on what has happened in the past year and the election of the biden administration, how would you address that? prof. glaude: the u.ktion of the book came out in january. i wrote in the presses that addition, i pray that we don't treat -- the fantasy of donald trump with his belief that america must be a white nation -- i don't want us to hold onto the viewer believe this fantasy that somehow the election of the biden harris administration resolve the matter, that we ought to -- that their election puts a grateful republic back. i heard the last collar, eye color in the last hour say she was sleeping well. i'm happy about that but she must understand we are still in a moment of crisis. the forces that are at work, they saw us in cpac and we are seeing it across the country. there are those that are insisting on america being and remaining a nation overdetermined by this belief that white people ought to matter more than others. we are confronting the new redeemers and we have to address them directly before actually going to move forward. >> let me ask you about specifics of the biden administration. late last month

u.k. and the rest of europe, and it is a complex issue and a variety of reasons. one is the vaccine strategy that the ukiah adopted prioritizing first doses and delaying administration on the second dose. the main issue is the shortage of supply at this point and there is also the rollout problem. rollout plans in many countries are getting up to speed, hopefully that will be resolved. but the main problem is how it relates to the supply. thirdly, there is not much that the e.u. can do at this point. supply will increase, but not before april and that you does not have a lot of tools to address that in the leverage is very much in the hands of the tools of pharmaceutical companies. guy: a few weeks ago we were arguing about whether the e.u. was going to get u.k. astrazeneca vaccines and who was right and wrong in terms of the legal text in terms of the two contracts. at that point a number of leaders poured a lot of cold water on the vaccine. now we are not seeing uptake of that vaccine being high, in fact it is quite low and many people have indicated that they do not want it. how big of a problem is that in his or anything leadership can do about it? federico: som

administration in the early days of the pandemic. >> these variants nothing to take lightly. a woman in alabama and her two young daughters clinging to hope after her husband was diagnosed with the u.k> he went to emergency to support his heart. we went from covid test to learning about a heart problem to having surgery to support my heart in less than 24 hours. >> the variants in the u.s. are likely far more widespread than we know now and the cdc says the u.s. is on target to sequence at least 7,000 samples a week but it would take 50 to 100,000 to match what the u.k. is doing. >> there is good news here. the percentage of available vaccines being given is now up to 65%. the pace is picking up. dr. anthony fauci says that more shots in more arms is the best way to stop these new variants. >> if you stop their replication by vaccinating widely and not giving the virus an open playing field to continue to respond to the pressures that you put on it, you will not get mutations. >> and a big boost for at-home testing to share with you. the white house has a deal to get 100,000 over the counter tests to the u.s. every month through july. these tests have to come from australia until a

administration. brexit is hitting london's efforts to compete with new york as the world's top financial hub. according to a survey, only 31% think the u.k. capital comes out on top versus 60% for new york. that is a reversal from 2018, when over 50% saw london as the world's center for finance. only 12% think leaving the eu has made london stronger. global news, 24 hours a day on air and on bloomberg quicktake powered by 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. matt: thanks very much, laura wright in london with your first word news. coming up, wti crude oil hovers around $60 a barrel as freezing temperatures and a power crisis in texas take out a third of u.s. crude production. more on that next. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> it is simply unacceptable at this point for people to be without power. >> one of the problems is our system is an isolated system. >> we are going to have to take a stronger look at who is allowed priority on our grid system. renewable energy has that priority, which is discouraging our reliable energy source, which seems to be more natural gas, fossil fuel related. >> this is a remi

administration should have used its leverage to convene multilateral nuclear talks. america should invite the other nonproliferation states -- russia, china, france, and the u.k. -- to the negotiating table and encourage multilateral talks at limiting the growth of nuclear arsenals worldwide. i understand president biden's desire to focus on the issues he campaigned on, whether it's climate change, immigration reform, or any other policy area. but in doing so, he should not ignore the larger threats to global security or relinquish the leverage we have to secure a deal that improves global security at large. now, mr. president, nuclear weapons, not climate change, are the greatest existential threat we face, and the united states cannot sit idly by while moscow and beijing pass us by. mr. president, i yield the floor, and i would note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call:

administration, is the focus on florida. they are actually considering a travel ban from florida because they claim the u.k. because if you're worried about strands and spreads, you would first worry about california, which leads the nation in cases, new york is second, texas is third. florida is a distant fourth, almost half of what texas has. and then in terms of deaths, florida is behind texas, new york and california. this feels like pure politics. >> so there was a story in the miami herald a couple days ago that said that they are -- the federal government apparently, some agency is considering restrictions for florida travelers, which jen psaki was asked about yesterday and she said this. >> does the president support leaving the southern border open to migrants, even before he would even consider this idea of domestic travel restrictions? >> well, the bore of deer is -- border is not open. the majority of people who come to the border are turned away. and we are enforcing our of laws at the border but we are also doing it, attempting to do it in a humane way. and so this is not, again, the time to c

u.k. in florida. what do you think? is a ban a good move? bad move and why? >> no. this is just ridiculous. this is a wishy washy policy consideration by the biden administration that everybody wants to move. you just had the article about home prices. why are they up? because people are leaving new york. they are leaving illinois or california. they are coming to a place with can lower taxes better weather and more job opportunity. this is an attack on florida businesses and ann attack ton florida families. makes no economic sense no. science in this. wasn't biden the group that was supposed to follow the science. there is no science in this at all. jedediah: so what do you say to those who say well, it's not about florida, actually. if we have an uptick in a variant which we know the u.k. variant is highly contagious. we have that in texas or california, we could, you know, mainland with a ban on one of those states? what's your response to something like that. >> what they ought to focus on is they ought to focus on making sure that we have a good testing program. we have a good tracing program. every state needs to have that just make sure we get the vacci
