guest: th finish the job, he hao lay out an agenda beyond what he proposed 3.5 years ago, and i hopeit includes regulating, not just negotiating, the price of a few drugs but all drugs. we are paying triple what much of the world is paying for pharmaceuticals, and we are passed legislation, so they get a fair risk when they do the research, but they cannot just price the drug at $1 million a year or $100,000 a year. no other country allows that, it is time to regulate prices, and i think that will be the biggest and he can do at the federal level to bring down inflation. host:host: one more from your financial services. the fcc yesterday approved a ruling that would require some what do you think of the rule and what do you think the reaction will be amongst large companies? guest: i think the companies willand money will like the fact that there is a standardized and accepted way to define their greenhouse gas effect. but this is long overdue. i am an old cpa. the goal is to report to shareholders and respective shareholders the information that they think is material to their inves

those people had to request that national guard and handed to hao ultimately be approved by them beforecould be deployed and that wouldn't have beenat just the national guard from dc but potentially from the u.s. from the entire country that could have been deployed and that is also revealed. the question i would have is do you think that they should havep to answer for this deliberate misinformation against the american people because my contention to you, to everyone about the dossier, the hunter biden laptop, everything that happened on ja 6.somebody joked there mightn investigation if democrats take control of the house there might be an investigation. there was a bipartisan committee in theco sense that to respected members of the republican party at that time liz cheney and adam kinsinger were participants. they were selected by nancy to withdraw the members from what they thought was going to be a highly politicized committee. but i think these things can be debated and relitigate it. so that's not my job, but the report is what it is. a select committee report. i would encourage

little one, you are the signs of an angel, to my bright destiny, to our soil , we wrote to kolo sabat hao b selud love, weight . good morning from today as march 8th which is named as international women's day in the world calendar, new york city will host the meeting of the women's status commission, which will continue for a few days, and the vice president for women and family affairs will participate in this meeting and give a speech on the following days. at the same time as the beginning of this meeting, in this part of the reporter's greeting , we will look at the commission of women and its legal positions, mrs. fatemeh mohebi, an expert in the field of women , is the guest of this part of the program. i will be very brief about march 8 please tell me the title of international women's day and the philosophy behind the creation of the inter-new international commission. yes, in general , women's day in western countries has been a protest by women, unlike what we see in iran or other countries now, where women's day is a day that honors women. in fact, the position of women is hon

i know because ioughand they hao with misinformation and fear mongering.s havly fought this legislation in committee which is why republicans did not have the courage to bring this to the floor in the light of da consider it through the normal process, the regular order. instead they crammed it into this must passr of a spending bill. they abandoned all their other so-called priorities because they wanted this so badly. they wanted to make sure that vulnerable veterans could access more firearms. this is wrong. lives are on the line. veterans lives are on the line. i will not agree to legislation that will cause more people's lives to be lost to gun violence. house democrats have been working to put people over politics, but it is clear that the republican majority is content to put politics including prioritizing politics over veterans lives. i ask unanimous consent that the statement of administration policy on h.r. 4366 and a statement from the giffords organization, wh both spe the harm of this provision be entered into the record, mr. speaker. the spe

spokesman stated that all of its interests and quote, they are all weird and one way ortalk about not haoost fascinating of ufology in the 1990s as he pioneered is really the scientific study of people who report abductions. and i spent a couple of chapters of the book looking at the ■3phenomena of alien abduction once■f and what what■ar really to understand and there are a couple of people in this world o■ sort of study this actually a very famous■h artist named bud hopkins, who's a writer in his own way, this, a couple of others. experi answers because he does not want to. prejudge one way or another what actualf1ly happened to these people and that alien abductions really. come to the fore. this in thereally peak in the 1y nineties and the the them really believed that something happens to these people and that they report report all of the si that would be consistent with opundergone act. you know, they up psychiatrically sort of very similar to abuse victims, you know, war veterans, you know, sort of other people who have variations of what we now call ptsd. and that they are have no

"ni hao, stephen. old navy capris are now 4 for 1.your undying loyalty to xi jinping. pledge, pledge, pledge!" and congress means business. the bill would force the chinese owners of tiktok to sell the platform or face being barred in the united states. they want all social media companies to have only american owners. like mark zuckerberg, elon musk, or abraham linkedin. well, here's the thing. the folks at tiktok is pissed. this week, tiktok sent push notifications urging its users to call their representatives. genius! what better way to dispel the idea that they are covertly influencing american politics than overtly influencing american politics. here's what the push notification said. "congress is planning a total ban of tiktok. speak up now, before your government strips 170 million of their constitutional right to free expression." well said, because this is what the founders intended. as james madison wrote in the ederalist papers, "the people must have freedom to throw cheese slices at their babies inside a magic rectangle w

hao, let me ask you as a technologist if you were to solve thissish issue in a way responsible for national security interests, for privacy interests, for the clear interests of small businesses, tiktok as a platform to help them make money, what would the responsible solution be from where you sit? >> right. so i think -- first of all, i think that a ban -- supposedly a ban would be a very extreme measure. forcing it to sell also seems a little extreme, in my opinion. i think it's important to impose regulations that could cause harm to the public. i think it is important, first of all -- i mean, it really depends on what problem we're trying to solve. if it's disinformation, if it's manipulation of elections, then i really think the right solution is to put campaigns and force these companies to put on extra information to warn people and educate people they need to fact check information. we need to control how people are receiving their information. the problem, i think, is if we target companies like tiktok, then there is a fair market competition. it could be affecting other social me

what do you think is the greatest piece of potentiale hao transform the fda and second, do you feel theartificial intelligence right now? >> there's a lot there. artificial intelligence coming through to us. we are handling that we have expertise. where people doing original research in the earth artificial and machine learning. we do think certainly as we continue to grow we probably do expertise and workforce around that and that something we will be looking out for there's a lot of opportunity one, creation of data. trying to think about whether it's clinically or pre-clinicallyec a lot of the deity we have redifferent formats ai one thing to makes it more assessable to everyone so we can fully leverage it. we have been using it to predict preclinical to be one of the alternative methods used ai -based approaches were utilized ai to leverage as far as reducing animalma testing or replacing in certain instances. job like one or the thousand models or something? >> yes 100,000 virtual rats. one study happened internally. and clinically as well there certainly o look to make sure not re

lives but on the backs of on the horrifically sad tragic facts of black women is something that we hao. they understood. why is it that minority women are so poorly cared for in this country? acrohe yeah. and can you say i want to say one other point. oh, yes. go ahead. i was going to say one other thing about that, which is that in order to truly care for everyone in our society fairly and appropriately, we diversity in our medical workforce. depending on which field you look at, it may only be as many as 3% or percent of black women in those and fire and have opportunity is for young women at every stage of their career to enter medicine. because i spoke about important of women being able to look at the parents themselves back. it's also really important that when women go to the doctor that they can have an experience with a physician that may look like them. they may have a background with them, they may have even better tv1qoutcomes as of that. now, that doesn't mean that we can't have different races taking care of each other. of course not. but it means that there needs to be a
