Did C.S. Lewis Struggle With His Faith? Dr. Jerry Root Weighs In
"So C. S. Lewis kind of up there in the Pantheon of great Christian apologists. Can you just share briefly, did he ever struggle with his faith? And if so, how did he get to a place to be such a clear author and defender of Christianity? Well, when you say struggle, I don't know exactly what you mean. When his wife died, certainly there was a grief, but I don't think that the grief that he experienced in any way put his faith in jeopardy as some people want to suggest. Instead, I would say the struggles that he had are the struggles anybody should have when they realize that what they know is not complete. We can have a sure word about things. We'll never get a last word about anything. Any truth you know could still be Paul more deeply. It could be applied more widely and so on. So Lewis wrote this two different quotes. One is a statement he made in a ceremony preached at Oxford University called the weight of glory. And he said, if our religion is objective, then we must never avert our eyes from those elements in it, which seem puzzling or repellent for its precisely the puzzling or repellent, where we begin to discover we do not yet know and need to know.

The Immortal C.S. Lewis With Dr. Jerry Root
"This hour is going to really be focused on things that are eternal. In nature, and they're much more important than politics, politics is critical, obviously. We talk about it all the time. The politics is only part of a broader picture, we're going to talk about morality and religion, and eternity. Joining us now is doctor Jerry root. He's professor emeritus from Wheaton university. We could talk about that, but definitely want to talk about more importantly. His book, the neglected C. S. Lewis, and doctor root is with us. Now, doctor, welcome to the program. Thank you, Charlie. I'm grateful. Wonderful. So doctor root, I have personally been blessed by reading and studying C. S. Lewis. I've only really touched on 6 or 7 of his books, but I've enjoyed them thoroughly. I mean, he was prolific. But let me just start with a rather general question who was C. S. Lewis and why does he matter? C. S. Lewis taught at Oxford university for 20 9 years. He also taught at Cambridge University for 9. He grew up in Northern Ireland, and he was a guy who lost his mother when he was 9 years old and became an atheist as a result of that. And slowly he worked his way back to faith. And there was largely due to a conversation that he had with J.R.R. Tolkien is very close friend. But he had these longings that drove him and prompted him. He also had not only the longings of the heart, he also had a very sharp mind, and he needed to get over these intellectual barriers in order to come to fully embrace his faith. He was a prolific author. There are actually 73 titles under his name right now. He wrote 56 of them while he was living and the others he wrote after he died. No, they're actually collections of essays, letters that he wrote and so on that flush out the 73 volumes.

I've been looking forward to this conversation for quite a while ever since Tucker suggested it. I have 9 hours of questions. We'll probably only get through half of them, but let's start with your background in academia. So you study history at Trinity College. What is a master of philosophy in enlightenment and history from Oxford? Am I mangling that in American? What we call it Emma Phillips is a shorter version of a doctorate or de fill. I read a research paper and one had exams. At the same time, it was originally created as a sort of academic teaching degree, but then got somewhat usurped by the PhD. And that was where I was going to go. It looks like you were setting yourself up for a career as an academic. I thought about it, and then I was invited with the other graduate students to my history professor's house on the outskirts of Cambridge. And I thought, well, this is where this is where the guy who's got to the top of it. I'm going to go and get a job in the City of London. So that's what I did. And I sort of didn't my thinking on leaving on leaving academia is that if I needed to earn a living, I might as well make money from money, which is what Aristotle disapproved. It was a sort of anti aristotelian act of going into the city. Is that where you began at lazard brothers or how did that part of your career last? No relationship to the U.S. lizard. They're all interconnected shareholdings that were joining the different branches together. I went into what's called corporate finance. People would see now it's sort of M and a department. And I was sort of grunt level. Sure. And I came to the point where I thought, well, I'd sooner be driving a bus, and so how did you transition from lazard to GMO? It wasn't a straight path. When I was out loud, I had, you can't work in finance without people talking about the great speculative bubbles of the past. So people would mention the sort of British railway mania of the 1840s and tulip main and so forth. And I left and I decided I would write it history of financial speculation. How did you go from that and other writings to GMO? So 99, the quant shops. Jeremy grant and GMA, rob arnett, first quadrant now research affiliates. Cliff asness, AQR, they were in trouble. They were not buying into the TMT bubble. They were buying their beloved value stalks. So all of them independently, Jeremy Robb, cliff, read the book, and got in touch with me, and Jeremy became more of a friend, but I didn't go straight to GMO. I then I was doing journalism for breaking views, which was the sort of dotcom startup people known by Reuters and started doing some and then I did some research for crispino juice, London hedge fund. Guy in crispin and I were having lunch in late 2003. Brisbane said we were talking about what was going on in the markets and world and crispin's said it's really all about credit. And I said, yeah, I agree, and he said, well, why didn't I just pay you to write a report? And to analyze what's going on. So I spent next sort of 9 months looking at what was going on in the U.S. and the UK and the credit boom. And then I put that out, I gave a copy to Jeremy. As a present, I was having lunch with Jeremy in the summer of 2007, just after the bare stones, hedge funds started blowing up. And Jeremy said, well, at least there's enough structural redundancy in the banking system. And I said, what the hell makes you think that? And what was his response? Well, he thought about it, and then I went home, I went, we have a house in Cape Cod. Jeremy called and said, would you like to join the asset allocation team? And it's a hard thing to say no to. Well, I said no initially. And then went back to England, then he called again. And because he's investors sometimes say light throw drop office around that very serious. And then he called a couple of months later, and then I decided, yeah, I would take it. And Jeremy wanted obviously I'd done a lot of work on the credit boom, but he also wanted, I said, to Jeremy, I'm not a quant. And GMA is so filled with coins. Yeah. And Jeremy said, I'm not a quand either. So he wanted a sort of non quantity view input into the arsenal allocation process.

Scientists Predict More Extreme Weather Globally After Germany Devastated by Flooding
"Chancellor Angela Merkel has been facing tough questions while touring damage from those devastating floods last week that killed at least 196 people. Germans are asking why their country famous for engineering and its leading role in climate change, negotiations could be caught so tragically off guard by the kind of extreme weather that climate scientists have predicted. For years. The past few weeks have also seen a blistering heat wave in the American West and above normal hurricane season is predicted. And the kind of extreme weather events that climate change will make more likely and more severe, are said to be coming. Fredricka Otto is associate director of the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford University in the UK Freddy. Welcome. Thank you very much. Yeah, and start with the flooding.

Astra approved! But do we have a boomer problem?
"We finally got the therapeutic goods administration approval of the oxford university astrazeneca vaccine in australia. Which was something that was hinted that was coming soon last week. By paul kelly Yesterday it happened. Norman fine print. Well i'll give you a big print. I look at the big print is this is a really good decision. Untrustworthy decision on the part of the therapeutic goods administration. It creates a political problem for the government. But it's it's it's a sound decision based on the evidence so they've they've maintained an independent position so it's really quite impressive so the first thing is that they have said and i think we've presaged this on corona cast. They've said that the ideal dozy jr is twelve weeks. Apart at standard does of the astro vaccine twelve weeks apart now the evidence is from the clinical trials and presumably they got more since they published trial in december. Is that if you give the vaccine three months apart. Then you get ninety percent. Efficacy in terms of preventing symptoms mild to severe symptoms of covid nineteen and it gives one hundred percent protection against severe disease so in fact the dosage reaching recommended brings it up to the performance of the pfizer vaccine. When you say a standard dice is that the original standardise that was always being used or is that the half dose that was used in one of the parts of the trial that we were talking about las g. no martin standing is to standard doses according to the trial not the accidental. Half does that was given as part of the british trial so it's two standard doses three months apart. And if we're able to do that there's a problem with that. By the way is that you can get variance coming in as a long time to wait in new things can happen with the virus but it does give you that high degree of efficacy which is great news. The detail here is that they had a problem with their trial is that they were late. In recruiting people over sixty five and the trials do not have a large number of people aged over sixty five who actually got infected so they can't actually give you a number for the efficacy of the vaccine in the over sixty five they can give you the average but not offer the over sixty five themselves now. What they say is that in the an. It's true in the laboratory testing over sixty-five very strong antibody response. Which makes you think that you will get efficacy in new over sixty five. But they've got no proof of it in trials yet that will emerge as time goes on and there in lies the problem for the government because in the light of that they probably you know and they're going to go with the evidence people over sixty five shoud get the pfizer vaccine to be absolutely sure. It's highly likely astra one will work in over sixty five. It'll certainly prevent severe disease. You would imagine. But there's no solid evidence of that. At this time you'd be going on the antibodies on the on the flip side of that just so too negative about all this. Is that when you bring on a new vaccine into the market like influenza vaccines or others which is already being tested. Randomized trials you do tend to go on whether or not the having effective antibody response and rely on that so it's not unusual to rely on an antibody response. It's just that the moment we'd like to know that it does prevent disease. So that's the story what we'd be. What's been approved. As a ninety percent effective vaccine and therefore it will prevent severe disease and be really good at malta mortar disease and maybe prevent transmission because one of the few vaccines to be tested for transmission.

CBS NEWS Medical Contributor Dr David Vegas doctor eggs, how big of a deal is this in the global effort to stamp out the virus? It's a big deal. I mean, it matters to us that other countries were being vaccinated. Stop the spread of the virus, a new variant. This is an excellent vaccine. There were two approvals want us for the manufacturing planet, South Korea and another for the manufacturing plant of India, which together will be tens of millions of doses of vaccine that will now be rolling out two countries around the globe. There are 100 and 20, plus countries that have yet to begin vaccinating. This will enable much of that to happen across the world. And I understand the move is also gonna be in some countries that haven't received any vaccine yet. We'll finally get some Yeah. I mean, there's obviously cheers going up in those countries and I think we're going to start to see the most vulnerable and the first line health care providers in those countries start to be vaccinated and you know, it's critical. We stop this virus around the globe. We are all depending on what other countries do. And now the AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine. Is this one of the vaccines that does not require those extreme care in handling conditions. This is a next Clint vaccine that you know is just refrigerated and they're no allergic reactions. You want to watch people afterwards. So literally, They can go into a small villages across the globe and vaccinate people one by one, and it'll be very, very efficient. In the United Kingdom, where this was first rolled out, it is vaccinated millions of people with no real side effects. And remarkable efficacy. Where numbers they're starting to fall there in the areas that were vaccinated. All right, well, so we've got these efficacy numbers that yet the AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine has not yet been approved for use in the U. S. Why is that? And might it be or when might it be? Mm hmm. That's certainly an interesting question is that there are tens of millions of doses here in the United States of the extra Zeneca operates that seem ready to roll out its been approved in dozens of countries across the globe. With excellent safety and efficacy in the United States. They're requiring them to safety study be done here in the United States. First, those data should be available over the next several weeks. And then I would imagine weeks afterwards will be submitted to the FDA and then reviewed so we're still talking probably several months here in the United States. Before it is rolled out. Alright, It's frustrating. Certainly. No, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Oh, no, It's certainly frustrating that these doses exist and they're here and we are waiting to roll that out.
