billionaires are jeff bezos alice rob and jim walton a poor of america john tyson steve schwarzman henry kravis and george roberts and steve feinberg of course none of this compares to jeff bezos according to business insider per hour basan was makes a whopping 8961000 dollars that's roughly $315.00 times and is 128466 dollars median annual worker pay and amazon workers earning the $15.00 minimum wage would need to work 24 hours a day for about 68 years just to earn what bayes almost makes it our. this level of inequality is it's unsustainable unfathomable unjustifiable unbelievable i thought all evil and while your mainstream corporate media that i mention this right time here and there the mention stuff people in line for food don't mention it but they'll never do it justice and they'll never do it loud enough having a little segment about food lines crammed which we 18 hours of biden transition coverage does not count as actually informing people if americans were truly informed we would all be behaving like collegial seaver right granted he's canadian but i'll forgive him for that he's a 28 year old c

a little was naught mox it's not liberals in the classical sense such as the you could lloyd george or henry asked and they're certainly not marxists is the b.l.m. wrapper what's it going to achieve and sense of achievement foreign cities we office it's i think they would i think they would be on the receiving end of the foreign cities not these who are neo liberals and it is abundantly clear that this cultural agenda move nights assayas make people in sense in states in america out spring that we have nothing in common where states california states such as. new york states such as michigan now i don't see any session in immediate future but nonetheless this foundation trow up extension secession feature be being laid as we speak now off because if joe biden does go on to issue the presidency sense of the white house entrancing $21.00 which is looking like he will now he is going serious high a b.l.m. cause events and that will be in my opinion better mansell to cultural unity in america and i think what we have seen here is another example of a major role of liberal democracies because ame

time talking to my predecessors, among them most of republicans, frankly, jim baker and henry kissinger and george schultz, and really thinking about what were the kinds of issues that need to be dealt with. by the way, i always love telling this story. jim baker invited me to come to texas. i say it was my first foreign trip as secretary of state. it was really important in order to show how two secretaries of state, former secretaries could work together but also the importance of the domestic issues for foreign policy in terms of our relationship with mexico, for instance, or a variety of trade issues. but at the part and really do believe this is about america is a country of diverse populations in a number of different ways. i found as an immigrant myself that there are various ethnic groups that do have an interest in what is happening in their former country. they are a natural base for understanding the domestic issues of foreign policy. they are also issues that very specifically as you travel around is to understand how the industry of a particular ad industry in a particular state reall

for instance, a guy named henry, a swiss born guy, served from johnson all the way to reagan and then there was a reagan chef and george w. bush had the same one and then walter came in with the clintons and served to the end of the first term of george w. bush. then an assistant chef who came in under the clinton administration got elevated to white house executive chef and she has been there ever since. she's executive chef right now. >> is there a food budget? >> yes. here is an interesting thing. before you get to truman, essentially our presidents had to pay for food out of their own pocket. truman eventually gets a budget , so if you order food on air force one, the presidential yacht, or the kitchen, they actually get billed against that account. it's not a free-for-all in terms of food. there is a budget that gets allocated by congress so that's another thing that goes into the food story. to give you more history than you wanted to know, the creation of the white house mess is a reflection of this because after the white house is renovated in the 1950's, there was more need for staff because of the installatio

george kennan defining the cold war and one of the main players into the job and here he truman was more involved than he suggested later. henry cabot lodge leader i think famous monster scientist and huge figure i could see on the cover of "time" magazine this cast of characters postwar entering with russia. >> they were one of the more famous and fascinating characters of the time. he was very intense and liked to carve pipes. to the people that he really admired, he would give a pipe. he was a tremendously powerful figure at mit and he was in charge of the atom bomb project also in charge of the biological warfare. because he was a deeply suspicious and unhappy about the russians, he decided what was important to do is wrap up the warfare program in the united states in order to triumph over the superiority of the russian army. and that was his solution to the cold war to make russian plants sick and russian people sick, and it was a really bad idea. >> was he ever explicit that we can't beat them on the ground and that we've got to have something else? >> it was repeated over and over by the secretaries of defense and all

george w. bush and a woman if you notice. >> dana: i didn't have children. just hut dog henry helped me take care of them. >> martha: why is there such a double -- would do these same individuals never say anything about all of the women that worked for the trump team? >> dana: it's a story that's told over and over again one thing that the biden team did and it's smart. they packaged it in a way that says we're going to announce this all at once. we are going to make it a big deal and aglowns if on a sunday night and that's what we talked about on monday. look, from a p.r. standpoint, are they strategic? are they good at executing a plan? absolutely. they are also not the first women to do all of these things. do you want some news if you are a woman and care about women empowerment i'm excited including the ones in the trump administration. jen psaki will be the fifth woman to be the white house press secretary. i feel like that glass ceiling has been firmly broken. >> martha: absolutely. i guess what my issue is -- with it is that i feel like these women are all very accomp

george pick up on that. there so much to say as we keep saying about richard holbrooke. his area was foreign-policy understanding the world was he another version of a henrysinger. how did he combine that they do that with getting things done in washington? >> there are some overlapping themes one is ambition and one is ten is holbrooke played a ton of tennis and he rose up through the hierarchy in saigon and then in washington to be so competitive. first it was tony lake who was his close friend and peer in foreign service in saigon and they remained friends ten years and the amish one - - friendship mysteriously disintegrated with consequences for them in us foreign policy later working to gather over bosnia under clinton then eventually got to bobby kennedy in washington. this is helpful book with over to be invited to the best dinner tables in georgetown. he was opposed generation of american statesman and he preferred george marshall and thought of them as the model. he wanted to be just like them. but the problem is he was a very different man not born to the lost aristocracy. he was jewish although he never talked about it that kept getting in his

in his command, like lafayette, henry lawrence, alexander hamilton, who were very much anti slavery and pushed washington to do more to speak out against slavery. george washington in the 17 eighties did write about slavery being a institution of great regret. eight institution that he thought should be ended by legislation. but of course, the movement to create a new constitution was going to create a new union. the union of some states which were now free states, which is something that didn't exist before the american revolution. the first emancipation movements in the country happened in the war for independence in those early constitutions in the walker case in 1782 in massachusetts, which freed out that slaves in massachusetts which would have never happened with american revolution. so you have a situation where a union was created, and it's a union built on compromise. we had some states built on, slavery some getting rid of it, gradually some that had no slaves, washington understood that the union would not have existed in that form in that movement -- moment if slavery didn't exist. so there were compromises that were made and the very begi

henry holler served from johnson all the way to reagan. there was a reagan chef, and they had the same chef. they served until the end of the first term of george w. bush . and then an assistant chef who came in under the clinton administration got elevated to white house executive chef and had been there ever since. she is the executive chef right now. >> what is the food budget? >> yes. interesting thing. before you get to truman, essentially, our presidents had to pay for food out of their own pocket. truman gets a budget. if you order food on air force one, the presidential yacht when we had a yacht, they get billed against that account. it's not a free-for-all. there is a budget that is allocated by congress. that is another thing that goes into the food story. to give you more history than you ever wanted to know, the creation of the white house is a reflection of this. after the white house is renovated in the 1950s, there was more need for staff because of the installation of air conditioning. truman was not going to get any more money to have more resident staff. he called them a do-nothing congress, and that kind of sticks. what he do

henry fortunato for inviting me here and setting up this wonderful venue. so yeah, it's very appropriate and the appropriate time and place as crosby said to talk about george kennonand his diaries. he was a midwesterner and very proud of being a midwesterner and very proud of being in milwaukee and very conscious of the fact that milwaukee was not california. it's also appropriate this place is very appropriate to talk about kennon because his most productive years in the government were as members of the truman administration and they grew up 40 miles from here in independence missouri. as i said, missouri i'm trying to win the audience here. and also in terms of play and appropriate to adam starr who has himself written and published the piece on george kennon, and i had lunch with adam today and learned quite a bit. that's very much appropriate. finally, in terms of play and i think it's appropriate for me to be talking about kennon today because you'll be listening to the john quincy adams tomorrow and kennon was a very strong admirer of john quincy adams and kennon's quite famous television, he was on j. william fullbright's hearings and kennon was on

henry morganthal than fdr. fannie mae was created in 1938 to help the george bailey's of the world depicted in the movie as wonderfulided affordable financing, long-term financing for the american home owner since that period of time and they -- the largest loan for fannie mae is $510,000 and most are half of that. some are paying that for cars right now. it's been funded since late 30's and the depression and secretary mnuchin has an opportunity to put the stamp on the next generation of home ownership and having the economies appropriately capital and finance for the future. maria: yeah, we will keep following this, we will see if they do get out of government ownership, 80% anyway. this is an important subject and i know that our audience wants answers on the fannie and freddie money that was taken pretty much. let me get your take on overall home ownership, sales down in november, new home sales for the first time in 6 months, demand seems high amid pandemic certainly out of big cities but supplies are historically low, what is your reaction to the trend and what are you expecting on the home market here as we w
