We're gonna talk about those. We have a lot to discuss. The only thought I have today is where to begin because there's an awful lot. But indeed the president this week his first address before Congress, he had the road to my Over home state, the state I was born in but identify with less by the day a Z. There's no doubt the South border is home, but one of the people that happened to be In the chamber. In that sparsely attended congressional audience was none other than John Decker. Great televisions. White House correspondent, senior national editor friend of the show, John Happy Friday. Happy Friday to you. We made it through the week, Brian. Thanks for having me on your show today, and I hope you had a great week so far. No, it's been busy, and I'd rather than be too busy than not busy enough. And I'm with you on that. Absolutely 100%. Yeah, it was busy. You're right. I want to get your God's first just on the experience in the congressional chamber there where you're with, you know members of Congress in a weird address because of The attendants or the like thereof do to cope. And what was that experience like for you? Oh, it was surreal. It really wa so This was my 26th time inside the House chamber for president's address to Congress. But this was the most unique one on the reason being is because of as you call it, the sparsely attended crowd watching the speech in person. Just 200 people in the House chamber. For this speech last year, for instance, for President Trump State of the Union address, there were 1600 people in there and just seven credentialed media. I was fortunate to be one of them. I typically always ash actually watched the speech from the gallery. I looked down on the house floor. But this was an odd speech in the sense that joining me in the gallery watching the speeches well from there were dozens of members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats. Members of the House members of the Senate directly across from me, for instance, Brian Mitt Romney in the same row, two seats down from Marsha Blackburn. Also up there in the balcony, Looking down on the House floor. Joe Manchin taking lots of notes, storing president Biden's speech on there were a number of members that were up there in the balcony, and I could tell Brian they were not happy about having to watch the speech from up in the balcony when they watch it every year from on the House floor. So those were the The interesting thing that I really took in the other night in the House chamber during the course of President Biden's speech, you know something that is interesting and not necessarily surprising in terms of people who actually tune in to watch it. Your than half fewer than half of what had been there for Trump previously during his first address to Congress, and I actually had some people that said, I turned in for a few minutes and he seemed kind of slow and I tuned out. Do you think that not having a full chamber? You know Trump? No doubt he played to a crowd. He'd feed off the crowd, no matter who that crowd happen to be. But do you think that could impact even somebody like President Biden? Oh, absolutely. There was a lack of energy. You know, a lack of buzz associate it with the state of the Union slash address to Congress speech that was given the other night and typically, it doesn't matter who the president president is. There's a lot of buzz a lot of the electricity associated with the speech. I think President Biden wasn't Himself dissuaded by what was before him. Because, remember, you know for 30 plus years he was a U. S senator. He was used to speaking to, you know, a Senate chamber..

World Food Program wins Nobel Peace Prize
"This year's Nobel Peace Prize goes to the United Nations World Food Program. The Norwegian Nobel Committe honored the agency that fights hunger and that has tried to prevent the use of hunger is a weapon of war. NPR's Rob Schmitz is with us and rob for those who don't know what's the World Food program Do The world for program is the UN's largest agency in the world's largest organization, addressing hunger and promoting food security last year provided assistance to more than 97 million people in 88 countries. I think what stands out about this program is it's one of the few U. N agencies that has the ability to enter Countries that are extremely difficult to enter places like Syria, North Korea, Yemen, and its goal is literally to save the lives of those who are starving due to poor governance, Armed conflicts, you name it, Okay, so I see the connection to war in peace. But why give them this award during a pandemic? Well, Nobel Peace Prize Committee chair buried Reese Anderson made an interesting connection between the Corona virus pandemic in the World Food programs mission. Here's what she said. The world is in danger off experiencing hunger crisis off inconceivable proportions if the World food programme On other food assistance organizations do not receive the financial support they have requested. So Steve. She's hinting here that financial support for this agency could be in question due to the pandemics impact on the economies of the developed world, and that's a big problem. You know this past summer, you Steve Inskeep interviewed the head of the World Food Programme, David Beasley, and he said the pandemic is having a big impact on world hunger. Here's what he said. Before Cove it I had been given speeches that 2020 was weren't going to be the worst humanitarian crisis years since war, too, because of Covad. We are now looking at an additional 130 million people that will be knocking on the door of starvation and Steve Nobel Committee chair buried. Reese Anderson mentioned the fact that this year the pandemic has exposed a lack of global cooperation. This idea that the world needs to unite to combat the biggest threats to humanity. Here's what she said. Multilateral corporation is absolutely necessary to combat global challenges. And multilateralism seems tohave. Lack of respect these days. Steve, you can hear how she stumbles over her words here. She's obviously trying to put this in the most diplomatic way possible. But it's clear with the rise of populist leaders throughout the world. The Nobel Peace Prize Committee deemed it necessary to send a message that in the end, joining together is sorely needed in a world facing both the enormous threat of a global pandemic, but also global hunger.
