the so-called bush standing upright and she search air of comparative economics at the newsweek maximillian university in new nick good to have you with us. now i understand that you and your council colleagues expected germany to cope well with the pandemic. why is that? well, we actually have seen a strong recovery in the top quality of the year after this very beginning. so things look actually quiet or hit as long as the 2nd wave of the interaction can be contained. i mean, there is a fine, it's up to all of us, how we behave, and whether it will be possible to contain the 2nd wife. indeed, i mean, right now, the latest figures show just again out by the robert capa institute, that numbers are up again. so yes, we'll have to hope for the best and all do our bit to contain this pandemic. but compared to other major economies in the west, i mean, let's look at the united states. they've provided around 40 percent of last year's g.d.p. in coronavirus relief, britain around 25 percent of its g.d.p. . now germany is actually quite a generous with its support in the long run, how sustainable

. >> greg: ms "newsweek."ad "the new york times" or the local paper and if you ran out of toilet paper, there was zero toilet paper. but the key for me -- >> kennedy: "newsweek" is too smooth. >> greg: any way remind you that trump was right about the panic. he was like we can't keep having people panic, it is not good. and he tries to go with optimism. but i was like things that nobody likes. when i go to the supermarket, all of my stuff as they are. nobody is causing a run on gizzards, you can get the neck gizzards. >> kennedy: and vegan meets. and a bottle of pickled pimento. have at it. so jesse, a lot of stores have lifted the restrictions of one item per customer and now people are like free-for-all. i'm getting my toilet paper on. >> jesse: they are also buying self-help books off-the-shelf. and where the book was, the lord. no more. and i was going to say, trump was right, but he stole my note. a, b, c, d, e commentary. >> juan: i believe that. i believe that, greg. >> kennedy: i will go to one store a

right, to deliver for immigrant and latino communities across the country. >> great report from "newsweek" that comports with what i've been hearing from advocates while biden wants a chance at comprehensive immigration reform, that term, of course, makes activists very weary of past efforts of past failures. yeah, i mean, what do you do with that reality, right? how do you reframe this conversation so that you are no longer having it in the terms of immigration reform of the past, but rather a future looking and given that these last four years have brought all of this into focus, how do you make sure that people understand the undoing not as a ceiling, but as a floor? >> yeah, i mean, alicia, we have the opportunity to rewrite the rules, right? we can reject the frameworks of the past and start anew. and we have to keep in mind here that while the rhetoric might soften under the next administration, we will be looking for action. remember that the enforcement machinery that has grown exponential over t exponentially has happened under both democratic and republican administration. while

amy allison, you wrote in newsweek we called for a woman of color on the presidential ticket and we gotkamala harris. she the people listening sessions and poll made it clear a black woman vice president candidate would energize voters and she did. amy, tell me what happened. >> the pride and the enthusiasm that i feel that women of color that were the differencemakers in battleground states, it's incredible. you know, this is the coming out party for women of color across the land who saw in kamala harris and her leadership the possibility to build a multiracial democracy, build a government that serves us. when she spoke on the stage and she called us by name, we black women, latinas, white americans we showed up in droves. we saw her and she saw us. we can work together. it was an exciting moment last night and it just shows the power of this new political force of women of color and black women to set the tone and the direction of the country. >> adrian, i saw an interesting tweet from nate silver, the pollster, which he said, tweeted this yesterday, may be worth noting democrats ar

which, as "newsweek" points out, if they'll be able to turn rhetoric into reality when it comes to this. and then, there is this grim reality. the fallout of the family-separation policy is even more dire than we knew. lawyers now say they cannot find the parents of 666 migrant children, above the 500 first reported. with me now, jacob soboroff, he is author of "the new york times" best-seller "separated, inside an american tragedy." i do want to get you in on it. a federal judge in new york has just ruled acting dhs secretary chad wolf was unlawfully appointed and, therefore, invalidates his daca suspension. what does that mean for daca recipients? >> first off, let's just be clear. this judge agrees with the gao, as you just laid out, chad wolf is basically the illegal secretary of homeland security. he was appointed to this position because of an unlawful succession plan that was put into place by his predecessor, kevin mcaleenan. after supreme court upheld the program is no longer valid. let me just make sure i get it exactly right because this is just breaking news. karen tomlin sa

the cartoonist of the newsweek is comparing kissinger to superman. if you look hand, at the picture on the right, this is a picture from the political left. the antiwar movement, kissinger was a devil figure. when nixon and kissinger came into office in 1969, it was already clear that the americans had got to find a way out of the vietnam war. to the antiwar movement, it was absolutely disgraceful that four more years had gone by before the final american disengagement. because in every one of those years more americans were raids toore bombing place. tens of thousands of people had died. they were widening the scope of the war. that set of the cambodian genocide. one thing after another. all of which could be laid at kissinger's door. i certainly don't mean to imply he was a figure behind the nation to unify the country's. he was an extremely controversial one. a very significant one who played a big role in the reorientation of american foreign policy at that time. let's leave the pictures and move on to the next stage of today's class. which is th

the last time we may have sat together in this way was when were both working at "newsweek" may be in the company campaign or something. but as you know i am a big fan, big fan of yours. i was a huge fan of your first book on google, and now to come back at this particular moment and talk about "facebook: the inside story" couldn't be more timely. i'm just going to start off. we have lots of places to go with this but i'm going to start off with something timely. literally this morning as

that we just received positive news in this for the newsweek there's been progress made for success and rushes off a student text message gets across home to some semblance of hope to use. his followers it's clear that this vaccine even if approved will not be widely available for many months yet to come the economy will come back because people will start to feel normal again and challenge before us right now is still man's and growing hopefully we have someone in office who can help us get rid of the pulpit crisis and bring jobs back it's not like people are not working because they don't want to they are having a tough time going to work. also coming up after 4 years of donald trump's america for us president elect joe biden is promising america's european friends a foreign policy that puts partnerships and allies 1st and he is someone who has long and deeply valued our partnership with the united kingdom with the e.u. with nato and with other nations that share our core values so i think you'll see as. significant shift in terms of us foreign policy. but to our viewers watching on p

they do not get time or newsweek. they go for a confirmation of views they already have. trusted news source used to be walter concha right -- walter conkrite.ht -- host: what about the reliability of polls? one viewer, mickey from los writes onlyhts -- two organizations correctly predicted trump's victory. what is your opinion of those two polls methodology? and more broadly, the national polls were wrong last time. i know that usc poll. i do not know the other poll, but the usc poll was the most off poll in 2016. they had donald trump winning the popular vote by 5% or 6%, which is about as often as you could possibly get. the fact is, the average, the poll average, if you went on real clear politics on the morning of the election, you would have seen hillary clinton at 47% and donald trump at 44%. and when all the votes were counted, she went to 48% and he went to 46%. that is at. a two point spread. that is not very -- one point off is not very wrong. now, people conflated the popular vote with the electoral college and they just assumed that if somebody was going to w

in this case, you also see pictures from newsweek magazine.soviet photos that had leaked out of remains at one of the nazi concentration camps. victims shoes. even the architect of genocide, heinrich him learn, on the cover of time magazine in october of 1943. the article on the inside of this magazine reads that the gestapo of organized a program of extermination without parallel. we show then, so, multiple american magazines are covering the story. we do not have a name for the crime. winston churchill famously says in 1941, we are in the presence of a crime without a name. and we wanted to tell the story in the exhibition of this man who coins the word genocide, during the war. he defines genocide as the deliberate destruction of a nation or an ethnic group. and in 1944, on the same birther, 1944, the washington post runs an editorial simply titled genocide. which speaks about the atrocities going on at auschwitz, as purposeful killings. i think part of americans doubt, and part of their unwillingness to believe what's happening, as it's ha

newsweek magazine was appalled and he condemned the attacks on the protesters seemed more appropriate to saigon in south korea in war times than in washington, d.c. president nixon was unperturbed. a few days later, he told his aid -- this is a nixon quote that can be read. it says, one day, we will get them. we will get them on the ground where we want them. we will stick our heels in, step on them hard and twist. right? that is our president. somewhere between 1967 and 1971, the war we were fighting ceased to be a war between the united states and vietnam and became a vicious battle among americans. president nixon finally achieved a negotiated settlement in vietnam in january, 1973. you see how long this is dragging out. this is into his second term. american bombing ended, as did the draft. since then, we have had an all volunteer draft since 1973. in november, 1973, congress passed something called the war powers act. this spelled out the procedures to be followed when the introduction of american forces could lead to involvement in combat. this was passed over president nixon's

they do not get time or newsweek. they go for a confirmation of views they already have.source used to be walter concha right -- walter conkrite.ht -- host: what about the reliability of polls? one viewer, mickey from los writes onlyhts -- two organizations correctly predicted trump's victory. what is your opinion of those two polls methodology? and more broadly, the national polls were wrong last time. i know that usc poll. i do not know the other poll, but the usc poll was the most off poll in 2016. they had donald trump winning the popular vote by 5% or 6%, which is about as often as you could possibly get. the fact is, the average, the poll average, if you went on real clear politics on the morning of the election, you would have seen hillary clinton at 47% and donald trump at 44%. and when all the votes were counted, she went to 48% and he went to 46%. that is at. a two point spread. that is not very -- one point off is not very wrong. now, people conflated the popular vote with the electoral college and they just assumed that if somebody was going to win the popular
