[ cheers and applause ] basic idea here is that it is a two-cent tax on fortunes above $50 million. so your first $50 million free and clear. the woman is not unreasonable, right? but on your 50 millionth and first dollar, you have to pitch in two cents on every dollar after that. and when you hit a billion, you have to put in a few pennies more. that's the basic idea. just so everyone is following. anyone in here own a home or grow up in a family that owned a home? you've all paid a wealth tax. it's just called a property tax. yeah, every year. and all i'm saying is for millionaires and billionaires, maybe their property tax should include the real estate but also the stock portfolio, the diamon

and so when i was going into college, the ohio state university undergrad, i knew i wanted to be a history major because it was in other words work for me. i'd read biographies of great people. and i think that the biographies matter. edna was mentioning grant. well, ron chernow wrote a big biography of glant wright after his success with hamilton so there became a new wave of people talking about and rae reassessing grant. and biography. and barack obama would look at all the other presidential writings and the one that stood out was grant's memoir which grant wrote with the help of mark dwaytwain. and it is an enduring book, mec memoirs of grant in a kind of live on forever. so i was once director of eisenhower center and we always thought ike was going to go up, up, up because fiscal conservatives like him and liberals like him because you the industrial military complex speech and the brown decision and the fact of his general i like ike. and it was always truman holding that fifth spot and you are seeing eisenhower come straight up and part of it is a new appreciation of ike as a pers

we have a stanford undergrad and this past summer she was a compelling speaker. it was in support of hong kong protesters while the team was in china and i think it is a response to that entire policy to stand up for rights or poor freedom of speech and things like that. i wonder what they would say about the appropriate response. with the journal manager, they basically have support for the hong kong demonstrators and the chinese badly overreacted in all kind of things and i'm a great fan but the initial response i probably would have said maybe quietly you are always telling us not to interfere in your internal affairs. killing an american want to say is interfering in our internal affairs. americans get to say what they wish and i thought that they were in a stronger position than they realized because the nba is wildly popular in china and it's not just yamane, it is because they love the sport in china if they threatened to take them off the air, i would say be my guest and let's see how long it is before they are satisfied watching the national team play. i

when i was going into college at the ohio state university undergrad, i knew i wanted to be a history major because it would never work for me. i would read a biography of great people, and i think the biographies matter. my editor was mentioning grant. wrong turn our wrote a biography of grant after his success with hamilton so that there would -- so there became a new wave of people talking about it and reassessing grant. my friend rutherford b. hayes has not had that biography. grant also, when president obama liked to say i am a writer, he was a best-selling writer and writing his memoir now, he would look at all of the other presidential writings and the one that stood out was a grant's memoir which a grant wrote with the help of mark twain. it is not about his presidency but nevertheless, it is an enduring book, the memoirs of grant, that live on forever. those stocks of these presidents rise and fall. i was once director of the eisenhower center. we always thought ike was going to go up, up, up because the fiscal conservatives like him, and the liberals like him because the ind

i started reading his books as an undergrad and continued reading more as a graduate student and continue to benefit from his books today. mel is the only one of our four who does not technically have a chapter in this edited collection. without giving up too much in the peer review process, let's say he played an important role in improving all the products they came to print. our interloper on the panel of historians is dr. cory shockey, technically a political scientist and protege of tom schilling. he is a long dear friend and former colleague from the bush administration. he said many important roles in academia, think tanks, and is friendly a better historian than a lot of card-carrying historians. so we are honored to be here. and finally professor andrew preston. he is a canadian by birth and citizenship, did much of his and studies in the united states and is now professor in the u.k. at cambridge. also a dear friend and a contributor to the book. with that we are going to turn it over to our panel. each will be reading his or her comments from and then we will have have a q&a ti

as a phd student but a stanford undergrad. and a former student of mine and she joined us this past summer at aspen and is a compelling speaker the floor is yours. >> so i want to talk about after aspen in october we follow the houston rockets controversy where they treated about the hong kong protesters and i think the response to that entire controversy was lacking i never really saw anybody from the us government stand up for freedom of speech or things like that. and i wonder what you would say, secretary rice about what the appropriate response would be. >> yes and if you had forgotten the general manager of the houston rockets tweeted basically support for the hong kong demonstrators the chinese madly overreacted including canceling games and the nba so the initial response was not strong enough eventually the nba said we support the rights of our people to say what they want to say i would say to the chinese quietly you are not telling us to interfere telling an american what to say as interfering americans can say what

i teach an undergrad course in medical ethics. we were talking about the nuts and bolts making the test. what is so hard doing artpcr? we're doing this in the laboratory every day. something in the reagents didn't go right. i'm confident they will fix it. we'll get the testing ruled out soon. if i had a message, testing will be done properly soon but we're not there yet. stuart: matt, mccarthy. that is an eye-opener. thank you for appreciate it. the name of the book is "superbug." it has nothing to do with this virus? >> it has all the to do with the diagnostics of all different pathogens. stuart: i'm not a doctor but matt, come back. >> happy to. stuart: deirdre bolton is watching the mask makers. >> sure am, stuart. i have stats to bring to you. look at alpha protect. you can see that on the screens there. amazing rise. we've been talking about this. in less than one month more than $14 million in orders is placed with the company. think of this, each mask sells three to $5 depending on model you get. obviously you have a lot of
