. it is ancient history, but it's within living memory. now very

we can discuss the question of minority rights and what that means, etc. but ultimately majority democratic rule is the driving force behind democracy . if you have 25 people vote and 13 want one, option 12 want the other well, the 30 then well, that's simply the way it works. and, but the problem in america is we don't have that. we have a system of minority rule upon minority rule. neither side has the power and consequently everyone's going bonkers as a consequence. they're more and more frustrated. i said before, i brought up the image of a 2 scorpions in a bottle, and that's exactly what we're seeing. so, i mean, so america needs effective majority democratic rule and a can't get it. what you know, arthur, correct me. i'm in canada. got a new constitution and 1986 that correct? yeah. so i mean, and have canada fall apart. is canada to be on. the constitution holds almost no weight and canada, and not not the same kind of way, but catalyst though canada. that can is still a well functioning society. and fact it's orderly mess and democratic nature are

etc. so they get trapped into this cycle this expediency of trying new things and it all fails and and it's actually it's during the pause from july at the end of july until october with the notable exception of alum alpha. it gives them time to really draw all those lessons together and particularly with new equipment and the six-pound randy tank gun, and of course the american equipment the the sherman tanks that come in dragged unwillingly in some cases from there from american units, but that's what really enables them to learn the lessons of two years of desert warfare and come up with the ways of crunching the way. access defenses you know, we're getting closer to the the moment of the program where we throw it open to questions from the audience, which is always a never know what you're going to get asked and it's always a tense moment. we have we have some very well-informed very well informed listeners, but let me let me ask this question if you don't mind. i saw neil at the end y

they are dual nationals, they have extended families, etc.. there are others who are looking for the time. that is why we continue. i will take a few more questions. >> i wanted to ask you, you say that what america says matters. what do you say to the afghans who helped the troops, who might not be able to get out by august 31? pres. biden: i say we are going to continue to try to get you out. look, i know of no conflict, as a student of history, no conflict where when a war was ended, one side was able to guarantee that everyone that wanted to be extracted from that country would get out. think about it, folks. i know the american people get this in their gut. there are, i would argue, many -- millions of afghani citizens who are not taliban, who did not actively cooperate with us as sivs, who if given a chance would be on board a plane , tomorrow. it sounds ridiculous but the , vast majority of people and communities like that want to come to america given the choice. so, getting every single person out is -- can't be guaranteed because the

. -- isis, etc., fighting terror is completed, done. at least america and the intelligence apparatus and national security involved in this, they are convinced they can handle this. i stand squarely behind my decision, that is a quote from the president just now. you are right, major blame goes, even if he says the buck stops here, i am the president and i promised i would tell the truth, and the truth is this is my responsibility and it doesn't look pretty, but there is more blame -- he puts more blame on his afghan partners, the former ghani administration, and it is no secret it was not unified and corrupt. he blames the afghan national defense forces as unwilling to fight. capable but unwilling. that is supported by big military, we cannot buy the will to fight against a foe, that has to come from the people. he is in line with that. one more point, if you allow, it is really important here, and that is he says at the end it is the right decision for the american people, referring to that the majority of americans really want this t

voters would see that and that would replace feelings of bigotry and sexism etc.. what you are arguing in this book and really in your work and in that centerpiece, that's not actually correct. they enjoy the cruelty. the cruelty is not a byproduct, it's the point. obviously that kind of breaks existing political notions of how you address it. adam i wonder what we do if a portion portion of the electorate is not there for the social program and forgo the social program if it meant somebody else would be punished where cruelty is an ideal and a flag they unite around. what if someone who wishes to see a democracy that responds to a broad electorate supposed to do? how do you force the country together? >> thank you for that kind introduction. i think what i'm talking about since the founding of the country of the country where they say all are created equal and there are tremendous amount of people from the country with that ideal. it doesn't apply to women or men at the time. so to justify that you have to have a reason for why these last things that you say are t

we provide all the governmental organizations to support that, the medical process, etc.. we are not doing the security screening and support of state department. this is part of the application for special immigrant status. i hope that clarifies it. press sec. kirby: tony? reporter: do you have a breakdown by gender, roughly how may women, girls, boys, men have been processed by dod. are they in separate facilities? -- local kitchens -- gen. vanherck: we are seeing about 50% -- 50-50, male-female. we are seeing 15% of children. a lot of females were pregnant. i do not have a specific detail for what you asked about for the total number with children, male, female, we are seeing right now 513 children at one location for a total of about 30% of that location. regards to your second question, we contract to provide support, multiple males out -- multiple meals, breakfast is hello. -- halal. we will do the same for dinner. most locations will or do have a 24 hour grab and go, culturally come up for the afghans as well. i hope that enters your food question. reporter: laura.
