bridger was good friends with an anthropologist by the name of stephenson and stephenson said, for all the stories i heard from jim bridger, when i was with him twice, we had a severe encounter with american indians. when i saw how bridger calmly managed the situation and make sure that they were averting any fighting or in some cases actually fighting, he said, i can tell you for certain that all of jim bridger's stories about his battles, they are all true. jeremy: where do you stand on when bridger was part of the ashley henry for company expedition in 1823, they mentioned that he was with -- stayed back to help hugh glass, who was mauled by a bear. i have read accounts that are purely fictional and others where they think that could have been a young jim bridger who stayed with hugh glass. where do you fall on that? jerry: it could have been jim bridger, but i don't think it is proven yet. there are three people who knew bridger very well and the first three stories about q glass come from those three people. not full stories, a full story from moses like harris and a mention from

according to randall stephenson during that time, the tiny tax rate that company must have fiv.did they hire tens of people? they did not. they laid off 80,000 people. since the 2017 job creating tax cuts for corporations went into effect, at&t has laid off an additional 40,000 people and they paid randall stephenson about $35 million. so this job creator mess is nonsense. without -- what about private equity folks? maybe people to buy companies, did they create jobs? >> no. that's and even more ridiculous idea. the example we use in the book is the big toys "r" us deal. with toys "r" us there was a profitable company that was taking over private equity guys who raised money and managed private equity fund to buy out owners, their shareholders, and they did that. d up doing was closing all the stores and use the land to sell the land with the stores were the buildings to pay off the debts. that's fine it's perfectly legal but did not create any jobs. they claim to create 62000 jobs in their speaking. but they don't tell you that the company previously had 97000 people at its pea

. >> i start with john stephenson. prime minister. >> mr.peaker, today marks five years since this country voted to leave the european union and to take back control of the issues that matter if of the united kingdom. it has given us freedom to establish -- across the country, driving new investments, the vaccine rollout in europe to protect us best in jobs and renewal of every part of the u.k., to control our immigration system and to sign an historic trade deal with australia. it will allow us to shape a better future or for our children. of the 5.6 million e.u. citizens who have already applied to our settlement scheme, and i would encourage everyone who is eligible to apply before the -- next week. this week armed forces week, and i'm sure colleagues across the house will wish to join me in thanking our fantastic armed forces for their service to the country. i have meetings with ministerial meetings. >> prime minister, to achieve our target will acquire policies and a free market approach. making solar panels compulsory -- [inaudible] w

crash -- a neil stephenson book called "snow crash." our focus right now is building amazing 3d worlds with amazing characters and amazing stories, whether that is in the context of our sports business or our entertainment business, and trying to develop what is good for our players over time. at some point, it would be natural to assume our players will want to do more than the core element of the game. i think it is less about the meta-verse and more about how we fulfill the motivations of our players in the context of interactive entertainment. andrew wilson, ceo of electronic arts. good to have you back. not another year before you return. coming up, step aside, silicon valley. austin, texas has reasons to swagger, attracting more tech workers than other cities in the past year. i'm going to speak to the austin mayor about how his city is grappling with a rapid influx of new people. our citylab series is next. ♪ emily: if we learned anything in the last year, it is that working from home is an option being embraced by millions of am

and we also have paul stephenson, former government adviser who was also one of the top bods in the voten. hello, paul. hiya. thanks for having me on. thanks for coming on. i thought we could start in a reflective mood. does everyone have just one kind of key moment from the last five years that you just think, "that is the moment i will tell when i go on this is your life in 27 or 30 years' time?" laura? do they still make this is your life? maybe it will come back. i love that! ok, so mine was... actually, walking down — you'll know — what is the name on the right and you've got the big... rue de la loi. walking up rue de la loi and actually my phone pinged and it had all seemed really terrible, we were at some summit and it seemed like it was going to be a disaster, borisjohnson was already in charge. my phone pinged and it said "deal done". and that for me was... and it was weird because i was on my own and... that was the withdrawal agreement? yes. katya, what was your standout moment? there are too many. because you know, myl catchphrase used to be, just one more thing! i think in

betsy stephenson joins us now at michigan, holding court on labor share. is a stunning trend from world war ii. it is because of technology, because of productivity. betsy: i think we will see a return to workers seeing some bargaining power, particularly at the bottom end of the income distribution. their services are in demand all over the shop. those heavy help wanted signs you are seeing. not only are your workers wanted today, they are probably going to be want to just as much or more next month, so take your time, pick your employer, start listing your demands, and they are definitely doing that. that is why we are seeing wages getting pushed up at the bottom. we are seeing people quit jobs. we saw more people quit retail jobs in the month of april than at any other time in the series history over the last 20 years. so workers definitely have some oomph right now, and they are using it to find a better place for themselves. tom: wells fargo looking at nominal gdp over 7%, and i get that is an outlier call, but the bottom line is when the fiscal stimu

on behalf of our president, lonnie stephenson, thank you for inviting me to testify on the importance of modernizing and expanding the electric grid. the ibew is the largest energy union in the united states, with 775,000 active members and with roughly 400,000 workers employed in generation, transmission, distribution, and construction . it is said the north american electrical grid is the largest machine ever built by human hands. the interconnecting web of power plants, end users and everything in between fuels the $22 trillion u.s. economy. however, our current electric distribution system, which was primarily built in the 1960's and 70's and functions on a regional or localized basis, needs significant replacements and upgrades now and in the coming years to maintain and enhance system performance and deliver new, cleaner sources of power generation from its source to customers. the need to modernize and expand the electric grid has become even more pressing due to climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. any effort to markedly increase clean and renewable

either, and of course you do not see any of that in the united states, but this is something brian stephenson said first impression in germany. he was giving a talk about trying to abolish the death penalty and the german said we could not possibly have the death penalty because of the nazis, so the backlash, the correction, the working through the past has had an awful lot of repercussions. michele: a couple of questions, john mitchell wants to know if you take down confederate statues across the south might downstream generations forget slavery? dr. neiman: no one is forgotten germany. we do have a museum or old nazi statues, but there are a lot of militaristic prussian statues from the first world war and they were taken down and put in a museum and they are placed in an interesting way. they are not on pedestals. children are encouraged to climb on them. you are not supposed to look up to them. that would be a solution. at the important question is what you put in place of the confederate statues. because germany has memorialized so many other things, there were not an awful lot of euros
