that will empower state and usaid to be at the table in the way that cannot today. major: another question, you have long been a champion of the transatlantic relationship, one of the main obstacles to a reader and what needs to be undone that was done in last four years -- 28 reboot -- to a reboot, what needs to be undone that was done in the last four years? sen. murphy: many of our transatlantic partners have got it made other plans. we have just seen this significant agreement with china. we have seen countries like france start to deploy more unilateral foreign policy toward the middle east. in north africa. so it is going to take work to bring those countries back into a transatlantic coalition. but it is not impossible. china is the primary example of where transatlantic cooperation is vitally necessary. the europeans know and president-elect biden knows that there is no strategy to manage the rise of china, in a way that does not endanger our security and economic interests, without walking every step together with the europeans. including standing up new co

usaid it is not playing any games. it has announced an inspection of the site. it will have sack seen export restrictions making sure they don't head to the u.k. where there's a shortage in europe. to give you an idea how monumental the task is, they want to vaccinate 70% by the summer. at the moment there's about 2%. >> a long road here to climb. >>> this morning fans are mourning the loss of a true icon. actress sicily tyson. she had ground breaking performances as she paved the way for generations of black actors who came behind her. she received an oscar nomination for the 1972 film "sounder." >> good morning, rebecca. i sort of was expecting you this morning. >> 45 years later, an honorary oscar. all along the way she won three emmys. became the oldest person at 88 to win a tony award for her 2013 broadway revival of the trip to bountiful. she refused to take roles that weren't realistic portrayals of black women. in the words of oprah she illuminated the humanity of black people. >> i made up my mind then that i could not afford the luxury of just being an

speed round, because we have more than 30 questions, but this one to jeanne from a colleague from usaid. going back to the issue of trust in media, which is a big issue because it continues to dwindle at least in the united states and probably across the world, shannon asks, can you provide examples of how programs have addressed the issue of trust in media and seen results? jeanne: for sure. trust can be built on a number of different things. i mentioned a couple of them. the more local, the more relevant the information is, people are able to make a good, informed decision, helps build trust. the more media is communicating with its community, programs like helping newsrooms explore new tech methodologies to communicate with the communities they're trying to reach, it builds loyalty and trust. we have used a program called the listeners collective to great success for newsrooms. also, the issue of inclusion, that newsrooms that reflect the audiences that they are trying to reach, the audiences they serve, from a gender perspective from ethnic and religious perspective, with that, you

and i remember i was working for usaid president bush 41 and we actually talk about the champagne after hours, not paid for by the federal government. [laughter] we had ae toast because we finally got rid of the democratically elected government which had stonewalled relief effort in the middle of the famine and a quarter of million people died as a result and we said we're finally remembered one - - done of this scroll croft if it's a light at the end of the tunnel it's a trained about to run you over i learned that painfully because as time went on we realized he was a very dangerous guy and two.5 million people died while bashir was presidentrr. why didn't you mention this? it does fit into your narrative perfectly. >> and trying to find the one line where i do mention it. [laughter] it is very interesting. there you go i have it. there is a technical reason why. when you write a book driven by narrative is like writing fiction enough to keep the reader engaged if you are too many side notes or detours it is hard to keep your reader engaged and hanging on that's what you cannot put i

to all of the state department personnel worldwide, to the men and women of usaid, whose work exemplifies you to know how proud i am of every single one of you and how proud i am to be on your team, whether you're diplomats or development workers, members of the foreign service or civil service, locally employed staff, contractors, you do hard things very, very well. these jobs demand sacrifice. they can be dangerous. the names engraved on the walls here in our lobby remind us of that every single day. we honor them by coming to work every day and doing our absolute best for the american people and for each other. i know the state department that i'm walking into today is not the same one that i left four years ago. a lot has changed. the world has changed. the department has changed. and we need only to look around to see that. i'm speaking as dan said to a nearly empty lobby. the people who are here are all wearing masks. to date, the pandemic has claimed the lives of five state department american employees and 42 locally employed staff around the world. many more have gotten sick. and

and so i told the other presidents' chief of staffs, i asked the 43rd president to come and he çvvo&]usaid course, he was a former governor of texas. but the other three, i just want to play with my clicker, i just said, if you're in the neighborhood, it was on a saturday night, they all came. we didn't really invite them. i remember when they kept -- the chief of staffs all kept calling me saying -- president obama was the first and his chief of staff called and said, well, president obama would like to come. and i said, wow, that would be great. and i knew president clinton would come there's no way he was going to let president obama come to texas and be -- honest with the bush boys without him, that wasn't going to happen. he flew overnight from europe. and president carter said -- he's old too. and he said i'm not coming but if everyone else comes, i'll come. there there are. so we went from a tent to the arena where texas a&m plays basketball that holds about 25,000. and the concert was headlined by lady gaga who called us. she called president obama's office to say i've gotten wind

optimism about the $1.9 trillion usaid package.er or a pullback to justify reflationary expectations. take a look at where we are. the bank of reuters reporting some huawei suppliers found licenses revoked during the final days of donald trump presidency, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. xiaomi currently up despite that. up almost 3%. perhaps they could benefit from that. taiwan semiconductor high by 0.7%. samsung lower 1.5%. let's get the first word headlines. >> china has earned bragging rights. the economy expanded making it the only major nation to avoid a contraction amid virus fallout. new data show full-year growth of 2.3 percent with an expansion of 6.5% in the final quarter. both readings beat estimates in a bloomberg survey. retail sales jumped in december but fell almost 4% over 2020. goldman sachs is raising its outlook for the u.s. economy this year. economists now expect growth of 6.6% in 2021. that is 0.2% faster than thought. unemployment falling to 4.5%. the upgrade is based on biden and the dem

i did a quick check of usaid how much we have given in the past.onduras 85 million, guatemala 75 million in 2020. if we make everything good there with enough government spending they will stop coming to the united states but you're not actually fixing the government hal infrastructure of those companies, of those countries that would make that change. it's foolish. it's, utopian left-wing view if you throw more money at the problem it will fix it. instead all the serious things being done to protect our citizens were going away. we're ending deportations. releasing migrants. remain in mexico policy is out the window. stopping building of the wall. as you indicated jed, the world still ticks. china and lack of seriousness they have there. that could ramp up get a lot more serious a lot more quickly as well. will: you talk about putting policies into place. others taking advantage migrants looking to come into the united states. in america, 60% said the government, should do more to stop the caravans at the border. you talk about the utopia vision,

the first lady took her bebest initiative to several countries in africa to raise awareness about usaida backdrop for an impromptu fashion show, and in one of her most notable moments while visiting undocumented migrant children detained at the border, the first lady was photographed wearing this jacket which read, i really don't care, do you? >> why did you wear it? >> you know, often asking myself if i would not wear that jacket, if i would have so much media coverage? it's obvious i didn't wear the jacket for the children. i wore the jacket to go on the plane and off the plane and it was for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticizing me and want to show them that i don't care. you can criticize whatever you want to say, but it will not stop me to do what i feel is right. >> reporter: mrs. trump, a former model, did not let it stop her from expressing herself through her other fashion choices. >> she's someone who really did support her husband's agenda and was part of it and was part of the whole strange norm breaking, complicated legacy of the last four years and her

when it comes to matters of national security, relative to institutions like the state department and usaid. so there's of this, there is a a shift towards focusing on the department of defense, missions are going over to the department of defense as a result, and that sort of raises questions about how we think about what the military does for national security, what is its appropriate role and have we gotten that right. >> well, thank you. i appreciate that. i think i'm out of time but it speaks to the need to rebalance the role of our state department and our department of defense. our state department is doing the diplomacy that is required before we would send troops to address conflicts and other issues. thank you both very much. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator shaheen. on behalf of chairman inhofe let me recognize senator cotton. >> i want to thank both of our witness for appearing. one observation upfront. when we talk about civilian control of the military and the implications for this waiver i don't think anyone believes civilian control of the military services at

stuart: ironically it happens to robinhood, well usaid, lauren.the subject completely for a second. podcasting. it is a huge medium. what about the future of the podcasting industry, i want to bring in adam carolla and robert ellen, the live by live chair and ceo of that company. he joins us now. first to you, robert, most podcast today are mostly audio. you want to change that. what will you do to the podcast of the future. >> that's a great question. so we've launched immediately upon acquiring a podcast one, a vod cast network. branded it as vod cast one. nobody better than adam fit profile. we immediately had adam do live events where we had three of his favorite artists perform with him. we added music. moved it from a radio show to television, show, variety show like jimmy kimmel with music that was special. over a million people watched. the exciting part the audio audience did not go down at all as the video audience grew and matured dramatically. the next steps is the second windows for podcasting which will be television and film. stuart
