prior to cope with it. we saw a record low on employment rates for blacks and hispanics. we saw record low poverty rates for blacks in hispanics and more importantly. we saw a black wages rising at a faster rate than white rages during this period during that three years stretch prior to covid. i mean you also have to remember how bad blacks had an economically for the majority of obama's presidency, you know black unemployment did not fall below double digits. until the seventh year of the obama presence. i mean that blacks had it very bad economically under president obama. they supported him overwhelmingly. he was well liked among blacks personality what and among whites and still is he's still pulls very well in terms of popularity but his economic policies his stewardship of the economy did not go over well with blacks or whites. and and so i think blacks remember how bad things were and under trump when they saw their fatter paychecks when they saw how plentiful the job market was. i think they they gave trump credit for that and that's part of the reason i believe

and so one question i had is are the priors and values are there priors and values not captured there. there was a let of over lap and cohesion. but may be there are new things that need to be added. um -- also i love the investment plan. it stood out to me that set asides are a way the spending recommendationings prioritized equity. and wondered, you know where are there other opportunity to prioritize equity and he more in the spending plan. other ideas about how to do that. and i don't mean instead of i mean in addition to. will needs shine through with talk with people with expert ease of homelessness. there is in the one solution this works for everybody. at the same time, as i was think burglar how can the committee has been highlight the connection with people who need and funds the investments and draw that out so it is clear. and then the last question and gwen they are to get discussion gchlth am but what question do you have for community stake holders? had does the committee need to know for take old holders during the budget cycle to inform the budget recommendations? and

prior to the launch of— be found out. prior to the launch of webb _ be found out.h of webb and for quite some time we have a pretty good idea of how the universe came into being, the physical conditions in the early universe, and the kind of timeline processes under which the first stars and galaxies formed. so we have an idea of you know, at a particular age of the universe galaxies will look like this at the very early ages. so what is new results, what the scientists are finding with these latest observations is that these galaxies just look a lot older and more mature. they performed and more mature. they performed a lot more stars, they have accumulated a lot more material than we would expect at such an early age of the universe, like so quickly after the big bang. and if that's confirmed that it does kind of challenge some of our basic assumptions about the physics of the early universe, which potentially is an extremely impactful finding. but as i said, i think we need more confirmation on these measurements and i'm sure we are going to be getting that body

3% moiment rate was very low 3.5%, so, prior to covid many argue the phillips curve was dead and goneth, now all of a sudden we see the phillips curve trying to come back we get unfavorable trade-off between, wage growth, and the unemployment rate. perhaps we can go back, to what had become normal prior to covid. >> that is absolutely right i think that is going to be, the big debate at this meeting, probably the next couple meetings going to have some people might be willing to argue look, if wages peaked, and if wages are now the rate of growth is slowing, that means we do not have conditions for a wage price spiral we do not have to be quite as concern as weakening the labor market to get inflation down there will be other people making exactly the argument you are making 3 1/2% unemployment rate a risk this friday a really good payroll number if you continue to add 250,000 jobs a month, it seems unlikely that you are going to have the unemployment rate falling 3 1/2% it could go lower, you know all macroeconomic models say that is not consistent with getting inflation down i think

administrations i talked to prior administrations who knew nothing about it.nk? >> there are intelligence gathering too late to act on it. i think that was the case during the trump administration. my goodness we sell the entire country followed this from montana across the coast. >> neil: you knew the administration and antony blinken's visit to china once a soul became public which raised an issue with the administration known about this days earlier they would have canceled? >> i do think it raises a question about how much situational awareness we have in the skies. this is something that should have been relatively easy to identify. individuals that first spotted it at least based on what we know. i will say i'm going to a classified briefing later this week to get to the bottom of that and probably will not be shared. we have a lot of serious questions we have to get an answer of this week. >> neil: on the present state of the union address, he will talk about the decision how it was handled but more importantly the economy. how things are zooming along

unfortunately, it is a measure that had to be taken prior to the prior to the earthquake. and we know that, you know, this regulation has been in place following the 1999 elections. but you know, that transformation hasn't taken place with many areas that are prone to earthquakes, particularly. you know, it's stumble, for example, is one of those cities that is on the fault lines and a major earthquake is being expected. a transformation has as big again, but it's not complete yet. and with the same goes with many areas that are earthquake, run across the whole country. we've already seen a number of countries, pledge, assistance and health, including the united states. what does to kia need and the initial days and weeks after the earthquake vice president watch or i was speaking earlier, he said that when it comes to transportation and some of the other needs to get very sufficient. but medical medical assistance as well as rescue and search and rescue teams are some of the, you know, help the tricky will need. again, as i said earlier, the scope is very large. so having

prior to their periods of time, prior to the nominating conventions, the candidates need to raise money for their own, for everything, staff resources, offices, computers, cell phones. after the nominating convention, the government pays for office space, computers, staff security, security clearances, etc. they don't pay. they don't pay for staff. after the election, when the candidate president elect then all the transition officials actually go on the federal. so this is one of the things that congress could do. congress it's in our public interest to incentivize candidates to put as much and many towards transition planning as possible. and so if congress were to appropriate money for candidates to, allocate and hire staff prior to post-convention prior to the election that would be positive as well because that would create an incentives for more planning. more planning would be good and it's just the money. there's also like gsa gives them offices and computer ers and cell phones and tech help. so there's like a whole sort of apparatus. yeah, go ahead, sir. hi. thank you very much

we don't have a lot of details about those prior incidents. i think the nora commander said this is a real vulnerability in error detection capabilities. it's hard to understand when you hear people talk about a 200 foot high balloon with -- carrying a payload at a slow speed, the size of some kind of regional airliner that our command in charge of protecting north american airspace wasn't able to see these prior incidents in real time, apparently. can you talk about how that could possibly occur? most americans would be absolutely stunned and shocked him in the amount of money we spend on her military and our intelligence capabilities. guest: it's important to remember that while the character of war hasn't changed, its nasty and it's ugly but the nature of war continues to change. what we see here is it's changing. just like people are now reading about uabs for drones and the damage they are doing in the ukraine. this is a niche area that warfare is evolving. it's not necessarily balloon warfare but it's a domain, in airspace region that fr

fifth, the twitter files reference prior investigations of me. it is to the department of justice investigated certain aspects of my conduct while i was employed by the fbi. related to the handling of certain information. because i believe in accountability for government officials, i cooperate with the department, including sitting for lengthy interviews. eventually the department closed the matter. no adverse action was taken with respect to be tom emmer security clinches while a governor point were never restricted because of inadequate in closing, mr. chairman, alike returned briefly to the general topic of government interaction and social media companies. the law permits the government to have complex multifaceted and long-term relationships with the private sector. law enforcement agencies and companies can engage with each other regarding, for example, compulsory legal process served on companies, criminal activity that company, the government of the public identified such as crimes against children, cybersecurity threats and terrorism, a

in prior, cases the cot s pointed to economic and potil significance. but it's also reew a litany of additional factors that have demonstrated at based on comm sse understandings of how core is likely to lead to state, the agency is claiming extravagant regulatory authority that it doesn't actually have. i, think if the court were to just look at cost alone, to take the major questions doctrine outside of at extraordinary case. because naon policies these days frequently involve more substantial costs or trick or political controversy. big, here we think there's any number of additional factors that demonstrateth does not fit the major qutis paradigm. first thing i would point to that this is t assertion of regulatory authority at all. this is the administration o the benefits program. quit in priocas has recognized tt using common sens interpretations of understanding how ngss would legislate, congress might pause before emweng the executive to engage in extravagant regulation thhe corresponding cost to individual liberty tests. but in the conte o a be

regardless of whether they even had their infection prior. or they face civil monetary penalty, denial of ■payment fo new patients or even termination of their entire medicare or medicaid provider agreement. health care workers have been forced to choose between violating their own personally health beliefs and their health care decisions informed by their doctor's medical advice or potentially lose their job and livelihood, be forced to move from their communities, and struggle to pay their bills during record high inflation. this mandate did not build trust in the vaccine, it only further eroded trust, americans' trust in our public health officials and institutions. the c.d.c. acknowledged that vaccines do not prevent transmission of the covid-19 virus, which reenforces that this is an authoritarian mandate. this is not about science. in washington state, the washington hospital association estimates that 2% of the work force has been lost because of the this health care vaccine mandate. that may not sound like a lot but when we have unpre

you'll see that two weeks or three weeks prior to this, i ran out of gas. when bus and paul paul weren't home. and rogan is the person i called to bring me gas. >> rogan would have helped you. >> we'll keep playing this. >> blood. did you see anything else that didn't go over? that wasn't part of it. >> no, sir. >> how about maggie? >> no, sir. >> you didn't see anything? >> i went to my mom. my dad is in the hospital. my mom gets anxious when she does. i within the to check on them and maggie. maggie is a dog lover. she fools with the dogs. i knew she had gone to the kennel. i was at the house. >> you just testified that in the wake of this, you didn't know what you said the law enforcement, that was what you just said? >> i know a lot of what i said to law enforcement, but there's a lot of things in looking back at this video, for one, the 911 call, for one, i mean, there's a the lot of things that i didn't remember. >> okay. but right then ask there, just not long into this interview, you made a conscious decision to lie right there. >> play that again?

did you have any knowledge of that prior to going down there? >> i'm not sure. as i sit here today i don't recall that but i don't -- i don't think so. >> when you first arrived in the golf cart where did you pull up to? >> i pulled up right where maggie was. >> which is where? >> she was standing in the spot where she could see in between the chicken coop and the storage room of the kennels. where the dogs were back up in the planted pines behind the kennels to the left of the chicken coop. >> and what did you do after that? >> i went back to the house. >> no, you pulled up, get out of the golf cart. >> when i pulled up i stayed on the golf cart. >> how long did you stay on the golf cart? >> however long i was down there. i got off to take the chicken from bubba? >> how long were you down there before you took the chicken from bubba? >> a very short time. >> like what? >> a couple minutes? >> what were you doing during the couple minutes before you got over there to deal with bubba. >> talking to mags. >> what did you talk about? >> i do know maggie was very co

there was a price jump of 36 percent in comparison to the year a prior. so very strong booking, so with the air b and b and to what is also happening. and i guess it, but a lot of our view chris will a see that to a city travel is a back in a big way. and that is also helping companies like air b and b, but also tripadvisor, for example, came out with their earnings. so also they're a very strong a showing. so a bids in travel in general, definitely as a back and at b and b as one of the companies that profiting from that ryan's court it in new york. thank you. or some chinese phones gathering too much personal information. researchers in edinburgh found several handsets doing just that. the report this month found a pre installed apps on phones. from 3 chinese companies asked for a large number of access permissions to phone features such as the camera. they were also sending larger than normal amounts of personal data to their makers. even if the sim card was removed is what their port set. it said, combined this information poses serious risks of user

yes, actually, prior to the study, we looked at the andre asked the distributions that are available in europe. and we see the extent of formation leakage or collection in the chinese flood where it is probably 3 to 4 times more extensive than what we've seen in europe. and so what, you know, what 3rd party packages are granted permissions, and some of these are dangerous, but missions and button ties defined by google. so, you know, there are things to do with camera and so on, which an order will require user consent. terms of dangerous permissions, we see approximately twice as many day us. but we should be in the, in the chinese woodward as compared to the, the flood rate available in europe. so $3.00 to $4.00 times the kind of privacy making that we would see in your more dangerous permissions. a lot of us going to chinese telecom companies. what does your study mean for users of chinese phones? so i think it's important to make a distinction here. so that phones that the chinese phones that are commercializing, you'll have different settings. so here we looked, stick the folder

prior to them entering u.s. airspace. that is another area we have to work on and i would hope that our government is doing everything they can in both those areas. >> admiral rogers, a question from the audience that occurred to me as well. in terms of the past incidents, somehow, all of our u.s. intelligence on early warning capability was not aware of it at the time. subsequently, apparently, the intelligence community, may become a couple years later, was able to somehow come back and look at data and say, holy cow. these were chinese surveillance balloons. rather than, some unidentified object. does that make sense to you? is that possible? is that the way this kind of thing right work? if you were trying to ask yourself, what evidence do i have to show activity? you go back and look at historic radar data, a slow to moderately moving entity i just did not recognize. you have to ask yourselves, so, if i go back and look at data, do i not detect emissions? the balloon, it appears, was transmitting some data back to ch

the outflow from california, similarly there was a big inflow into florida prior to the pandemic. during the pandemic there was a big jump in people moving to florida. a 60% jump. host: if you're more interested in the study, details, paragon institute.org. our first call comes from steve in pennsylvania on the independent line. you're on with the doctor. go ahead. caller: thanks for taking my call. thank you for c-span. ending the covid-19 pandemic truly irresponsible. at sometimes we have to do things we don't like because of the pressure we face from inside forces. host: dr., as far as the ending of these conversations, should there be a formal end to how we approach covid? guest: there should be a formal end to declarations and emergency measures. one of the bad side effects about the emergency declarations and the biden administration's unwillingness to listen is now we have about 16 million more people on medicaid who are not eligible for it. states were barred from removing ineligible people because of the public health declaration. when that ends, states will be able to st

or some of these, the collapse buildings were built prior to this regulation. so they are a very modern city. they're in the south eastern part of turkey. they're very, there are some of the key populated cities in the region. they're not small cities with regards to their population, but they're very urbanized. and this organization creates the density in some of the urban centers. but the fact that it's a very large area makes things a little bit more difficult when it comes to focusing on rescue and search efforts. obviously we know that this is an earthquake pro, an area lying on a, on a major fault line. i mean, looking at some of these pictures, what do you make of the building codes that was in place and do you think that it was good enough thing, some of the images that are coming through now? well, you know, looking at the pictures and looking at it from far after the things happen, it's something but you know, and whether the inspection were done, whether these buildings were safe and they were on par with the code it something else. fortunately, it i

because prior to their 1st victim there are labeled outcast. therefore, their crime is not hurting anyone or anything they care about. serial killers, look to the media and hollywood to give them the attention the in boost, their own self esteem, something their prior life before killing offered. now the public has an attraction to these stories, mainly because they want to find an answer or reason behind the killers madness. rarely are those answers found and even more fascination endures. where there is demand supply as quickly produce which produces a high profit. however, it's not just those seeking answers consuming and hoping for more materials. rather, it could also be those serial killers who are looking themselves to become a household name. i'm going to hughes, and this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching. ah, this, i ah, by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british empire. the colonial authorities had imposed that heavy death bringing the pe

so they were speaking prior. i would be surprised if the chinese wasn't preparing itself for such an action. that said, you lose a major military asset, even if it's one that you made the decision to float over the continental united states. it is something i'm sure the chinese are taking seriously right now. >> you wouldn't want to have the secretary of state overseas in china while a chinese asset is being taken down by u.s. military all simultaneously. thank you so much. >>> i want to go back to the pentagon and oren lieberman. >> we have our first statement from the pentagon, official acknowledgment from the department of defense and a little more information about what went behind this action and what assets took part in it. in a statement of secretary of defense lloyd austin, the pentagon said it was a u.s. fighter aircraft that successfully brought down the high altitude surveillance balloon. the balloon, which was being used by the prc, the people's republic of china n an attempt to surveil sites in the c
