i'm reminded of the fact that senator arlen specter a friend and mentored of mine and pennsylvania's longest u.s. senator was a long time advocate of cameras in the supreme court. when senator specter was on the judiciary committee including when he was its chair, he made it a point to question nominee for the supreme court how they felt about allowing cameras in the courtroom. he usually got them on record saying it was a noble idea and something that ought to be pursued. >> john paul steven said television in the court is worth a try. justice ruth bader ginsburg said, i don't see any problem with having proceedings televised. i think it would be good for the public. justice breyer said i voted in the initial conference in favor of experimenting with television in the courtroom. justice alito said that in the third circuit, there was a debate and he argued that we should do it. that is televising and said, i would keep an open mind. all of the subject with respect to the supreme court. >> but, of course, the moment they were confirmed and got on the supreme court of the united state

the specter of higher capital gains stocks sent stocks to their biggest slide in five weeks. caroline: i don't think you could have missed it aired bidens capital gains tax shaking investors today. mixed economic data in the united states. jobless claims posting an unexpected decline. investors already grappling with the first major economy to make a move off of stimulus. yesterday, canada signaled its intention to reduce support. christine lagarde saying scaling back stimulus is to print -- too premature for them. we are going to start with the tangible data. joe: we don't know what the future is going to be. inflation, normalization of policy. all up in the air. in the u.s., the momentum continues. jobless claims out today continuing to fall a little over half a million, which is high by historical standards and continuing to come well off the worst levels we have seen. romaine: ongoing state benefits also down. joe: i want to welcome the nobel laureate and distinguished professor of economics paul krugman. thank you so much for joining us. let's start here and now with the

the specter of possible death looms over them really until he actually dies and it is very consumingor her. it is one of the reasons also that she -- she figures out a way to navigate -- to do something for herself. i'm talking about a person who was totally devoted to him, but she also managed to keep some space and solitude in keep yourself healthy. host: lyndon johnson we learn, and perhaps it was reported at the time, was what would be called today a philanderer. he was unfaithful throughout their marriage. how did she reach accommodation with the aspect of lyndon johnson? guest: hear my answer is going to be based on what i am able to surmise. this is a marriage of many decades and anybody who has been in a marriage of many decades really cannot -- can attest to the fact that outsiders cannot tell the whole story or even part of the story. having said that, i will say something else. that question about his infidelity and philandering has been so present in shaping how we think of lady bird johnson that it has almost diminished her. i do not want to at all excusing for it, but s

viruses are no specters of borders, and until the world, really, is vaccinated, we will all be at riskf new mutations. romaine: he has sort of been pounding this message for a while, but definitely some reassurance about what the fed will do until we start to see some achievement of those targets. joe: joining us now, bloomberg's chief u.s. economist. thanks for joining us. what is your take away about powell and where he sees us on the path to full recovery? >> i feel very much on the same page of jerome powell, thinking about slack in the economy and how that will play into inflation pressures. he mentioned 8.5 million unemployed. that is basically the number if we compare the level of employment in the economy now compared to last year before the pandemic began, nonfarm payrolls are about 8.5 roughly lower than where they were at that point in time. to put this into perspective, coming out of the global financial crisis, that deficit was actually 8 million, so despite the dramatic job gains we saw in the march employment reports and over the last couple of months, we are still in wo

to put it in specter of -- in perspective, the u.s. is 40 to 41% of 1990 levels.e than half of countries are committing to the target set by the paris climate accord. it is still going to be a challenge. we are already at 1.2 degrees celsius. our white house correspondent reports. >> a virtual global summit convened by u.s. president joe biden, an invitation to world leaders to combat climate change collectively. >> the signs are unmistakable. the science is undeniable. the cost of inaction keeps mounting. the united states is not waiting period we are resolving to cape -- is not waiting. we are resolving to take action. >> biden announced of the u.s. would cut emissions by up to 52% by 2030. the pledge renews america's commitment following four years of inaction by predecessor donald trump should it more than doubles america's target under the 2015 paris climate agreement trump withdrew from an biden rejoined when he took office. 40 world leaders participated including american albert terry -- american adversaries russia and china. china is the world's biggest em

the specter of vietnam leaving a disaster behind is still very much on american minds.ant more time. but even five or six months is not a lot of time, even the state of afghanistan now. katty: as you cover the country so much, what do you think does happen when u.s. forces do finally withdraw on september the 11th? >> i was talking to a lot of afghans since the announcement was made. the next five to six month are crucial. there is either an opportunity to move towards peace for the taliban. but since the taliban have the upper hand on the battlefield or afghanistan is going to move towards a civil war. there is a lot of pessimism and it will be the latter. . but a lot of hope. katty: time for hope. it's a tight timetable. thank you for joining us. we say it has been a tight timetable, that's in the context of this being america's longest war that has gone on for 20 years. the biden administrationas given its unwavering support for ukraine's integrity amid concerns about a russian troop buildup on the border. the russians foreign minister of houston -- accuse them of tu

kennedy realized that no subject roused american voters more than the specter of a communist cuba. at every whistle stop he reminded voters that the island was, quote, a mere eight jet minutes away. and he blamed eisenhower, and company, including vice president nixon, for letting this happen. imagine being in the shoes of richard nixon. he had a pretty well-earned reputation as a communist buster, one of the premiere communist busters in america, and along comes this democrat from massachusetts suggesting that he, richard nixon, was not quite anti-communist enough. it was galling. kennedy had somehow managed to outflank nixon as an anti-communist hawk. probably the best example of this occurred in one of the nixon/kennedy television debates. not the first debate, the one that's most famous, but the fourth debate. this debate may have been the most important in the campaign. at the very least it offered a glimpse into the wonderful strangeness that was richard nixon. kennedy had come out in the press the previous day with a statement about cuba. in his statement, kennedy suggested

see the axis quote from them 200 kya hota sort this is peak winds here we're at the sky i'm so this specter ground represents the sounds of the bats i'm making right now yes that's 8 to 9 times more than working higher than what we can. really not that's because only from scratch. the goal our leaf no spot has a distinct call which can be used to identify it amongst other bats in the cave. to show it without disturbance i need to put your phones on. because a couple of them calling it now. you know when i put these uniforms on i can hear these bats book as they shins that sound almost alien but as soon as i take them off i can hear the sounds of the communities who live nearby of the farmers who live alongside bats i mean if there's any evidence of the fact that bats on humans can co-exist together seamlessly the soundscape is exactly that. this resolve would not have been possible without the support of the community here . some of whom have become ranges. and we're not overlooking the good just want to get out there no more properly more than live our lives and i love the glory of it what

am specters may have passed on information but apparently it was an act of sabotage an individual. cause damage to the electrical power which caused damage to one of the halls mr marandi i'm running very low on time here just one more question if i may has promised revenge what kind of form could up possibly take do you think. well the israeli regime has murdered an iranian deputy minister a few months ago with u.s. support this act of sabotage was probably carried out with u.s. support. no one believes the notion that israelis act separately from the americans yon belief but so i think that ultimately the iranians will respond and they will respond in a big way for a number of things that israelis have done but the iranians are patient and they're known for their patience but i think the last 20 years have shown that iran knows where to push things mr saeed mohammad marandi from the university of tehran a political analyst joining us here in r.t. international thank you very much for your time we appreciate it thank you. so it was 60 years ago today the russian cosmonaut yuri gaga

political elites and hollywood studio bosses are documentary starring in moment shed some light on specterof the dream infantry stay close. those who can the speculators and those are now the ruling elites of the world are the speculators. they can create bubbles it could be used cars this week it could be. next week it could be island somewhere in the pacific the week after that those are bubbles of the secular collapse and ultimately when the everything bubble collapses then we have the realisation that the economy died in 2008 we just haven't buried it yet. psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients rather they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem their only and rapidly in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term they're mostly disastrous suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines early up to something wonderful very often or for a fix it up to something terrible until solve all ills are always tryi

however still enough that you know people doing pretty well with the brain so far but are rising specter here could talk with one of our local state fishes this afternoon here just pessimistic or assume israel the tremendous decline in deaths and hospitalizations like what i. seen here but still 20 percent to 2 percent of americans there are kids in adolescence that are kind of a back seat until fall or winter you have 20 percent of all americans you haven't got the vaccine even jellicoe some other groups that are there anti vaccines are not getting the vaccine so it doesn't look like we're going to hit that magic her community number which tony has said is between 70 and 85 percent so i think there's still trouble ahead here. you can ask all the pundit for my next question coming back pain has a chance the conspiracy theory is spreading appalls information and partisanship are threatening vaccine progress in the us many women believe that the back thing might make them infertile roomers a bad thing is causing auto immune disorders are plying republicans across the south and in other are

services have opened fire and killed a number of protesters 5 being reported at the moment of the specter that number will rise we also saw protests on the street of young go on and mandalay myanmar's 2 largest cities which also saw the security services cracking down in mandalay they came out early in the morning initially on motorbikes this is a tactic the protesters have been using more and more which gives them a much easier. a much easier scape route when the security services come out to meet them then they met in amman poor famous city part of the city famous for its old teac bridge the security services known crackdown force the protesters out into the narrow alleyways in that part of the city where they also went in to chase them down and that appears to be something the security services are now doing they're not happy to just disperse the protests on the main road but they are going into neighborhoods where those protesters are trying to escape and hunting them down but once again i think we're seeing the security services determined to try and snuff this out they were operatio

or so i've been dying to ask you there in the specter of how to argue with a racist how do you argue with a racist. yeah. i sometimes worry that that title is a little weird for what the book actually sets out to do. and the point is if you structure your your arguments with with facts and with science and with history then these are tools which obviously clearly anti racist in their in their nature they're not a political science isn't a moral it does inherently have a political stance because it's done by people and so you know i sometimes think the conversation gets distracted by talking about white supremacists or active neo nazis and you know there's plenty of them around but in fact i'm more sort of concerned with talking to people who say who effectively have racist views or say things which are effectively races without really knowing it because it's built in race and racism is built into our society when i was writing a lot of the younger people were saying. to me. you know i wish i had this when i'm in the pub when i'm sitting around the dinner table the thanksgiving table

from a global specter, cdc is supporting sequencing capacity in more than 50 countries. such as india, brazil, and south africa. this support includes defining standardized approaches, providing technical assistance to investigate variance, and coordinating with the broader research committee. as we mark 100 days of this administration, i am proud that we have collaborated with numerous partners to expand genomic sequencing and what all that means, not only to america, but to our global efforts to end the pandemic. this work has made us better prepared for the threat of variance, help us better understand and track violence, and given us more tools to take actions that protect the american people. and people around the world. there's more work to be done, but over the past 100 days, we have ramped up our capacity to understand the virus circulating in our midst, and with 100 million americans fully vaccinated as of today, we continue to move ahead in our progress to end the pandemic. thank you very much. i will turn things over to dr. fauci. >> thank you very much dockab

ecological reasons it was 2007 i started thinking about wood perhaps 2 years earlier for it's especially specter. beautiful it was only later that i learned how to go friendly it is and that it binds large amounts of c o 2. out of. the wonderful high rise it's not just meant to be eco friendly but also an exercise in inclusive and social cohesion it won't be condos for the rich but rather housing for people of all income levels. it's about living in a neighborhood in a community if you live in a project like this you. to have the right attitude toward his world because it lives and moves in creeks. you have to be able to and want to deal with that. but to build with timber you have to cut down trees how eco friendly is that was. always certainly shouldn't just chop down entire forest so they're gone forever we need to use the resources we have in germany and central europe and felled trees selectively importing timber from further afield would be less sustainable. construction as it gets started at the lower house site in downtown berlin but if all goes to plan the wooden skyscrapers should be s

often we raise the specter of returning to the filibuster and provides a pretty useful segue into the next question which is given this uncertainty about whether returning to the talking filibuster would work, what are some other options the senate has for curtailing the filibuster, when has the senate changed its practices in the past. >> this question of debate and filibuster reform is an age-old question and age-old problem and challenge for the senate. we can go back to the 19th century and find 19th-century leaders trying to get the senate to impose and create limits on debate. a quarter-century ago digging through the political history of the filibuster and trying to pinpoint particular leaders. great senate leaders who we recognize and celebrate and some of the great debaters. the great debate, daniel webster. every time they proposed limits, it would be filibustered. it's important to keep in mind that reform efforts today come on the end of a long history and i would say a long slow march toward essentially majority rule. whether they ever get real majority rule, get rid of t

more than a very transparent attempt by united in this game of corporate one-upsmanship, the ugly spectertical correctness has invaded every area of our society and now it's invading or infecting areas that should be sacrosanct. you are a surgeon. doesn'tit matter what color your surgeon is. doesn't matter what color your aircraft controller is. doesn't matter what color your pilot is.s. there are members of all races and ethnicities that have the qualifications to be the best. b is based a meritocracy and achieving the best. not only are they endangering the safety of people, they are reducing the incentive for peopleg to achieve. when you look at that from a long-term basis especially in any safety occupation, whether it is medicine, whether it is air pack traffic control or whether it's flying an airplane as we've beenla discussing the last 4-5 minutes, it's absolutely insane to pander to the pc culture. >> tucker: because any time you take your eye off the goal, you supplant the goal with a new goal. so your goal when you fly an airplane to be the land safely. i'm not a pilot. you tel

they decided democrats need the specter of racism in order to win elections. they need to convince finally founders that america is with bigots in the system is rigged against them, life in 2021 is the same as 1965, selma, alabama, no progress whatsoever. 9 months ago we warned you against buying into biden's false promise because he could bring calm and healing to the nation if he were elected after the summer of riots. >> his election will not lead to more calm but it is going to lead to unrest electing him will not satisfy the violent radicals. it will only embolden them. my message to suburban women and older voters biden is not going to deliver the calm you think he might. this is what a biden presidency will bring, it is not going to calm down. as minnesota how calm things are now that biden is in the white house or portland for that matter. the fact is the candidate that benefited from the george ford riots was never going to bring tranquility to the nation. he is helping to fuel it. since getting elected biden has only embraced this anti-american rheto

more complicated and fascinating the storyline speaking come heading off in some direction from specters underground activists trying to prod the united states tried to do something i'm just the pure cruelty and barbarity of some of the combatants, , the isis come into the picture, engineers and scientists trying to figure out what to do with each weapon so there's all this wonderful fascinating stories. that was a big part of it. the other part is as an author, this is my third book, each one i try to let and narratives tell a bigger story. my last book was called black slacks come the rise of isis. it ended up focusing on most of oneon individual who was the godfather of isis come back in iraq in the early 2000s, creating a new terrorist movement that was like al-qaeda but more vicious. anything telling hisis biography it allows readers to understandd where this group came from and why they're so different and why they're so vicious. in the sense that's what i tried to the savior, the semi-confusing complicating things about the syrian conflict, i was a red line issued and why did we f

the reason why the defense raised that issue was again to raise the specter of doubt. maybe there was a point that george floyd ingested a significant amount of drugs, and that might have led to his demise. and so again, these are all issues which the defense is raising in order to bring that doubt, to have the jury say, hmm, i know there was a lot of things amiss in george floyd's system. was it that, or was it the next compression? that's what the defense is trying to do here. >> now let's talk about the prosecution. at this point you've already called eight medical witnesses, 11 law enforcement witnesses to make your case. laura, at what point do you think more testimony could potentially hurt in i? is that possible? >> you're always balancing as a prosecutor whether the juice is worth the squeeze. you run up against the law of diminishing returns. remember, you have to be exhausted because you cannot assume that because you think how it's going, you've heard the testimony as the prosecution and you're saying, i know i've got this element checked off. i know i've go

plan does not pass, during the book, you talk about derek chauvin murdering george floyd, raises the specterf whether there is not going to be police reform and other legislative priorities, voter reform, multiple states with republican governors or legislatures trying or are enacting bills that are going to curb voting rights. what does biden have to deliver. for congress, to pursue the agenda. >> less is more. not having contentious controversial, through congress, to pay close attention to biden, find his longer speeches in history, his long career, not actually filibusters the defensive filibuster. he's going to be measured and careful how he approaches these folks. so far he is largely talking to his own people in his own people understand how fragile the proposition is. majorities at one% of the house is democratic, 15% of the senate, bernie sanders and angus king, there is no margin for error here. in our lifetimes has been built to make it hard to get things done, and to not be able to push through an ideological agenda, voted to give you supermajority. biden doesn't have that it is

the other thing i wanted to add is my friend larry summers has sometimes raised the specter of usingrames like highest inflation rate and -- in a generation. that would be like 6%. i'm not the slightest bit worried about that. if you say, someone will be petrified that inflation should pop up 3% for a month, that could happen. it is not my personal central forecast, but i certainly would not rule it out. kathleen: you have been at the fed, you are an economist, you are a student of the fed's history. do you have any concern that as the federal reserve gets to the point where they have to start tapering bond per -- bond prepared -- bond purchases, that they will get political pushback? he said you have to have full employment, inflation above 2%, because the government is selling a lot of treasuries now. i would not be surprised if there are people in congress who think it is the fed's duty to keep buying bonds indefinitely, and keep those yields low. is that a risk for the fed? alan: yes. but i would rank that behind the bond market vigilantes. i think the first pushback you are goin

and the reason the defense raise that had issue was to raise the specter of doubt. maybe there was a point that george floyd injested a significant amount of drugs and that might have led to his demise. so what is the the defense is raising to bring the doubt to have the jury say, i know there was a lot of things amiss in george floyd's system. was that it or the neck compression? >> so let's talk about the prosecution. at this point you've call eight medical witnesses. 11 law enforcement witnesses to make your case. laura, at what point do you think more testimony could potentially hurt? is that possible? >> well, you know, you're always balancing as a prosecutor whether the juice is worth the squeeze. and you run up against sometimes a law of diminishing returns. for the reason joe talked about, you have to be exhaustive. you cannot assume because you think of how it's going, you heard the testimony as the prosecution. you say, i know i've got this checked off. i have this one. that's what i want to come in. you have to realize you're playing to a series of laymen

in growth expected by many first, a check -- jump in growth a specter by many.irst, a check in the market. we have a drop in the s&p -- i'm sorry, a rise in the s&p and a drop in tenure bonds. the s&p is trading up 22 points, 41 point 57. the tenure yield at 156 -- 41 57. the tenure yield is at 156. holding at a really cold place. gold up to really the december lows, and we are looking at bitcoin trading down almost 2% to 55,738. time for your stock of the hour. netflix benefited as the pandemic spent -- sent everyone behind closed doors. some cyber growth -- subscriber growth shows people are headed out again and there's not much to watch. ritika gupta is stepping out for a look. >> a pandemic boom being reversed for netflix, having its worst quarter in eight years, and a hit on subscriber numbers. coming in at 4 million was well-off what was estimating and millions off of what netflix was predicting itself. what is more unexpected, current quarters to be challenging. expect one million subscribers to be added. you compare that to a year ago, the first quarter

specters are two completely different questions they are fascinating. the effectiveness is still eerie heatedly debated. there border patrol agents, every border patrol agent i've talked with the past few years had absolutely walls work. this new construction did work. brook quickly the reason i' say it works it's not to block every single crossing. the point is to impede, to delay crossing where people do cross. that is with the roads come into play when you can shape where people are crossing and how they are crossing. you have the roads you can place agents to get them you can interdict them process with the agency is successful. now the folks on the other side of the debate said you talk about drugs, most drugs not all but most drugs are coming to the ports of entry. the wall doesn't really change that. i have done reporting sort of a symbol of what the wall does do. drones are now fairly common for flying drugs over the wall. people are flying drugs over ultra light aircraft. putting them on catapults and firing them over the wall. there are ways p

think about if you start to see the wage pressures lead to higher rates what does that mean from a specterbe, you know, in the same path of these trends. that's why we like, as i mentioned materials, financials, industrials that can help push through some of these prices and keep or maintain profitability >> let's talk about something else, keith. and that is taxes. you and your team did excellent work, put out a note about tax policy that pertains to the market a law enforcement of our audience, they're cfos, they're business owners, they feel like maybe they're already doing their fair share and people are worried that higher taxes may hurt stocks the problem is, you've proven not a lot of historical correlation between tax policy and the stock market i know a lot of people aren't going to want to hear that, but history and the data says it's kind of true >> yeah. and we're really fact-driven, and i will say all of the research we've done, brian, shows a tenuous relationship between tax policy and the market that doesn't mean that taxes don't matter, they do. so many other factors matter
