pretty quick in this this week spokesman a spokeswoman for china's national development and reform commission said the year on year decrease has contract it to around 3 percent but nothing in both auto outputs and sales that's for the 1st 11 months so far is this a reflection of what we're going to hope to see across the world then. i think we're going to see a reflection across the world of of course china is going to be back up and running quicker they seem to have gotten through the pandemic they are starting to vaccinate people as vaccines become more and more popular people have more and more confidence in purchasing new vehicles and getting out there and getting back to remotely normal life europe will come behind it's going to be a little bit on the slower side but i think japan and a lot of the other asian countries will perk up much quicker we're going to see a big change for next year i think next year auto sales are going to be huge as well as the oil sector you're going to see a big increase there as well so we're hoping for a big recovery here and sooner rather than later i want

commission include voices like eric holder, the . professor at harvard they would make the case for particular reforms would be valuable voices on thatmission. >> my understanding is there is conservatives, i believe the law professor and co-founder of the federal society has written about term limits, as well. the idea of regularizing, i didn't say that right but we'll keep moving, of these terms such that everyone has a kind of democratic transparency going into election, that's part of what is crazy, right? you then know okay, we're voting for a person who is going to appoint x many seats as opposed to a vail of ignorance and depending on the luck and there is no, like, there is no conservative or liberal vail to the question. >> right. and i think that we should also approach this with a goal in mind of trying to undue vesting of our system that lend ourselves to minority rule. the supreme court as it's set up now is really the 6-3 majority on the court now is the outcome of two count er majority factor to compounded into this 6-3 court on everything from health care to gun safety to climate change because you have in donald trum

important that that commission include voices like eric holder, heather mcghee, the former head of dee moos. these are all people that have been out there making the case for particular reformsbe valuable voices on that commission. >> my understand is there's some conservatives, i believe stephen cal brayzy has written about term limits as well. the idea of regularizing -- i didn't say that right, but we'll keep moving -- of these terms such that everyone has a kind of democratic transparency going into election, i mean that's part of what's so crazy, right? you then know, okay, we're voting for a person who's going to appoint "x" many seats as opposed to a veil of ignorance and, you know, depending on the luck, and there's no, like -- there's no conservative or liberal valence to that question. that's just a question to us as democratic citizens knowing what we're getting. >> right. i think that we should also approach this with a goal in mind of trying to undo vestiges of our system that lend themselves to minority rule. >> yeah. >> the supreme court as it's set up now is really the -- the 6-3 majority we have on the court now is really the outcome of two countermajoritari

in it, it reported that the country's top economic planner, the national development and reform commissionere. the big speculation now is whether australian coal is now directly targeted by the chinese authorities. it also quoted a senior academic who made that connection with diplomatic ties. he's the head of the institute of energy and economy at the chinese academy of social sciences. and he said as the relationship between china and australia deteriorates, australia is gradually losing its chinese market, and that the gap with the australian coal can be met, if you will, from countries like russia, like indonesia, like mongolia. whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation, austria needs to decide what to do next. here's former prime minister kevin rudd on what he thinks australia should do next. when you end up in a situation, as we are at present, where 40% of this country's experts go to one country, namely the people's republic of china, that's not balanced. the task for australian governments is therefore to diversify the economy domestically, but secondly also to do so interna

share our technology and expertise, and that would've been a crushing blow to china's early reform commission. and may be the global today would've been very different to how and actually does. but here we are in 2020, and china has an economy in the world's biggest exporter in the world. an exporter increasingly in the capital to any emerging markets . and multi nationals here in the u.s. and europe and japan and korea. there are equally invested in the china relationships. those of the support sources of supply and demand. so it is clear that there has been a change in the way that the worldviews china party did this very clear here in the u.s. and in europe and other parts of the world. there's been a shift in focus from things that might be opportunities to worrying about the risks and how to manage them. and is that going to mean a cold war, in a meaningful since were economic parties are comprehensively broken. i find that very hard to imagine. summa freighted did not get to all of these amazing comments that you had on the panel or from the audience but i think that deals with some of

viable vehicle any other measure voted with other provisions whether it's the action 230 reform or the commission to investigate the last election on fictitious fraud is doomed. it is doomed logistically. it is doomed legally and physically. there is no way for the house to pass it. only the house if past can provide americans with the $2000 stimulus payment that they so desperately need. only the house bill provides that relief. any other measure will be doomed because the house cannot come back to pass it in the time that we have left in this session. so, the majority leader essentially blocking a step that will literally save lives, supported by the vast majority of the american people. a significant part of his own conference and every democrat and have no doubt every democrat will vote for it we clamored for it. a higher stimulus payment ffor months when the majority leader refuses to come to the table. then when the president of the united states failed to lift a finger, he was on the golf course when it might have made a difference in raising that 600 dollars amount. higher during the nego

his reforms were formalized by law in 1889 when the commission hospital service was created. as the core was expanding during the closing years of the 19th century, so was biological discovery.

commission was to find ways to consolidate overlapping services and provide efficiencies and kind of reduce the overall cost of government. 80% of the recommendations were approved by congress. instituting those reforms was the korean war. which, of course, required the government again to do more spending. the second hoover commission under eisenhower was more pro forma. are inby that time we the cold war and the space race, and all of those other things. commissions that looked to reform government, results onreat paper, and it is much harder implemented, because life intrudes. couple of: ok, a other ones here. did hoover have a pet, and is that pet showcased at the library? most popular the picture that was requested by hoover shows his belgian police , and it is next to him. hoover's actually had many dogs. when king tut died, hoover was still in the white house and they did not announce it to the public, because they knew they would be inundated with all of these puppies. [laughter] so, the other kind of misconception is that their ,oungest sun -- son, alan ,iving in a house on s street alan had two alligators. that he wanted to raise. , missesot to be colder hoover, who is very tolerant, said n

the commission and before i get to a couple others can you discuss did the oover commission lead it significant reforms? >> yes. -- this was under harry truman. all the deficit spending for the war and then rebuilding of europe, had to dial rnment down its spending levels. was to oover commission find ways it consolidate and provideservices efficiencies and reduce the overall cost to government. of the recommendations were approved by congress. what blew up instituting those was the korean war, which of course required the do more t again to spending. the second hoover commission was more pro er forma and again by that time we are in the cold war and the race and all of those or thin things. that ost commissions, looked to reform government, results on paper harder to uch implement because life intrudes. >> sure. ones here.her did hoover have a pet and is hat pet show cased at the liberal? thate most popular picture was requested by hoover shows belgian police dog king tu tutt. is next to him. he hoovers actually had many dogs. when king tutt died hoover was and in the white house they didn't announce

hoover commission was to find ways to consolidate overlapping services and reduce the overall cost to government. 80% of the recommendations were approved by congress. what blew up instituting those reforms was the korean war, which of course required the government again to do more spending. the second hoover commission under eisenhower was more pro forma. and again, by that time, we're in the cold war and the space race and all of those other things. so like most commissions that look to reform government, they have great results on paper and it's much harder to implement it because life intrudes. >> sure. okay, a couple other ones here. did hoover have a pet and is that pet show cased at the library? >> most popular picture that was requested by hoover shows his belgian police dog king tut and it's next to him. the hoovers actually had many dogs. when king tut died, hoover was still in the white house and they didn't announce to the public because they knew they would be inundated with all of these puppies. so the other kind of misconception is that their youngest son, allen, when he was secretary of commerce and they were living in a house on s street, which still stands and is the m

done through nda, do you have other suggestions of how to do it, and are there other key reforms from the commission that you would prioritize? start with congresswoman underwood and move to congressman hurd and back to senator warner. >> i've only been the chair for a couple of months. i'm going to defer to my colleagues on the panel. >> john, having a centralized person focus on this, the key is who is the person, right? we can get a good one. my fear around this particular issue is that everybody should be focused on this, we can't just have one person setting the policy. this is too big. it's moving too fast. we have to have everybody. i think removing mr. painer out of the state department was probably a bigger hit because we need someone building those coalitions with all of our allies around the world on engaging on these norm settings and things that senator warner was talking about. in my opinion, it's six to one, half dozen of the other. if you have one centralized place, it takes responsibility off of everybody else to be focused on this unless this person is going to crack the whip and m

ballot integrity reform watching a commission that's going to look at the issues about every voter fraud. my issues. i also a repeal of section to agree with you just mention. and by doing so eliminating protections for internet companies like facebook and twitter. moving liability for those for their users to post all kinds of content. and what not so i think it's it's just a matter of passing which version the chamber's want to pass and i think what you're seeing is politicking at its best or you think of it because both chambers of $2000 stimulus bill with different language. the president has backed that both chambers and different versions, its intransigence at its best. >>and jonathan her running out of time, but i want to ask you one quick question before i let you go. off governor newsome is facing potential recall over 800,000 signatures have been put on this petition there needs to be much more for it to happen, he's been silent on the whole issue he's been dealing with the pandemic my question is if this recall were to move forward considering the situation that we're in right

their member states if they haven't done so before have to present their investment and reform plan so the you commission can approve then and then they will be given the money through grants and loans and italy for example has already said that they want to focus on women employment and they want to direct 60 percent of the money towards a green economy and 40 percent of the money towards digitalisation there are smiles all around no doubt especially when you talk about money you know and money being received but it wasn't all smooth sailing no you're right so actually did this questions are still going on how to tackle climate change this is apparently a very difficult issue the european union wants to be carbon neutral by 2050 and the european commission put forward and vicious goal of reducing emissions by 55 percent by the end of the next decade however not everyone is happy with that countries in the eastern europe like poland or bull gary are saying we are still coal dependent we need more money to invest in our infrastructure so we will see if their leaders can agree on that there is a lot at sta

and in it, it reported that the country's top economic planner, the national development and reform commissionconomy at the chinese academy of social sciences. his name is wang yong xiong. and he said, as the relationship between china and australia deteriorates, australia is gradually losing its chinese market and that the gap with the australian coal can be met, if you will, from countries like russia, like indonesia, like mongolia. we haven't heard an official confirmation from beijing yet. australia, as we heard there from simon birmingham, the trade minister, he has urged beijing for clarity and for it to rule out this report by the global times. he also said that even though he doesn't believe everything he reads on chinese media, this is consistent with china's behaviour. if you remember, in october, china has unofficially put a freeze on australian coal. we had dozens of carriers that were stranded offshore. mind you, this was coal that was already bought and paid for. the prime minister has also commented, he says until he gets confirmation from beijing, he's going to treat this like

won't be able to pass a new piece of legislation with massively complicated internet reform and a voter fraud commission in it. so mcconnell, if he moves forward with that proposal, he's making it clear he wants to kill the $2,000 checks. if he brings up the house bill, then we have a chance to pass it and get it signed into law and help a lot of people in this country during a tough holiday. >> he may be getting what he wants and that's not passing any bill that is sending $2,000 checks out to families. given that republican senators have embraced the $2,000 checks, do you think it could help give them an edge to win in these crucial runoffs that will decide who controls the senate in georgia? >> well, listen, i don't know how this plays out in georgia. all i know is my folks in connecticut, you know, desperately need this help now. folks are getting evicted, as we head into january. moms and dads are having a tough time putting food on the table. they need that help. i mean, listen, ultimately people in georgia are watching what mitch mcconnell is doing. he's playing games with the lives of americans

expert rick carson said voter fraud occurs through absentee ballots but bipartisan commission on federal election reformed by jimmy carter and james baker said quote, absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud. over and over again this year "the wall street journal", take one example, warned that mail-in voting would lead to disaster. in 2016 there was a problem with 1.2% of mail-in votes and this year we have 65 million double the amount and with that massive overnight increase you would expect more problems, not fewer. but now no one wants to no, shut up and move on. this establishment arrogance is dangerous for our democracy and we have to get to the bottom of this. it is outrageous that the trump campaign is fighting on its own. everything one of those pompous establishment pontificate tours sanctimoniously lecturing everyone about trust in our democracy should join the fight for election integrity. as usual, the truth is the direct opposite of what they say. it's a total lack of curiosity about what just happened that was really destroying trust in our democracy. republican

you commissioned a report to implement reforms but as far as i read the data in your state they're still going up right now. is there anything to be done, lessons you've learned, to protect the folks in those facilities? >> testing, testing testing. we're testing in every facility on a weekly basis. anybody looks like they're symptomatic or testing positive, we get them out, we get them in to covid only fal. we're trying to limit nurses. sometimes they're going to multiple nursing homes because there's a shortage of nurses. we've got the ppe. wie got the masks. we're pretty on that. and the tragic decision we had to make was no more visitations. what that means to grandma or grandpa is really hard. though visitations are bringing the germ with them. we'll be starting vaccinating within a few weeks. >> is it your understanding that those facilities, you might be getting actual doses to get to those facilities in a few weeks? >> that's right. we get the pfizer vaccine. ships on monday. it's got the ice. it's going right to hospitals and nursing homes and we've got the big pharma companies

reasons for limiting voting to one 24-hour period are described by the 2005 bipartisan commission on federal election reform, co-chaired by democrat president jimmy carter, and former republican white house chief of staff and secretary of state, james baker. they strongly cautioned against overly broad absentee ballot and vote by mail schemes because they, quote, increase the risk of fraud, end quote. the bipartisan commission found that absentee voting has been one of the major sources of fraud in american elections, and that vote by mail, quote, is vulnerable to abuse in several ways. blank ballots mailed to the wrong address. or to large residential buildings might get intercepted. citizens who vote at home, at nursing homes, at the workplace, or in church are more susceptible to pressure, overt and sut many, or to intestimony days. vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail, end quote. mr. speaker, congress passed laws to prevent voter fraud and election theft by establishing with minor exceptions a 24-hour window in which to vote. in contrast, socialist democrats us

ties these checks to two things the president has wanted, 230 reform relates to liabilities for tech companies but also a voter fraud commission so those are the things the president wants. and what mitch mcconnell is saying he's going to put all of them together in a bill that would be nousintroduced on the senate floor. that's not going to go anywhere because the other things the president wants in this is going to face on sis frpposition from democrats. so the idea that democrats had to bring the $2 stimulus checks today, mitch mcconnell said we're not doing that when he was on the floor with bernie sanders and several other senators today. the president hasn't responded to what this is going to be. it what he wants to see but i not going to end up in what he actually wants to get. that's the question here. we do know the $600 stimulus checks could start going out in a matter of hours according to the treasury secretary. whether they get to what the president is demanding, is saying is going to be a death wish if republicans don't get there, it still in limbo and far from clear where had is going to end up, jim. >> and on t
