all these myths got so much currency in society that mediate was a huge proponents of these ideas in, nprch is paid by elvis the consul use the term latin x. nobody, there is not a coffee place in little have been in miami or in the bronx were anyone in their right mind would use the term latin expert it is rejected by the people on npr in the media complex pushes this term for even the term hispanic and latino themselves are not used by mexican americans and puerto rican americans or puerto ricans. stuart worded that term come from? >> guest: it comes from hispanic itself. see what the latin x version of it you're talking about. >> guest: that is a certain woke term. it's meant to correct the custodian adjectives and nouns are gender, so in spanish have latina and latino. the term latino i guess in the outer mind of some professor was to exclusive and only isolating males. that is a deep misunderstanding of how these spanish language works. i don't think mpr should be in the business of changing the language. which issues dictate inmate of academics that understand the language is a lot

thd tamara keith of npr. she also co-host "npr politics podcast." start with georg where lisa left off. so much about president trump's phone call. what does that senate runoff look like? both runoffs? amy: both sides feel like they are unclear what it will look like. democrats seem to feel better than they did in the normal general election in november, in the early vote within thent ab and people who showed up to vote early and in person. people are counting on -- a ayrong turnout on election which they were successful in and many of these states, like texas and florida. the turnout was unprecedented and in many ways unexpected. it is really important for republicans to have bi energy turnout. forra dem to be able to meet at least some of that on electionay rather than just hoping that their early vote is enough. and whether or not this call will impact anything, i am sort of skeptical about that, in part because as the voter pointed out , people have made up their minds a long time ago. what is happening in washingtona or the president is doing o

npr, for example which is paid by all of us, they constantly use the term latin acts. nobody, there is not a coffee place in little havana and miami, or bodega when the bronze, where anybody in their right mind would use the turned latin x. it is rejected by the people on whom mpr, and the media, push this term. even the turned hispanic and latino themselves are not used by cuban-americans and mexican americans and puerto rican americans. >> were that term come from my gonzalez? >> will the term comes from hispanic itself. >> know the latin x version of it that you're talking about. >> zero that is his super turn that is meant to correct the fact that this dillion adjectives nouns are gender. so you have latino spanish you have latina and the tino and the term latino guests and the adult minds and professor was to exclusive. to exclusive exclusive of and only isolating the meals. so that it is, a deep misunderstanding of how the spanish-language works. i don't think npr should be in the business of changing the language, the royal academy in madrid, which issues and di

that's all i'm trying to do. >> shannon: npr, one of the agencies, the outlets that you singled out,merica ceo accused of fraud, misuse of office following week. they detail lawsuits, accusations about you funneling money. they say that you have tried to quiet whistle-blower claims. they outline all kinds of allegations. are you saying that there is no merit to them? what is motivating them? how do you respond? >> there is no merit to them. every time i have tried to reform the agency, people declare themselves whistle-blowers. for example, one egregious example of bias that we found which was discussed in "the wall street journal" piece is a video. this was during the campaign that was essentially a repackaged, not targeted as the series. appealing to michigan muslims to flip the state for biden. when i tried to discipline some of the people responsible for what is clearly a violation of the charter, they declare themselves whistle-blowers. they sued in federal court. they resisted. i think there's a feeling that the network belongs to them. that the media belongs in the hands of th

npr and cbs asked the question differently in their poll, but the results were the same. only 12%, 12% of trump voters in that poll said they trust the results of the election. this is not a fringe point of view on the right. disbelief in the election results is the mainstream position of trump believers. so what is that? it's a breakdown in trust. a breakdown in social bonds. that's one of the story lines here. so many americans, especially republicans, said they have little or no faith in the media ond other u.s. institutions. shouting about reasons why they shouldn't trust anyone or anything. a breakdown in trust softened the ground for trump's election lies. that's what january 6th was, a lie yacht of lies. it was also an awakening about far right radicalization, extremism in america. rioters in d.c. said they believed trump's lies and some say they felt directed to the capitol by trump. so now the experts who didn't get enough air time or attention before january 6th are getting lots of calls now and talking about the riot as the beginning of something, not the end.

news," one the npr affiliates in atlanta and astead. these ads, are viewers sick of it? are they over it? do you turn on your tv at this point? >> i think that's an understatement, brian. the rest of the country has been able to move on, but day in and day out, no matter which program you are watching, you are inundated with ads. your mailbox is full. it's exhausting and some of the ads are kind of scary, to be quite honest. but it's overwhelming what we are seeing. it's constant. >> it really is. i am thinking, if you see these crazy nasty ads, you either freak out or you tune out. you are either panicked about the election, or you are numb to it and you don't carefully more. that's just me looking from afar. what are you hearing from voters in georgia? >> i think it's numb. i think they have completely gotten overwhelmed with ads. this did not just start during the runoffs for georgians. they were having this in the months in the lead-up to the general election. so as i have traveled around the country over the last year, you have these moments for a little bit. des mo

the managing editor of npr says we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really storiese just pure distractions. >> the reason hunter biden story was so crucial was because it goes to the heart of america's relationship with china. new york post columnist randa devine covered the hunter biden story from the beginning. by any journalistic standard its enormous news. you have, for the very first time, actual e-mails implicating the presidential candidate for the democratic party in an influence peddling scheme overseas that his family is running. there's evidence proof about something he's been denying for years so, at the very least it deserves some questions being asked. what did the new york post get for asking those questions question next thing we know, twitter has decided to block the distribution of the story and locked our account until we deleted the story and when we asked why they said well it goes against our hacking protocol and we pointed out that nothing about the story had anything to do with hacked materials and it wasn't just big tech blocking the hunter

not even as good as the factory jobs so the very common one, great reporting out of china recently by npr about that, it is a brutal job. they get find all the time for not delivering quickly to to what happens in the united states and this is the main job migrant workers are doing as they leave the factory jobs and that is a difficult source of employment. >> host: do you think there is any possibility there will be changes in the system? there are humanitarian reasons why it shouldn't be this but do you think they might be? >> guest: this is the time if there ever was one when the chinese government needs to reform the system and they know that. they have been talking at least for the last 7 years about the need to reform the system to bring more migrant people into the consumer economy and take this to a more domestic market-driven economy. the global trade frictions with the us, what has happened with covid-19, china is very aware it needs to rely on the spending power of its own people so they need to make that move. they've been talking about it for a long time. 2 days what they hav

there was a poll on npr. we asked peoplef trump was to blame.lame, 63%.result not much, 35%. en0% of republicans agreed the president is to blame. where do we go from here? there i talk of impeachment, serious talk in a couple days, invoking the 25th amendment. what should happen? jonathan: something should happen, the president should be held accountable. it dats notr he has 12 days left. he needs to be held accountable for what he incited on wednesday. if thatem meansing him from office, so be it. it does not look like that will happ. the vice president has made it clear he is not interested in that. you try to remove him by impeachment, but as jim clyburn said in the interview with you, the emphasis in the houses on impeachment. impeaching president trump for the second time in his first term i think is a hiliation and a negative branding of his administration that would be ll deserved precisely because of what he did to trash e u.s. capitol, trash our american democracy, and show he has neither reverence for nor the office of the presidency.

she will beat the house members in daily opening prayer, according to npr.he chaplain also provides counseling to house members, and arranges memory services for house members and staff. she was elected by a bipartisan committee of house members, whose recommendation was accepted by both democratic leader speaker pelosi and kevin mccarthy. many of you may know reverend pat conroy, who served in that role, a roman catholic priest, he served as chaplain since 2011 and he retired. let's go to the beginning of today's proceedings. we begin with the house prayer by methodist minister and congressman emanuel cleaver, followed by the senate chaplain reverend barry black. eternal god, we bow before your throne of grace as we leave behind the politically and socially challenging year of 2020. we gather now in this consequential chamber, to inaugurate another chapter in our roller coaster representative government. the members of this august body acknowledge your sacred supremacy, and therefore, confess that without your favor and forbearance, we enter this new year r

i have a story that will be posted soon on npr and georgia public broadcasting. the secretary of state was incredibly patient with the president but pushed back on some of the claims from social media telling the president that social media doesn't always tell the truth. and explaining that the data he is looking at is not correct. much of the call was the president at times angry. he lashed out against brian kemp saying that he was a smuk fchmur endorsing him in 2018. when he spoke and the general counsel spoke, they laid out the same facts over and over and over again. joe biden won georgia and there was no fraud. >> i have a couple more people to bring in. how did the president react when he just said look, joe biden won georgia. what was the reaction of the president? what was the tenor of that from him. >> he didn't really take it in stride. like i said earlier he suggested that republicans are angry in georgia. people in georgia are angry. if it comes down to it, and democrats could flip the senate and it could rest in the hands of brian kemp and rashensbur

was doing an interview with npr over the weekend and did not rule out the possibility that elected officials could be drawn into the investigation into the capitol siege last wednesday. that presumably would include the president since he's been accused of inciting that riot up on capitol hill. >> i also want to ask you about this ultimatium essentially that the speaker has given the vice president, that manu was just reporting out that he has 24 house, you know, to invoke the 25th amendment and if not the house rolls on on impeachment. do you have any reporting on just where the president's mindset is right now on that? >> reporter: yeah. brooke, we've been reporting since last weekend that the vice president has not taken off the table this possibility of invoking the 25th amendment. i will tell you talking to sources close to the vice president they are concerned that an attempt to invoke the 25th amendment might provoke the president, might cause him to take some other kind of rash action that would put the nation in jeopardy so they are very cautious. they will be somewhat cautious abou

shannon: npr, one of the agencies, outlets that you singled out have a piece called voice of america accused of fraud and they detail a number of things involving lawsuits, accusations about you filing money, that you tried to quiet whistleblower claims, they outline all kinds of allegations which are you saying there is no merit to them? what is motivating them? how the response? >> there is no merit to them. every time i tried to perform something with the agency people declare themselves whistleblowers for example one of the egregious examples of bias we have found in the wall street journal case is a video from the voice of america during the campaign, essentially repackaged biden add, it was not targeted -- to michigan, and appeal to michigan muslims. when i tried to discipline the people responsible for what is clearly a violation of the charter they declared themselves whistleblowers, they sued in federal court, they resisted because i think there's a feeling the network belongs to them, that the media belongs in the hands of the left and any attempts to present an old-fashion

he told npr if inoculations don't accelerate a new approach might be needed. >> if we don't catch upl goal was then we may need to make some changes in what we are doing. >> governor cuomo has been under pressure to expand distributional of the coronavirus vaccine and teachers and firefighters and those over the age of 35 will be eligible to register. health care workers in nursing home residents ringing that priority. >> we are rationing a scarce commodity that we don't control from the federal government. and by the way, the first person to say i need more is me. >> new york city mayor bill de blasio who has been at odds with governor cuomo tweeted out, we will begin administering shots to the elderly in phase 1b on monday. vaccine distribution inc. allowing excess and expiring doses to be distributive to a lower priority groups. a number of states including florida, iowa and new hampshire will use former sears department stores as vaccination centers. it's now but a week since the u.k. started using the astrazeneca company bid vaccine and unlike the other versions it doesn't have

and yet again, she was found on the radio by some talented slug sleuths at npr.hat they trained for, we still don't know. >> john, thank you so much. it's been fascinating speaking with you. we'll continue to talk. thanks so much. >> thank you. always a pleasure. >> experts, i should say, worried about the spread of extremism online, even though companies like facebook are tamping down, dangerous posts are still getting through. what to watch out for next. tha. it's a unique crafted blend of vitamins, zinc, other minerals, and herbs. take on your day with airborne. how about poor fred wilson? what a shame. so soon after retiring. i hear his wife needed help with the funeral expenses. that's ridiculous! -he had social security. -when my brother died, his wife received a check from social security, all right-- for $255! the funeral costs were well over $8,000. how on earth did she pay for it? fortunately, my brother bought additional life insurance -before he retired. -whew! i bet that cost a pretty penny, huh? not with colonial penn. coverage options start at just

. >> mckelway whose work i once edited was working for curtis lemay and npr throughout the whole war so he is a lynchpin for "the new yorker" operation. >> there's a lot of overlap like that. a handful of the correspondence and artists were in the armed forces and "the new yorker" ran a profile on military and sometimes the editors commissioned stories from military figures and sometimes in public relations to keep things cozy with the war department. for the most part they were serious. they were in the mix very much so. i always loved the description of the "unquote hunch man a correspondent in the field and he didn't know but he just knew there would be one. >> he believed in as writers. but why john hersey? hirsi was not born and bred as "the new yorker." he came from -- what made sean trust that hersey could get this story? >> hirsi was writing for "time" magazine and henry louis was the head of new yorker hated each other. they voluptuously hysterically hated each other. hirsi had been reporting for time in 1939 and loose was grooming him to be the heir apparent to the times in

. >> thank you, for the last question were going to go to scott it npr. >> thanks mr. chairman pretty send opening remarks the economy and many ways had proven more resilient than people expected. that reflected the adaptability of households and businesses. are there adaptations that caught you by surprise? maybe related to remote work or new ways to do on site work at the economy is proven tougher than the output? >> if you go back to the beginning there was a real concern, just take the financial markets, suddenly all those big buildings all over new york city and around the world where people work in the financial markets with terminals and everything everybody had to go home and take the terminals with them. i think there was a real concern there be a tremendous loss of functionality just at the time of the financial markets were under historically difficult conditions. and yet it worked out okay. i think many people in the financial sector are still working with her terminals at home. including people on the trading floors on virtual trading floors. some of that

anthony fauci appeared on npr with a warning that has become all too familiar that the worst is still yet to come. part of this is because the covid-19 vaccine rollout has stalled and the u.s. needs to catch up on vaccinations. the trump administration has shipped about 21 million doses of the vaccine, yet only 6 million people have received their first dose. president-elect biden plans to release all doses of the vaccine as soon as he is in office. he vows to get 100 million doses done in the first 100 days in office. a pulmonologist is joining me. ben, we're talking about the smallpox outbreak in new york city in 1947, and the degree to which there was an existing vaccine and they worked to stay ahead of it. with a rapid spreading infection, the only way to deal with it is either through vaccinations or preventative measures. we now have a mutation of this virus that is getting ahead of us again. >> good morning, ali, good to see you. you raise a really vital question here, which is how do we deal with this new strain from the united kingdom, potentially one coming from south africa

ohio, troubled by the relatively low numbers of nursing home staff, telling npr in december that halfthe nurses in a unit didn't want to get it and 55% of new york city fire department, firefighters, the firefighters association president reporting last month did not want to get the vaccine. what does this mean for the vaccination rollout, for the public's confidence in this vaccine? >> this is an enormously important problem. you heard claudia cowen talking about outbreaks going on in hospitals in la county and in los angeles where they're building tents, there's at least a 30 to 40% reluctance on the part of healthcare workers to take the vaccine. riverside county in california, it's 50%. i'm having trouble understanding this. i took the vaccine 10 days ago. i think it has something to do that it's a new vaccine, that healthcare workers are saying we haven't seen it before. maybe they should realize the vaccine, the technology for messenger rna has been around since the 1990s. we couldn't figure out how to get it in there without the body recognizing it. now we v it's been given to

she will beat the house members in daily opening prayer, according to npr. the chaplain also provides counseling to house members, arranges memory services for house members and staff. she was elected by a bipartisan committee of house members, whose recommendation was accepted by both democratic leader speaker pelosi and kevin mccarthy. reverendou may know pat conroy who start in that role, a roman catholic priest, he served as chaplain since 2011 and he retired. let's go to the beginning of today's proceedings. we begin with the house prayer by methodist minister emanuel cleaver, followed by the senate chaplain reverend barry black. >> we bow before you as we leave behind the politically and socially challenging year of 2020. we gathered out in this consequential chamber, to inaugurate another chapter in our roller coaster representative government. the members of this body acknowledge your sacred supremacy, and therefore, confess that without your favor and forbearance, we enter this new year relying dangerously on our own fallible nature. god, and a mome

that's amy walter of the cook political report and tamara keith of npr. good to see both of you. week. it has been only five days. i am already going to be asking both of you to size up what we see. you have the new president doing exactly what he said he was going to do. he's rolled out a big economic proposal to the congress and already, he's getting pushback. what do you make of this, of these first days? amy: it's a great point, judy. it's like, well, how much can we read into something that has only been going on for four or five days? what really seems to be coming to the fore is the question about how both sides, democrats, republicans, define some terms, terms like bipartisanship and unity and compromise and what th means to one group of legislators or voters and what that means to the other. for example, does something become bipartisan only if it passes with democratic and republican votes, or can bipartisan mean just reaching out to the other side? does unity mean, we have to agree all the time, or does unity mean we're just going to be more civil? that is where congre

. >>> i want to bring in lisa ram who hosts npr's morning edition in atlanta and she was also a panelist at the warnock/loeffler debate early in the campaign. so good to see you. >> thank you so much for having me today. >> let's talk about what is at stake because there is a lot, you know, and let's talk about the national focus, too, on these runoffs and how these candidates have run their campaigns and whether the fact that so much is contingent upon these senate runoff races, if that has kind of modified, shape the way in which these candidates are stumping across the state. >> well, while this has received nationwide attention, i think what the numbers are showing at this point, fredricka, is that georgians have a keane interest in this election. one, they recognize how important it is. two, they recognize that it can be life-changing when it comes to the issues and concerns eventually discussed in washington. and it also shows that they have a solid investment in who they want to send to washington. and it also shows us that they didn't get all the asides get in the way. what i mea
