it's my honor, again, to have a conversation with professor nye. we were together here in april of 2019. it seems like a lifetime ago. she is one of the world's foremost authorities on immigration history and migration. back then we had a conversation about her book "impossible subjects." professor ngai has written another book, "the chinese question and global politics." "the chinese question" has received rave reviews from the "new york times" and the "wall street journal." there was a write-up in the new yorker. it took the professor ngai ten years to write the book. there is a nice line in the author's note at the beginning of the book. my research was not unlike panning for gold, part hard work and part luck would slowly yield the nuggets of insight and comprehension. indeed, i spent the last week reading the book. there certainly are many nuggets in there, and including intimate stories about the individual. you illustrated your broader observations and conclusions with tales about the participants, the gold miners, others. and my grandfather

ver veronica nye is an economist with the american farm bureau federation. thing that comes to our mind is covid is to blame. is that accurate? >> it's certainly a contributing factor. when we look at all of the supply chain challenges we've seen as folks are coming back out of you know, lockdown and starting to spend money in a very serious way, that's increased demand. made the supply chains challenged. also made it really difficult for farmers to plan and predict how many turkeys the united states might need for this thanksgiving. you also add in things like inflation and increasing consumption of meat in the u.s. and worldwide and you add those up and it's really hard to point to any one thing. certainly, the underlying factor for most of those elements is the global pandemic. >> well, and you mentioned the farmers inability to predict what will be needed. is there a shortage on turkeys? >> well, actually, the data shows we're only down about 4% on production in 2021 compared today 2020. we see a lot of fluctuation in the retail price that consumers are

nye dad raised us to be patriotic americans.e says there's no reason for you not to say you recalculated. in the book you write the president was asking me to do something that was wrong. you mean he was asking you to break the law, right, asking you to commit a crime. >> there's nothing to recalculate. if you look at the numbers, the numbers are the numbers. you can slice that, dice that any way you want. at the end of the day, president trump came up 11,800 votes short. 28,000 georgians did not vote for anyone for the united states of america. they didn't vote for biden, trump or the libertarian. senator david purdue got 27% more votes. that tells the big story of why president trump did not scary the state of georgia. >> the fulton county district has been investigating whether the president did break any laws in that phone call to you. have you -- i know you turned over documents and various things. have you been swer viewed by investigators? you hadn't the last time we talked. have you since? >> no, i haven't been -- she ha

nye has that authority, correct? general nakasone: that's correct, mr. ranking member. mr. nunes: mr. nye had asked acting secretary of defense miller to direct you to appoint ellis and after receiving that direction from miller, you finally appointed him as general counsel. then just five days later on president biden's inauguration day, you placed lieutenant commander ellis on administrative leave. the i.g. found one of your justifications for placing ellis on administrative leave was to wait for the results of the inspector general investigation of his selection process was improper. do you accept the i.g.'s finding? general nakasone: i certainly accept the i.g.'s findings. we need to talk what the i.g. findings stated. the fact that mr. ellis had two significant security allegations -- mr. nunes: glad you're getting there. we'll get to that. we're coming to that, if you can let me get through my questions and i'll give you a chance, an opportunity to discuss that. the i.g. also found there was no improper political influence by the trump white house towards ellis' appoi

stuart: next up, bill nye, the science guy, teaming up with the white house.e infrastructure bill. so bill nye, very popular, he has 11 million followers on social media, he is going to be taping a special with president biden to highlight that this spending is good for the environment but, they have to convince people that it is actually good for them individually. and as families and they might have to do so before the midterms, because if you look at the infrastructure spending and build back better, a lot of that is not shovel ready. it is going to be ready after the midterms. so if you want the voter get on board as you sell your plan, you got to speak to them about when this is going to happen before they go to vote. stuart: got that. all right, lauren, now this. democrat congressman adam schiff confronted for his role in promoting the now discredited steele dossier, he was confronted on "the view." watch this. >> the president -- >> information yourself for years by promoting this. >> well, i completely disagree with your premise. stuart: i'm sure he do
