we are not done. we have more to do but i think we have learned a lot. i want to make sure, as the incoming team knows, the team that they remember, the cdc they interacted with in 2020 is not the same organization that we are now. there is always more to do and i look forward to continuing to support that work even as i pass the baton. sen. barr: you have given us a tremendous amount of items that we need to talk about today but before we go to that, steve, allow you to make some comments. steve: thank, dr. cohen. i want to offer just a few thoughts. one is just on your leadership, we did a lot of work here before you had arrived, published an analysis on cdc which we were very proud of. we work closely with you as you came in in july 2023. i think your leadership has really been remarkable. you did your homework, listen and consulted widely, and you delivered rapidly on these many fronts that we have talked about. and it is a different agency, different capability, different outlook. i want to thank you for your leadership on the global side of that wh

we won youth by the largest margin -- we generally don't win youth. we won by 36 points.magine that? i think tiktok had something to do with that. i did i have become jaded about tiktok, but we will see what happens. china won't be involved. you don't want china involved. but we will see what happens. my agency has been moving with historic speed to remove every disaster of the biden administration. by the way, the guy was a disaster. we want to be nice, and he is probably not listening right now because it is a little late, but you know. i don't want him to listen. i feel badly. i was making the inauguration speech and i am saying all the bad things and he's sitting like, right here, and i was saying they worry horrible administration, they did not know what they were doing, they were grossly incompetent. i've got the guy sitting right next to me. it's not that easy to do, even though he did not understand what i was saying. he really did not. and deliver on the mandate have been given by the american people. in a single week, i have taken over 350 executive actions. who

we see you. we see you, jill. we use see you flirting with our boy. we see you. okay, lady. we know you voted trump. a major impact on turning point usa. [laughter] it is good. it is good for us, really. it is. this is joy. [cheering and applause] look at the man. look at this. can we just celebrate per second just breathe and not talk about continuing resolutions for second and just celebrate what is happened, what god has done for our country. look at the man. this is trump taking out the trash. you want to see trump take out the trash, i've got you. i've got you. here is a photo of trump taking out the garbage. now, when they kick the campers out at the white house they did not show you this photo. i've got my hands on it. okay. we are pretty good at this stuff got my hands on it. hey, joe, how excited are you have trump in the white house. [cheering and applause] just a little interior decorating. trump does new building so nicely. i wanted to take a single moment and recognize where we come from and what god has taken us through. this is a moment, i am a believer, i am

back on this, we know that we did what we could for others. i look at the people who were out there on the line last night. the winds were like something i had never seen before. firefighters, police officers, deputies. they're out there, sheltering in their vehicles, trucks and cars, so they don't end up getting burned from the fire that was being driven by 75- plus-mile-an-hour winds. they were there until they could get out of the car and go back to doing their work. as you can imagine, a very difficult circumstance to deal with. these are, as i mentioned, unprecedented conditions, but also unpredictable. as the fire continues to spread and pop up in different locations. none of us know where the next one is going to be. so i would ask you to be vigilant. to look at your neighborhood. to talk to your neighbors, to have everybody on board. so if they see something start up, we get on it quickly. we get fire resources out there. because with these winds, once it starts small, it will be very big, very quickly. so i would ask for everybody's h

in ways we talked about we demonstrate how much we can get the. countries we are working with it is our democrat base and that doesn't mean it is what democracy is and that challenges we face and demand we work with any country interested and solving a problem but we are only starting our base of fellow democracies. ... pursuant to the constitution pursuant to the rule of law and doing a piece away and i fully expect they will emerge stronger on the other side. japan do we have a difference of her particular business deal? c.s.. seen in the context of the fact that we are each other's largest investors one deal does not a relationship make an on the contrary the partnership the alliance with japan is stronger than it's ever been including economically and here in europe i talked about this already, the work that we have done together with our partners in support of ukraine is simply nothing short of historic and a it's the biggest burden sharing i've seen in my 30 tears him i can go down the list of the most important thing is this, as we transiti

ad nauseam we have been saying that we had we are running through the tape and we have proven that every day of 2025. we have been pretty busy. what can we do to get into the liver for the american people? what can we do to make the lives of the american people better? that is our focus. i won't speak to decisions made in court today. reporter: mehta made a decision this week about doing away with fact checking for facebook and other platforms. it does the white house have a reaction to that? sec. jean-pierre: we have been pretty consistent here over the last four years. when any corporation or company makes a decision, a private company, to be more specific, makes a decision, we just won't comment. i won't comment on this. i will just leave it in that realm. look, i will say this. social media companies make their own rules about content moderation. that said, we've been outspoken about our belief that social media companies have an important role to play to prevent the spread of misinformation. that is the responsibility that company has and we have always been pretty clear about that.

we are special and who we care for, but we are not unique.there is no reason in the world that we cannot get this done. that is a concern that i have because you in this body and you have done a great job making sure that we are funding a system that we are now sitting here six-eight years away and nothing has happened. just as a senator talks about not only the transition, we have to get better health so we cannot only have the issue with our one on one doctrine we can move faster. they can see the information ahead and it is safer for the patient. for me, as soon as possible, in the very early stages of confirmed, i will gather together members of my spat -- staff that will be specifically tasked within the first days of this administration to see what is the issue. why is it waiting and wise a previous administration saying that they may try to started back in 2026. i believe that we can do it and do it properly, not rushed. there is enough information that we can get it done quicker. >> the first step would be to bring oracle into your st

we do. of ties in with the number of work orders we do because one kind of leads to the other. that concludes this slide. >> excellent. so this slide is broke up later on but this is the whole picture together in the aggregate we filled one unit more specifically we had one family move out and we had they received a portable voucher and we're able to get at a house or something and we had two families move in during the month of december. so we have a total of 163 occupied units. i'm going to go through this line by line as quickly as possible. the next slide just shows the occupied units i already said that we increased we had a net increase of one unit the slide after that is vacant and rentable units these are units that have been turned or almost turned and we've asked for referrals so we continue to have seven of those units but they're not the same. they change as we fill units turn units, things like that. since that time of those seven units we've had one move in two new referrals th

we had no wars when i left. we defeated isis.a lot of wars and we are trying to put them out. we will get them put out. don't worry. we are -- we were headed to world war iii. and we would've had problems like you would not believe. they shut down u.s. energy, buried you in regulation and imposed hidden taxes and spent millions of dollars in radical left lunacy. the result was the most brutal inflation and a half century or perhaps ever in this country. and soaring prices for food, groceries and other household goods. the people of nevada are now paying nearly $1200 per month more to make ends meet since i left office. think of that, $1200 at least. but since i became the 47th president at noon on monday i've been moving with urgency to fix every single calamity of the biden administration that they have created. and this week alone i took nearly 350 executive actions to reverse the horrible failures and but trails that we inherited from a group of people that did not know what the hell they were doing and what they have done to

we would do all we can as the u.s. conference of mayors to support mayor bass, other mayors in the region come up with their full recovery. what a week to be in our nations capital. the presidential inauguration is monday, just down pennsylvania avenue on the steps of the capitol. it is a moment, a storied tradition going back 236 years to president washington's inaugural address. it is a moment, regardless of our politics or differences, to celebrate the continuation of this great american experiment. it is also the moment when the work of governing begins once again. i know i speak for the great mayors standing with me today when i say, america's mayors know a thing or two about governing. at a time of so much challenge, when so much continues to divide us, america's mayors, republicans, democrats, and independents are an example of what can be accomplished when you put solutions before partisanship. it is because mayors don't have time for partisanship in politics. the people we represent expect us to get things don

we need to stop that. we need to address it. we need to end it. we need to have countries understand if you do not respect our companies' ip there, you should not expect the same treatment here. reciprocity is a word that really is effective. we are treated horribly. we want for that to change. you should expect the same treatment here. sen. budd: thank you. i want to ask this with your financial background. deepseek's founding company, i think it is also a hedge fund. i am still getting information on this. do you think there is a financial play from china because of the loss in market cap? was it perhaps a short sell plate on our markets -- play on our markets? mr. lutnick: i don't know. sen. budd: is it worth looking at? mr. lutnick: of course. sen. budd: are you concerned that in the u.s., we are focused, and perhaps even here in congress, we are focused on regulating our own ai activities at the expense of china taking the lead on unlocking more before we do? mr. lutnick: yes. sen. budd: what do you think we need to do here to prevent us fall

we monitor elections. we have just done over 100 elections. we try to promote peace and things like that. one time i came back from africa and the president of amber university, where i have been a professor 34 years, said, why don't you do something at home? because there was a lot of poverty in atlanta. we did an analysis of atlanta and we some 500,000 people that lived in the southern part of atlanta, a lot of them african-americans, who were living in periods of destitution. they couldn't get a job and so forth. i was amazed at how many people we took on to help. we divided them into 20 different groups of 25,000 each. we found when we went into those poor neighborhoods, which i had not been into before, that the police and the welfare workers and health care workers and schoolteachers did not live there. they lived in a nicer part of town and just commuted in and out of the real poor sections. we decided to organize the atlanta project. it was one of the most interesting things we did because i wanted to bring together higher education an

and here we are. here we are. here we are. it only took 20 years for me to come back around to having the depth of conversation. i probably should have had in college. well, let's give yourself grace for that. think. sure. all welcome. i'll take some grace. welcome. bill mckibben. long before founded third act, which we'll talk about in a minute. and even before you founded or co-founded 350 dot org, you wrote the end of nature and. iona in her book calls this the first popular press book on climate. that was in 1989. what you seeing then that others weren't? well, let me say, first of all, because i wrote the first book about all this, i get sent every book that there is about climate change. and there are varying quality. let us say this book of ideas is really important and belongs on every climate bookshelf that there is. in 1989 we had the poorer actually of this story is we had fair warning. yeah we knew what was coming. the scientific process worked to provide us with a clear consensus of what was going to unfold. if we

we are who we are because of who raised us, where we were raised and how we were raised. it never should leave you. it never has. i was raised in farmington, a coal mining town in west virginia, where we learned the best way to get ahead was to roll up your sleeves and get to work. pretty simple. my grandparents were born in czechoslovakia on my mother's side and italy on my father's side. they all came to the country in certainly of this american dream they heard about. they were thrown into survival mode early on and they wanted a better life for themselves, but most importantly for the generations to follow. they all taught me the value of a good education combined with hard work work and the importance of helping others. always be conscious of your surroundings. from them i learned the core principle, you have a moral obligation to help those who can't help themselves. very clear. but able-bodied people who fall on hard times don't need a continuous handout. what they really need is a hand up to get back in the fight of life. i believe the greatest gift you can give i

of saying we are not anti-god, we are actually pro america and we are pro-religious diversity in america, and if we lose that, if we lose that idea that this is a country for everyone, not just for some who wield power, we are losing an essential idea of america which is everyone belongs. everyone deserves a chance to thrive here. everyone has dignity and purpose and should play a part in our democracy and that is what we are at risk of losing right now. and we seen this incredible onslaught in the last week. we were preparing for this moment because we saw the playbook in project 2025, we saw the christian nationalist underpinnings of it and now we are seeing it played out in every executive order in every different way. host: interfaithalliance.org is the website. here's one headline on pete hegseth as the chairman of, or at the head of the pentagon, secretary of defense. stop pete hegseth from bringing christian nationalism to the pentagon. how is pete hegseth going to bring christian nationalism to the pentagon? guest: pete hegseth is an open admirer of the crusades, which is by all,

we saw them in 2024 where we almost touched 5%. i think we will get a settling out after the inauguration. we have some more understanding around the policies and what actually will happen or the potential to happened but i think the bond vigilantes are sniffing out. the economy is strong. we have lots of unknowns from the new administration that seems on the surface to be inflationary. as we get rates to be higher, it will be a great opportunity. i don't think they will be there by the end of the year. >> the problem, steve, is not so much the level, it is not that we did not think we would be at this level when the fed started cutting rates in september. i am wondering how much you think the fed itself has been caught a bit off guard by all of this. >> i think they weren't expecting this. i would have expected, scott, that the improvement that we saw from april through september, maybe we had overdone it a little bit but right now, we have round tripped that. if you look at the 10 year over that period of time, it is interesting

but if we cannot describe what we have, we have got a problem. in plain language, the dhs had no idea -- think about it. an agency commanding over $110 billion annually cannot account for its own activities. this is not just bureaucratic incompetence. it is a medic of a deeper issue, an agency unsure of its own boundaries and commitments. how can an agency fulfill its mission or earn the american people's trust if it does not even know the extent of its own operations. the problems do not stop there. instead of focusing on critical threats like securing the southwest border, dhs has shifted its gaze inward, targeting law-abiding americans. dhs, under the biden administration, has often used its vast powers to target americans exercising their constitutional rights. it has become an agency more focused on policing speech and monitoring social media, and labeling political dissent as domestic terrorism, then addressing genuine security threats. while cartels traffic people and fentanyl across an unguarded border, dhs has spent time and resources cr

we are safe and we take a lot so that we are safe. he's calling isn't that is have a nasa watch, they'll call them that. a full manasseh rocket scientist. he says louis to govern responsibility for damage caused by space. debris are holding there are trees that say that if you watch something get to space and it comes back and it costs of damage, you're responsible. well, again, back in the early days, and that really did not happen very much. now it's again a global problem and there are a number of space agencies that meet regularly to discuss this. the united nations has got in on to it. but there's a hopeful progress being made in that you can send the satellite up to either grab a satellite if i can. that's already been up there and bring it back safely. or you could design the satellite better so that when it's done with its job, it brings itself back in a very specific way. but that's just for the new stuff. the old stuff is still up there and it's going to be an increasing issue as time goes on the ring, they see you can. yeah

we can make real the things we imagine. and it's not that hard we've been teaching minors. we've been teaching minors in kentucky how to code so that they can get into better jobs. so what you're saying so i should know how to code how maybe you know. no, you anybody can code just. maybe you and i should talk. maybe. let's basic ground level of coding. just maybe two things. no problem. okay, now you're on the elevator. so i'm i'm pushing the button. okay, so last summer, i decided to write a book about a.i. and. i decided to call it the minds, risk and rewards. in the age of a.i., the i decided to write this book is because i saw a lot of misinformation about a.i. and i saw that, in fact, the technical people, the people who are actually doing it were the ones talking. so i thought that and there have been last summer there was so misinformation there was so much negativity about a.i. one guy in a bar said, you know, i want to punch a guy in the face. i'm so upset and. so i just wanted to kind of write a book for the publi

we would meet with the soviets hoping we can agree. we strive for peace and security.eartened by the changes all around us. since the turn-of-the-century, the number of democracies in the world has grown four fold. human freedom is on the march and nowhere more so than our own hemisphere. freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit. people worldwide, hunger for the right of self-determination for those inalienable rights that make for human dignity and progress. america must remain freedom's staunchest friend. for freedom is our best ally. [applause] and it is the world's only hope to conquer poverty and preserve peace. every blow we inflict against poverty will be a blow against its dark allies of oppression and war. every victory for human freedom will be a victory for world peace. so we go forward today a nation still mighty in its youth, and powerful and its purpose. with our alliance is strengthened and our economy leading the world to a new age of economic expansion. we look to a future rich in the possibility. and all of this is bec

we had to we had to basically hold the house in air. and what we had to do, as you can see over here, we took off our famous rusticated siding from a point from just below the windows down to the foundation. and so right behind these plywood boards are the actual 18th century framing members. and we can see them on the other side of the house a little bit later and then. we bolted in a large seating panel. each one of these bolts goes into one of our 18 century framing members. and then there are large levers steel beams that are bolted to the sea channel and you can follow them out. and this giant beam goes out and it's basically a lever and a lever and fulcrum system. here's our fulcrum. and then that big yellow beam is the weight on the x on the on the far end of the lever. so the house is cantilevered that weight equals the weight of the of this wall of the house and it balances on this balance point right here. so this short ring is not lifting the house, it's just holding it in place so that we can get at the space we need to get

>> um, we we don't know. um, we are we're i think that we don't know. we don't have words. we we never, ever, ever thought that this would be us. and when the mayor just said pack and prepare. now, had we had that notice, i mean, we have nothing. >> i just look at it like a place of gratitude because everyone my family is safe and we're not the only ones that it's happening to. all my friends, it's it doesn't seem real. my my neighborhood that i grew up in and the rec center i used to play basketball at. everything is just gone. and i just want to wake up from this bad dream and it doesn't seem real. >> i know you guys have a gofundme set up. i think we have it on the screen. what? what is the the address for? >> um, it's gofund. uh, i don't know. our friends and family. >> friends set it up. >> it's it's my sister, and, um. people that i work with set it up, and it's on the screen right now. >> um, i apologize, i can't see the screen, so. but it's on the screen right now. i know. listen, you guys must be exhausted. i appreciate you talking to us. and again, i'm just so sor

we had eight bodies in our area first two weeks and we are lucky we weren't one of them. no flood insurance so we had to depend on fema. and of course it's not enough. [indiscernible] we are thankful to be alive. >> i'm a big guy. i don't sleep in campers and first night very grateful for the asheville green center coming through. it looks like a beach now, it's sand. [indiscernible] it's 80 years, four generations. >> the house is there. but everything in it was completely destroyed. i think we are at a point, people have forgotten about asheville. and everything is stopped. >> we had purchased in may, big church. we are a small congregation and people said what are you going to do with this big building and i said only god knows and we had our dedication and the storm came the next week. and my son brought the first load of supplies and from there, i stayed there for about three months. i slept on the floor for three weeks because the need was so great. the people were so devastated. and i said i want to be here for them. and they were coming in just day and night and n

we have. we have very well designed plays. now we are working out the sequence of those plays working with a new head coach in that metaphor, president trump, and our colleagues and teammates in the senate. senate republicans. we are excited about how all of that is rolling out. we trudged through the snow yesterday to certify the election. that went off without a hitch. 38 minutes to certify the new president. that might be a record. i'm not sure. it went off well. and president trump won the popular vote. and he won all seven swing states, which woo stood to applaud during that important -- which we stood to applaud during that important procedure. we got a mandate in the election with the president receiving 77 million popular votes and house republicans receiving almost 75 million which is a record. we won the popular vote as well. we know that that message has been heard here loud and clear. as promise the we are starting today with border security. if you polled the populace and the voters they would tell you that was th
