The Hair Radio Morning Show Welcomes DJ Prince Hakim!
"Now I have a very special guest with us today. He's from the world of music. We'll say he's royalty. The DJ Prince Hakeem. Good morning to you. Welcome to the show. Hey, good morning. Thank you. Welcome. Thanks for having me. Yes. Yes, it's my pleasure. I want to kind of jump right on in. Let's just tell all the fans of the Hair Radio Morning Show. Now you are really music royalty. Tell us why. Okay. Appreciate that. Yeah, I guess because my dad and uncle are Robin and Ronald Bell of the band Cool and the Gang and they co -founded the band and they're legendary and I'm a part of that lineage. So, you know, I guess that makes me royalty, right? It makes you music royalty. And I just love how you just casually just drop that on in. Oh, yes, that's my dad, my uncle. I think awesome. First of all, we have to Cool say and the Gang has been a huge part of our history in this community and music and, you know, just doing they really set the bar very high. They're one of the most popular crossover acts of all time. If you want to even call them crossover acts, I mean crossover acts. They were just out there doing many big things for years and just even to say their name, their music plays in my head, literally, I kid you not. So it's just awesome. And then to know that you have that true lineage being the son of Robert Bell, right? Robert Cool Bell. So, you know, and we're going to get to all of your amazing music and what you're doing these days, but let me ask you because the fans want to know how was growing up with that, that famous in the famous family like that? Oh, it's just, oh, it's, you know, it's normal to me. That's right. You don't know anything anything, anything else. I don't know anything else. That's what that's like any other parent. That's what God intended. That's my destiny. You know, it's so it's just normal to me. But I understand what you mean. And I get that question a lot. So obviously, if you come from a successful family in any job or business or what your parents may be successful in, you're going to have the door will be open for you to go to the Grammy Awards or backstage concerts, you know, celebrities or your favorite artists and stuff, you know, so if your parents adopt or, you know, you might go to all the cool doctors events or lawyer events and you get perks as a kid, you know, and and that that's, you know, as you get older, you realize that as I say, wow, that's pretty cool. You know, I met Michael Jackson. I was like 15. Really? What was that like? What was that? It was bananas. And I look back now, but then it was just like, oh, wow. You know, and now I'm like, what? Michael Jackson was in his suite with Quincy Jones. So we win it. My dad would just hang out after he finished tearing down Madison Square Garden. Wow. You know, bananas, bananas. Well, I saw some pictures of you, D .J. Prince, our team. I saw some pictures of you with President Clinton. I saw some some photos out there with you and all of these amazing celebrities. So, yes, I take it there were some good there were some good perks, but you're doing some amazing things in your own right. So I kind of want to talk about that. Let's move on over to that now. OK, let's start with your music. What? First of all, what you know, what? OK, I can figure out kind of like what might have led you into music, but let's have you tell it. How did you get into music through, you know, through what you're doing? How did you we know why you were introduced, but let's let you tell it. Well. So. I think the first thing I kind of remember was being. Put into my mom's fashion show or talent show, I could say. Breakdancing in her talent show. I see some pictures now when I was like eight or five years old and I'm playing the drums of singing with my brother and my parents and we're all having a jam session and. And I don't remember that I didn't see these pictures, so that's early as a kid, since your parents are entertainers and ones into fashion. You're just going to. You know, they're going to put the children in it, too. Yes. You know, well, you're just going to adapt to it, absorb it up so much, and you're going to become a sponge or you're going to run away from it. I became a sponge.

"Special contributor on Wall Street week. He is Larry summers of Harvard. So Larry, normally we talk about what's happened during the week, particularly what the fed might make of it, what might have with rates. But it strikes me. There isn't a lot of that this week. Let's talk about larger issues that really you are focused on. David, I think it's important for us always to remember that ultimately trends are more important than events and trends most of the time are positive and events most of the time are negative. So we have to step back and look at things that may be markers of trends. And I saw two such things this week, China's huge evolution away from the zero COVID strategy. And what happened with chat GPT from OpenAI, which may be a marker of a profound change in what it means to be a machine and what it means to be human. So let's take each of those up in turn if we could learn. Let's start with China, because as you say, they really are backing off of their strict policy on COVID and the isolation and that they've been pursuing and also a lot of the testing. But do we know yet whether it's going to be positive or negative? It could be positive for the economy. But on the other hand, if they have a real spike in cases and really overload their medical system, we may have a problem. Look, I think we know two things. We know that a big change in China happened because of an expression of popular will and protests. That's a profound thing for the governance of that superpower with 1.4 billion people. You're quite right. We don't yet know how this is going to work out. Is this going to be a successful rejoining of the reality of the rest of the world? Or is this going to lead to catastrophic delegitimize things, performance of the Chinese healthcare system and we don't know, but either way, there's a big chance that China is going to be a quite different country 6 months from now than it is today. And so I think all of us are always watching China carefully, but we need to be watching China much more carefully over the next over the next 6 months when you're going to be seeing leadership change. At the same below the level of Xi Jinping, of course, at the same time that we're going to be seeing probably the biggest set of policy experiments that we've seen in China in decades. So let's turn to that second subject. They OpenAI creation of chat GPC. I won't pretend that I understand this, but I have read about it. Again, is this a positive thing or potentially a negative thing? Because we already have a lot on the Internet. We don't know where it comes from or its origins. Now we're going to have something we can't even tell whether a person created it. Look, when I went to graduate school, we used to estimate statistical models with 5 parameters. Now they're going to be a 175 billion parameters that go into one of these systems. The great computer scientist Alan Turing, 70 years ago, said that it was going to be a threshold for humanity when a machine could imitate a human being's answers to questions in a way where another human being wouldn't be able to tell the difference. We are somewhere in the territory of that right now. And that is a profound thing for humanity, it points to a profound change in the way we're all going to be working. We're all going to have a kind of caddy that or many of us are going to have a kind of caddy that is going to augment our creativity, augment our capacities to bring knowledge to bear on what we do, augment our accuracy. But just as the printing press or electricity was a huge change because it was a general purpose technology, this could be the most important general purpose technology since the wheel or fire. And that is something we are all going to be changed by. My hope is that the very transcendence of these kinds of events can bring a kind of unity can bring a kind of unity because they are so large relative to the differences between Democrats and Republicans or even the difference between the west and China that these opportunities and threats because they are both, whether it's microbes, whether it's artificial intelligence, whether it's climate change, that the very transcendence of these global events can become a source of cohesion and progress. But there is no assurance at all of that. We are living in truly historic times. Larry want to talk about a different sort of threshold that I came across this week, and I was a little bit surprised. I was reading Bono, the leader of U2, his new memoir called surrender. It's a fascinating book. I find it very, very compelling. And who do I find in there, but one Larry summers when you were according to Bono, a reasonably new treasury secretary. And he came in to meet with you and Sheryl Sandberg and Stephanie Flanders to talk about debt forgiveness for the poorest countries. And according to his rendition of it, it really started. You started with president Clinton, a real process that led to really historic changes in the debt of some of the

"Deny that things are pretty bad at the moment. I will note that two democratic presidents that went on to win reelection were at pretty low ebbs and their popularity at this point in their presidency. President Clinton, you know, who got hammered in the midterm elections, gave a press conference right after where he was asked if he is still relevant. In 1994. And then president Obama lost something like 63 seats in the midterms. And in part because his popularity was low, obviously that turned around in the preceding two years in both cases. So things could really change. The difference, of course, is two things. One is that the economy has turned very sour for a lot of people because of inflation. On Biden's watch, it's not his fault, but it is continuous with his term and the second is his age, which is quite different than Obama and Clinton's situation. So you mentioned the economy because all the polling indicates that's what's most on people's minds. And yet President Biden right now is investing his time and efforts. And I'm absolutely sure this is because he feels genuinely strongly about it. About guns and about abortion. Is that a sensible way though to use his political capital such as it is right now? Well, I would argue that even though I just came from The White House where he celebrated the passage of the gun Bill, that was bipartisan. Senator McConnell supported it. I don't think he used a whole lot of political capital to get that done. That was mostly done by senators. And on abortion, I think that you've seen that the party of the Democratic Party has unified behind it. And while he's been talking about it and looking for ways to make an impact, there's not a whole lot you can do. I think where he is really focused in terms of his own impact has been on the economy and one of the reasons that he's going to the Middle East on Wednesday is to maybe try to get the Saudis to pump a little more oil to change the price of gas, which has ripple effects all through the economy. So I think that's where his principal focus is. You just said Matt, there's not a whole lot the president at this point can do about abortion. I tend to agree with that from what I understand about it. But does the president know that? Because there are reports now that he's considering declaring a national public health emergency over abortion. That seems a bit far fetched at least to me. Maybe there's something I don't understand. Well, I think there are reasons for that. We don't, you know, it's been 50 years. We don't know what life will be like in the era after a constitutional right has been taken away. That's never happened before. So I think being prepared for the worst and there could be some very bad things that happen where women are afraid or doctors are afraid to seek or perform abortions in cases where they really need it and women could be women's health or their lives could be in real jeopardy. So I don't think it's far fetched to look into it. He hasn't done it yet. There are some things that activists have proposed that are far fetched. We're not going to open abortion clinics and national parks. But I think the president is wise to keep all the options, all the sensible options on the table and I think that's what he's doing. Matt, I want to come back to something you mentioned, which is president Clinton coming back from a really rocky midterm election. My recollection, it may be wrong, was that that's where we got triangulation from, that part of what president Clinton did was he tacked to the center. He did things like welfare report form and things. Implicit in what you say, is that something the President Biden should be looking at? I think so. I mean, look, both Clinton and Biden ran for president originally. The first time as moderates. I mean, Clinton ran in part on welfare reform. That was in his campaign. That was a 7 piece of his campaign. But he got a little bit off track with Hillary care and with a number of other things, gays in the military thinks that he did not anticipate starting his presidency with and the perception was if he had gone too far left and then he attacked back to the middle, as you say. I think very similar situation with Biden who ran as a moderate. But then, you know, because he wanted to try to get a bunch of things done in the face of the pandemic and other crises

'The President's Man' Author Dwight Chapin on How Nixon Evolved
"Folks, welcome back, the book is the president's man Dwight Chapin. So you were with him from when you were a very young man to the very end of his life. Did Nixon change in your eyes? Was he a different man shortly before his death than he had been in the presidency in any way? Yes. I believe he changed. I met him when he was first after he had just been vice president and like with anyone. With doctor Kissinger, any of these men, I mean, they are getting older. They are getting that thing called wisdom, wiser, and they are working at a different pace. There's more space in discussions and thinking about things. So president Nixon to me was always the same man, but there was just this shifting and more of a relaxed thing about him. In the days when he's running for office and dealing with the political issues, that calls for basically a different kind of psychic than when you've moved to being an author and you're looking back and reflecting Bill Clinton had an interesting comment. He talked about Nixon's trip to Russia right before Nixon died he went to Russia, and he came back and he wrote this very long memorandum to president Clinton analyzing everything that was going on in Russia. So it was kind of a perspective mentality. So Nixon died and what was 2002 or something like that? And you're saying he went so after the Soviet Union had fallen, he Nixon went back. I didn't remember this. And one of the things he always did was to talk to all of the leaders on the way up that were not necessarily in power. So he never just relied on talking to whoever was running a country. He wanted to talk to the opposition and to the others involved.

"An electoral practice minimizes or cancels out the voting strength of members of a racial group or language minority group When we issued that guidance I noted that discriminatory redistricting schemes are illegal Attorney general Merrick Garland explained why vote dilution is illegal under section two of the Voting Rights Act but a divided Supreme Court ignored that definition By a vote of 5 to four the court reinstated in Alabama congressional map that a panel of judges found diluted the votes of blacks in violation of section two Joining me is Rebecca green a professor and co director of the election law program at William and Mary law school I've seen a lot of headlines that say in one form or another that this is a blow to minority voting rights Do you agree and if so how much of a blow Well if you believe in the protections the Voting Rights Act is supposed to afford minority voters in redistricting cases then this is certainly a blow because the map that the state of Alabama drew is sort of textbook vote dilution In other words it packs minority voters in one district and it cracks a group of minority voters in half to dilute their strength So it's sort of textbook packing and cracking and to the extent that the court's order means that the maps will go forward with those diluted districts than that certainly will be harmful Irreparably to minority voters in the event And just go back for a moment and explain what the lower court panel which consisted of three judges one appointed by former president Clinton and two appointed by former president Trump what they found So section two cases in the division context require a three part test First the court has to examine whether or not the minority voters are sufficiently large and compact to warrant their own districts of majority minority district Then the next two parts of the test look at racially polarized voting So whether or not for example the majority voters vote against minority voters candidates of choice or whether the minority community itself is politically cohesive And on all three measures the lower court unanimously found that those tests were meaning that the legislature had diluted minority votes in properly at least in violation of section two and that's why they ordered a second minority district he drawn Chief justice John Roberts was in the forefront as the Supreme Court gutted section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in the Shelby county case What does it tell you that he joined with the liberals here in support of having a new map drawn in Alabama Well chief justice Roberts has long been skeptical of Voting Rights Act section two jurisprudence But the legal or the processes set up by the Voting Rights Act in those two different sections are extremely different So you're ruling in one case and section 5 and Shelby county in 2013 and just doesn't map onto this section because the law is just very different So it's hard to sort of make connections Other than to say you know that certainly justice Robert has been skeptical of the Voting Rights Act sort of large obviously for a very long time But what's interesting about this case is that the law exists today is very clear and that's probably why you have an unanimous opinion below because like I said this is sort of a textbook violation of section two At least as far as the court has been concerned up until now There's no opinion for the majority but in a concurring opinion justice Brett Kavanaugh joined by justice Samuel Alito said that this decision was necessary because the lower court had acted too soon before coming election Do you buy that reasoning Well it's certainly a novel claim I mean the Purcell principle is it's known is this idea that federal courts shouldn't make changes right before an election because it would confuse voters and would make it difficult for the election officials to administer the election But neither of those issues are present here where we're months and months away from an election and where the Yale maps could be drawn basically with the snap of a finger So it's hard to square that argument and it certainly a very big extension of the principle to say in a month out of federal court can't mess with the state's plan And I think especially worrisome about it is maybe it's going to mean that line drawers drag their feet to pass maps because if they can get it within many months out from the primary election and maybe they can win on the Purcell principle which just is a very bad set of incentives to set up In her dissent justice Kagan fall to the majority for using what's called the shadow docket Basically emergency orders to usher in a major legal shift and justice Kavanaugh responded by saying Kagan was using catchy but worn out rhetoric Was there some tension there I think clearly there's been a lot of concern about how much activity is happening at the court in these emergency orders where there is an argument there isn't reason opinion that sort of a lot of action happening in the sort of extraordinary way where it's this emergency docket as opposed to your typical Supreme Court case And so I think there's tension between members of the court who think that that's just the order of the day and that's the top of the Supreme Court functions versus those that see an uptick in the number of these kinds of rulings and some concerns Since there's no reasoning that opportunity for argument and so forth Alabama's argument here was that it shouldn't have to elevate race over traditional redistricting criteria Does this decision indicate that the court's conservative majority may be open to weakening the role race plays in drawing voting districts I have a very short answer which is yes I don't often get unqualified answers from lawyers Tell us why you said yes What's extraordinary about this is that in 2013 when the court struck section 5 it said you know don't worry We have section two Still here to protect minority voters and then now you have the court kind of coming in and saying oh you know if states prioritize race this isn't what they've held of course because the case hasn't been heard on the merits but the implication is that if a state prioritizes minority voters protecting minority voters that they're somehow violating the constitution would effectively render section two of constitutional That is you simply can't protect minority voters under section two because doing so is somehow prioritizing race and constitutionally So it's a pretty surprising idea because for a long time the court has given Congress authority to enforce minority voting rights under the Fifteenth Amendment And so this would essentially be taking away Congress's power and at least to do what it did in section two The attorney general is challenging Texas's voting maps How does this decision play in that case Well anytime that a plaintiff is challenging 2020 maps trying to assert a section two claim Barriers are going to be perking up here in terms of the probable thinking on section two compliant So I think if you're voting rights attorney hoping to use section two to challenge a map you're shaking in your boots Thanks Rebecca That's Rebecca green of William and Mary law school Coming up next the second trial over ahmaud Arbery's killing This is Bloomberg What Drivers who switch

"Mark When Leo brainard worked at the council of economic advisers under president Clinton the head of the council was Laura Tyson as doctor Brenner put it in an interview It was her first woman boss Lori tell was also by the way the first woman to head the national economic council and chair the council of economic advisers Doctor Tyson is now a distinguished professor at the Berkeley Haas graduate school of business and we welcome her now back to Bloomberg So doctor Tyson thank you so much for being here I want to talk about Jay Powell but let's start with lail brainer because I was you know her She gave you credit in part for her career Tell us what you know about her Well she's a brilliant economist She's devoted her life to public policy She could have been a brilliant academic economist I first ran into her as a White House fellow I was she was a White House fellow I was chair of the council and economic advisers She worked for me in her White House fellow position And then she wanted to stay and I wanted her to stay So we made a pitch to get the rules adjusted in a way to allow her to become a member of the council of economic advisers at the end of her White House fellowship And I've stated I followed her career since then I hope she thought I was good female boss I certainly think she's a great female economist Well she certainly taught glowingly about you in interviews No doubt about that Let's go to one of the issues that she will confront along with Jay Powell Something you have written about And that is the question of full employment Because we've had very accommodative monetary policy for a good long time and we had fiscal stimulus And yet we're having a fiendishly difficult time getting everybody back to work who have been working before Unemployment rates down but there are a lot of people sitting on the sidelines Is there anything the fed can and should do about that I'm not sure the fed itself can do anything I think the issue here is the fed maintaining a stance of expansionary monetary policy to continue the recovery process And the recovery process of GDP we're now back unlike the other advanced industrial countries We are back to pre COVID GDP We are back to trendlines of personal consumption growth pre COVID There has been a dramatic economic recovery The labor force participation rates staying down is a surprise It is a surprise And frankly labor economists are a little uncertain whether that will be a structural change in the labor market that you will actually see certain groups what they responded to the pandemic have decided that they you know the retirees Maybe you don't want to go back to work as much as they might have otherwise People who have child care or household care responsibilities Maybe not going back to work as much as would have been the case pre COVID So I think we don't know The challenge for the fed is they have this maximum employment target And there's some uncertainty about how to measure maximum employment Has the labor market changed in a way post COVID I don't think we know the answer yet It's a little too soon It's a little too soon Is there another question about how much we're willing to pay if I can put it in those terms in inflation in order to try to get the incremental jobs hired Because that seems to be what's going on right now So let's keep it running hot We've got inflation really high right now in part because we're trying to get the last people in off the sidelines Well I think that that misses the reality of what driving the inflation rate right now And I don't think it is current monetary policy I think it is a series of fiscal and monetary actions during the recession the COVID recession And that's effective the demand side of the economy But we also have very very significant ongoing supply side disruptions So this is a bit this inflation can't be understood just by looking at traditional demand stimulus measures or the demand side of the economy It has to be looked at in terms of supply So you mentioned earlier the issue of oil So that market globally is being manipulated right now by the producers who are holding back supply They are holding back supply as the demand for oil picks up because growth around the world is picking up that's driving up price You need to look at the supply side of this as much as the demand side And I would say I would argue even more How urgent a problem do you find inflation right now How badly do we need to address it And if so how do you address it Okay so I do think there's a lot of angst about inflation I would say it's a bit hyped in a discussion I do not think one of the tech CEOs recently called it hyperinflation I don't we're dealing with by one measure the highest inflation rate in 30 years But that is a recent number And I think a number of us believe but there's risk around this belief that that rate will start to come down And it will start to come down because the supply side disruptions in the production of goods and services that people want to buy with their income Those supplies will ease perhaps the oil producers of the world will sort of get it together and say you know wait a minute we can't really manipulate hold back production Just to get the price up Well they've done it before and they seem to be doing that right now But I do say the optimists the non those of us who feel I would not call us pollyanna We feel that there are a number of transitory elements to the acceleration of inflation And that those will dissipate over the next year The risk those who are concerned say well what if you've got it wrong what the fed is going to have to do at some point sooner rather than later is step on the brakes to step on the brakes And I personally feel there's no evidence that that the fed will need to do that There's some debate about whether they will pick up interest rates next year Second half of the year end of the year 25 to 50 basis points People have debate that but not massive They can't accelerate their tapering They can accelerate tapering Let me sneak in one more on oil You raise the question of oil And the story is that The White House is about to maybe this week maybe even today And that's a release from the strategic petroleum reserve At the same time OPEC plus is that if you do that we'll just cut back more on production Is this a fool's errand I mean this sounds like a basic game.

Critical Race Theory: What Is It?
"Is critical Race theory? Yes. So critical Race theory began around the 19 seventies with the law professor Derrick Bell and a couple of other legal scholars trying to understand the ways. That race and American law intersected how history of slavery and segregation was sort of codified and continue to influence American law Today. Adam Harris is a staff writer at the Atlantic. His most recent article was titled The GOP S Critical Race Theory Obsession, Harris says. One of the first instances we started to see critical race theory being used as a political bludgeon was in the early 19 nineties, President Bill Clinton nominated Atlantic near to the Justice Department. She was a legal scholar who done a lot of work and voting rights and conservatives effectively used her previous work in voting rights to sort of tag her as someone who was arguing for racial quotas in voting for the amount of seats that people should hold on city councils. They also tagged her as championing a radical school of thought. Called Critical Race Theory. Amid mounting pressure from conservatives, President Clinton has withdrawn his nomination of Lani Guinier to head up the Justice Department's civil rights division, claiming veneers writings lent themselves to views that he could not embrace the president cut her loose rather than fight a divisive battle on Capitol Hill. From there you have A kind of dormant period. It's not really until after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the murder of Trayvon Martin, the Jesse Jackson like race profiteer race grievance industry says everything's about race.

Biden Pressured to Restore Boundaries of National Monuments in Utah
"Confirmed interior secretary Deb Holland is traveling to Utah shall meet with tribes and elected leaders, and the focus is on the future of the Bears, Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante national monuments. Former President Donald Trump dramatically slashed protections for these monuments. President Biden issued an executive order to review that move and his administration is under pressure to restore their boundaries. NPR's Kirk Siegler reports. Former congresswoman from New Mexico. Deb Holland is the nation's first indigenous interior secretary. And in the four Corners region, there's a lot of anticipation among tribes about her official visit to the Bears Ears National Monument. When President Obama designated it giving it enhanced federal land protections. He cited its cultural significance. Land is rich with cliff dwellings, pictographs as well, A sacred camping and burial grounds. This is our chapel. This is our place of worship. Had Gonzalez Rogers runs the Bears ears inter tribal coalition representing five sovereign tribes. Ah, Holland alone doesn't have the authority to restore the monument's original boundaries. But he sees her visit as symbolic in FAC in the first kind of the world. I think it's less than 30 days of Secretary Holland on being in office, she has had more engagement more action than the previous 1300 days. When former president Trump downsized bears ears by 85% and cut the nearby Grand Staircase Escalante and nearly half tribe sued that court battle is on hold after President Biden's latest executive order calling for another review. Utah Republicans, including Governor Spencer Cox, are pressuring the administration to put a bill through Congress. Can we give on some issues? Can they give on some issues?

The Biden stimulus is admirably ambitious. But it brings some big risks, too.
"Stimulus plan. Now Congress Brian they're working on a $2 trillion stimulus plan economist Larry Summers. He was an adviser for the Obama administration. He thinks that's just too big, and it's gonna bring back more inflation, The top of inflation that we haven't seen in a generation. So, Brian a big stimulus package. Is this good or bad for our retirement planning? Well, I think right now the Simmons box. Obviously good rights, propping up a lot of businesses. Lot of liquidity out the market and you see the markets hitting new new highs almost on a weekly basis. We've got some volatility, but One of them's that Larry was talking about. He was a talk economic adviser for former president Obama. He warned President Biden's proposed covert 19 relief packages too big and it could overheat the economy. And it Z. Not the only one to say that. But Summers was Treasury secretary under former President Clinton. He wrote that the proposed $1.9 trillion Timmons could ignite inflationary pressures. Off a kind that we have not seen in a generation and went on to say that Hey, this risk of inflation could have consequences for the dollar and financial stability in general and said stimulus measures of this magnitude contemplated our steps into the unknown. His remarks are really notable because Biden has received almost no pushback from Democrats in pursuit of his legislation. He has begotten a little bit on the Republican side of the aisle. But some progressives have griped about by did not go Big enough. Believe it or not, But Democrats are largely united behind the bill. But what's really interesting with this is that he's getting and hearing from the same side of the aisle for people that aren't in Congress that saying, but historically served under Democratic presidents and saying, Hey, this is probably a little bit too much Republicans have been, you know, kind of saying that, but it is going to jump start our economy. There's no doubt this is going to increase spending is going to prop up our economy. But it is probably going to lead to inflation of what we haven't seen in terms of the level in quite some time, right. But you mentioned the common, you said, overheat the economy to find that for me. Well, it's not real growth is not genuine growth. It's basically artificially induced by all the money that we're printing prior to cove in 19. Our economy was cooking on all levels, and but there was nothing that was stimulating that we had good growth. Independence on energy manufacturing was up real estate. But now, ah lot of the stuff that's being supporters being supported by government dollars While we need to get these businesses propped up and we need to give businesses open and things like that the amount of money that we're printing And pumping into this economy. It's going to inevitably lead to inflation it it has to when we're printing this much money as we are, and all I'm saying is, it's overheating because it's not real, in terms of where we were a year ago with this time, Hey, that was a lot more legitimate before the government basically just pulled the breaker on the whole economy and You know and manually shut it down. So do we need t Get back? Yeah, absolutely Do we need to keep putting this much money into it? I think it's going to depend on on where you're sitting right now. Right? If you're a technology, and you're here Cos been going great. And it's okay to work remote from home. That's great. If you're a restaurant guy he's been, you know, operating at 25% capacity and you were closed for out of the past eight months, because hey, I need I need to pee Pee pee plan I need Relief for my employees, So it really depends on what side of the island and you know where you are in the spectrum of how this pandemic has impacted you from a business standpoint from a personal standpoint, and that's not equal for everybody for sure.

"We're going to start in the early nineties back before this shift. When the old rules about government borrowing still applied. Bill clinton had just been elected president. He appointed an economist named laura tyson to be one of his top advisors and she looked at the economy and she saw this glaring problem year after year. Both government deficits and interest rates. Were going up and then he said omega if we don't get a hold of this federal deficit than that trend will continue. Those rates will continue upward. That was a very significant concern. Higher interest rates were concerned for a couple of reasons for one thing. Obviously they meant that the government had to pay more to borrow money but also when interest rates for the government went up. Interest rates also went up for everybody else. And that's it up this whole cascade of problems so we're people won't buy as many houses. There won't be as many houses constructed in their wealth as much capital equipment invested in and investments in important part of the Economic growth in your all sorts of every interest sensitive part of the economy the way the government runs a deficit. The way it borrows money is by selling bonds treasury bonds. The government says to really anybody. Okay lend us whatever one hundred dollars and in say ten years we will pay you back with interest will pay you back one hundred twenty dollars. The bond is basically the government's i. Iou you that it will pay back that loan with interest and during the clinton administration because of that link between deficits and interest rates. Everybody in the white house talked about treasury bonds about the bond market time. James carville was a political advisor to president. Clinton was just an obsession. In the early days of clinton's everybody say what's the bond market could house bot mocking react to hell multiple. i don't know it just became this omnipresent. The heart of every conversation. James carville was not an economics guy but as he spent time at the white house he realized that sort of bizarrely all these people who worked there making policy the people who had what seemed like the most powerful jobs in the world. We're in fact terrified of the bond market so when a reporter from the wall street journal called up carville to talk about the bond market. He came up with this line that became sort of famous or at least bond market famous kid. I wanted to grow up with four hundred hitter. The pope and the president. But i just want to be the bond. Market's gonna scare the hell out of everybody pleat. What did he say. A what a hundred hitter like in baseball pope the president baseball. I cannot tell you how many times he said that's me. Every meeting every meeting a lot of my memories are about carville sort of making jokes about you. Know you issues as a bond trader bond traders. These are the people who work in finance all around the world who manage a bunch of money. Generally other people's money pension funds or college endowments that kind of thing and every day they decide what bonds to buy and what bonds to sell what companies and countries to lend to and what companies and countries to not lend to to stop lending to and like with any lender bond traders worry about lending more money to a borrower who is already borrowing a lot because all that borrowing makes it more risky and so to compensate for that risk bond traders demand a higher interest rate. They stop lending until rates. Go up and this bond traders demanding higher interest rates when the government is borrowing more money. This is the scenario that everyone was so worried about people. Were so afraid of this that there was even a special term for the bond traders. Who do this bond vigilantes. Bill clinton has convinced. The bond vigilantes are scary and in fact he decides the us needs to bring the deficit down. He decides to build a whole economic plan around getting rid of the deficit. One of the economists he brought in to make that happen was jason and a central argument. That we made was if you do this. It will lower interest rates and interest rates are lower will have more investment and more economic growth and sort of amazingly. All of this happened. They did raise taxes and cut spending and get the deficit down. In fact by the end of the clinton administration the deficit felt all the way to zero. And what came next was sort of a golden moment for the economy in silicon valley. There was the dot com boom but really the whole economy was doing great businesses of all kinds. Were doing well. Ordinary workers were getting breezes lower deficits lead to lower interest rates which led to more investment. And that was good for basically everybody. The system was working. The next big moment in the story comes right after the financial crisis of two thousand eight and this is the moment when everything is about to change when this big shift in the way the world works is about to happen but nobody quite nosy yet. Brock obama has just been elected. President obama brings in clinton's guy. Jason furman as one of his economic advisors and ferment. Goes into this meeting to discuss. How big of a stimulus. Bill obama should push for as he takes office. We met with the president-elect december sixteenth two thousand eight and we're all crowded together in a conference room. I think it was in a law firm in chicago and he wanted it to be big. He wanted to be bold but there was this worry. The stimulus was going to be funded with deficit. Spending government was going to borrow the money. And some of obama's own economic advisers worried that borrowing and spending too much money might actually harm the economy for that classic reason

"Pelosi in the White House driveway with other House Democrats around after that, meeting with the president, she mentioned the desire to pass something in the house and send it over to the Senate. Within two weeks, she said, it'd be ahead of the deadline. One of those deadlines is March 14th. That's when the enhanced federal unemployment benefits authorized in the last stimulus package signed into law by former President Donald Trump expires. The White House today is responding to a warning from Larry Summers, former Treasury secretary to President Clinton, former top economic adviser to former President Barack Obama, Larry Summers in an op Ed said that President Biden's $1.9 trillion plan, maybe too big could lead to high inflation and could also put at risk other progressive priorities in the future. Including investing in infrastructure, preschool education and renewable energy. Here's the reporter's question to Jared Bernstein, member of the current White House counsel Economic advisors. He has acknowledged to bail out in 2009, by his own admission, he says, didn't go far enough. But he says that this $1.9 trillion proposal is so big that risk progressive priorities in the future and could potentially undermine his comedies. Next year. Is the bike administration going too big, but no, I firmly with disagree with that contention. By the way, I wouldn't call the other thing, a bailout. That was the recovery act, and I think that also was An effective measure. But I think that the idea now is that we have to hit back hard. We have to hit back strong if we're going to finally put this dual crisis of the pandemic and the economic, uh, the economic pain that it is in engendered behind us with respect to Larry's point, I mean, one thing is just wrong, which is that that our team is dismissive of inflationary risks. We've constantly argued that the risks of doing too little are far greater than the risk of going big, providing families and businesses with the relief. They need to finally put this virus behind us. Second. I want to quote Fed chair drone pal who strongly reiterated this view the other day, I think was just a week or so ago that inflationary risks are also asymmetric right now, when asked about this precise trade off that you're asking me about, he said, And I'm quoting I'm much more worried about falling short of a complete wreck. Robbery and losing people's careers and lives that they built because they don't get back to work in time. I'm more concerned about the damage that will do not just to their lives, but to the United States economy to the productive capacity, the economy, I'm or concerned about that than about the possibility which exists of higher inflation. So this is risk management. This is balancing risks. And in our view, the risks of doing too little are far greater than the risk of doing A T O. Too much.

"Color in this country are much more likely to breathe polluted air and drink polluted water. The Biden administration is promising to change that, starting with an executive order the president signed this week. This executive order. Environmental justice will be at the center of all we do, addressing the disproportionate health and environmental and economic impacts on communities of color, so called fence line community, especially those communities. Brown black Native American poor whites. But Biden is not the first president to make such a promise. Rebecca Herscher from NPR's climate team is here with more. Becky. What did Biden do with this order? Well. The order creates a White House Council on environmental justice, so that council will suggest ways that the federal government can address environmental impacts of systemic racism. And you have to remember the government helped create this situation, You know, discriminatory housing and zoning policies. They are the reason that people of color are more likely to live in your power plants and refineries and highways. You know things that release a lot of pollution, so the federal government is promising toe undo some of that. So this isn't the first time a president has acknowledged that responsibility by signing an executive order. How is Biden's approach gonna be different? Honestly, it's not very different, um, all the way back in 1994. President Clinton signed an executive order that also created a special group to work in environmental justice. But progress has been really slow. Since then. You know, Overall air quality and water quality in this country have gotten better. But the police is that we're most polluted in the nineties are basically the same places they're most polluted now. And that's not just frustrating that its deadly neighborhoods where people of color are exposed to chronic pollution, these in the neighborhoods where some of the highest mortality rates of covert are happening. Some of the most severe damage from climate driven disasters. So there are layers of environmental racism going on, and they just haven't been fixed. Right. So how are the people living in these communities? Places with a lot of pollution? How? How are they responding to this move? People are frustrated with the past in action, so all those past promises they make people wary of new promises. So I talked to a man named Davon Hall. He runs a local anti pollution group in North Carolina. Specifically, they're trying to cut down on pollution from hog farms. So the feces from the farms getting gets into the air and the water and makes people sick and black people are hit the hardest. If you look at the mountain and you begin to look at where the the facility is located, is pretty much in communities, of course. So Hall has been trying to reduce this pollution for 20 years, and regulators have acknowledged the problem acknowledged. The black people are the ones who are suffering, even said that what's happening in halls Home County violates the Civil Rights Act. But the pollution is still happening. So I asked Hall. What he would say is the new administration, and he has some questions that he thinks people in power should ask themselves. I could give a voice. The Ross left. How do you give those people a platform divorce their concerns. And then who's gonna have a listen here? And how long will you listen to those products? So, he says. Actions speak louder than words. And people like him will be watching if the new administration follows through on their promises. Is there anything specific? Any specific action that Biden administration could take beyond this executive order? Just prefer, you know, Vice President Kamila Harris sponsored environmental justice bill that could have new life. Now the Democrats controlled the Senate and the Biden administration is also planning to spend a lot of money. So whether that will be equitably spent. We'll see NPR's Rebecca Herscher. Thank you. We appreciate it. Thanks..

Fed Holds Policy Steady as Economy Stumbles
"Learn a bit more about what we got from the Fed, joining us. Kathleen Hays, Global economics and policy editor at Bloomberg News. She's here in our New York City bureau, along with Dave Wilson, stock cetera Bloomberg News on the remote access from New Jersey. So Kathleen, I feel like steady, she goes, We know pretty much what we expected from the Fed what we expected, and that's going to be very reassuring to the markets. Because there has been there been comments made in the last say two or three months by a handful of Fed officials that depending on the economy, they could see that that's starting to taper its bond purchases in the second half of this year. So what they said today I think, Let me grab another headline here. That is very important. The Fed repeats. His policy statement that it's buys its its bond buys will continue until quote substantial further progress and I'll add to that headline has been made because this is language. They've added recently to underscore that they want to see not just the moderating economy and job market they mentioned which were what you were just reading from the headlines. They want to see not just inflation, starting to move higher. They want to see inflation at 2% and above. They want to see Ah lot better job growth. They want to see claims coming down and Kathleen. They're willing to let it run a little bit of hot. We've heard this a lot from Jay Powell and company that because because they want to see and make sure that the economy gets back on a firm, two things here number one you got left around. Hot, I think is the idea to ever even have a chance in wrecked and you know where. To get inflation above 2% H e double toothpicks is there you go, baby. And then the second thing is, you know something they even added. It's a small thing, but it means a lot. I think when they said that the economy's path will depend significantly, they said, not just on the crown of fire itself, but also on progress with inoculations. That's another word for vaccinations, right? So they're very hopeful as many people are that the vaccine rollout will go quickly. When I spoke to Lord investors, President Clinton Kansas City Fed A couple Excuse me. Cleveland Fed Sorry, Loretta story yesterday on straight there you go on now two powerful women there don't want that. They're fed banks mixed up. But she said she thinks by the third quarter will have not full vaccination, but so much of the population will have it that that's why we're going to start seeing a really strong rebound. To the economy at the press conference, J pal, That's where two be listening for I think one more interesting thing I've been thinking about the last couple of days. If we start seeing that strong rebound, and there's all this like another, maybe $2 trillion of stimulus being debated, you know, one of you will have in the middle here is Janet Yellen and she has said Right now, you gotta act big. You gotta act now. But I think this is a very interesting question that Republicans will probably raise. Look over getting ready for a big rebound. Do we really need to spend that much now?

Model Majority Podcast
No AAPI Cabinet Secretary!? (With Madalene Mielke)
"Madly milk. Welcome back to the motto. Majority podcast today. Thanks so much. Appreciate having a having having you have me. Yeah absolutely well. We love our previous conversation back in episode. One one to talking about your career your life story from the very beginning you know your political career dating back to al gore's presidential campaign. I believe so. I encourage everybody to listen to episode one until after this episode to get to know your personal story a little bit better but today we are going to focus on. You know some current topics. Niger say before we get into that. You are the president and ceo of the organization. Asian pacific american institute for congressional studies or apec. Could you give us a quick overview of the mission and the goal of this organization. You're leading which. I think actually is a good background and foundation for other stuff. We're gonna talk about later on in this interview. Well absolutely so apex down at twenty. Six years ago by former secretary norm annetta when he was a member of congress. He founded it alongside on the congressional asian pacific american caucus k. pack which comprise of the api members of the us house and senate and so apex mission is to increase a representation at all levels of government From community service to elected office and have them participate at all levels of the electoral process. Gotcha so it's interesting that you mention norman. Mineta who i think is one of the first cabinet secretaries of asia-american designed in our country. I don't know the first night check on that. The first right okay. So yeah. I think he was transportation secretary. He was actually commerce. Secretary and president clinton's administration got it and then went to transportation under the bush administration. Gotcha gotcha he has this. Unique history of serving the first cabinet secretary serving both administrations both parties administrations. And really i think started in important. I guess trend of representation that is about to end with the incoming biden administration. And we're talking about as we are a few days before job and becomes president to be inaugurated. This will be the first time in close more than twenty years that they will not be in asia. American or pacific islander as a cabinet secretary in an administration whether it's democrat or republican for the first time. And you as the leader of a pack which is a nonprofit has spoken out quite a bit about a lack of representation. Could you share with us. What is your view of what is about to happen with this. Lack of representation in the incoming administration sure dodge. Obviously we have an incoming vice president. Who is a pi asian american. She south asian descent black vice president-elect kamla harris and also to cabinet level positions. They don't head up an executive department of which there are fifteen. And that's catherine tie. Vr and near attendant. You know the to cabinet. Level positions obviously have a lot of influence and i will just use the word sides the congressional hispanic caucus and the congressional black caucus as well as k. Pack when they sent a joint letter over a hundred and fifteen members of congress to the by the administration saying close to equal equal. And so that is that those were their words and so And so you know. I cabinet secretary heads of an executive department. And there's only fifteen of them and so when you think about that fifteen how's that diversity including asian americans. It doesn't because there isn't one of the fifteen a. I applaud the administration for their work in trying to expand diversity in having openly. Lgbtq individual leading agency And native american woman of half of the cabinet will be women so all those great things. So if you wanted to find diversity and not include asians in the fifteen than i need to ask you. What is your definition of diversity. Because we seem we've seen this play out and other places where the state of washington. I think they're department of education. Basically categorized asian americans as white so obviously a different definition of diversity.

And today we're gonna talk about a couple interesting things. Of course. Politics is very, very much in the news. I do not want to really discuss our personal opinion about that, or the station's personal opinion. We're going to talk about something that is very interesting, which we acquired a while ago but is really something very, very special. What we have here is President Clinton's original speech of his acceptance at the 1992 Democratic National Convention here in New York City at Madison Square Garden. So he spoke there to accept his nomination for the Democratic Party for president of the United States in a few days prior to that, He picked Vice President Al Gore as his running mate, and he made that announcement there and what we were able to obtain. What I have. Here are their original acceptance speeches typed out with President Clinton's and Al Gore's original notes on the speech here where they change the word changed their notes and where they put down to emphasize certain points And these are the original acceptance speeches signed by both winning candidates. President vice president It's just very cool that these became available and that they came offered to us, and I thought with politics in the news. This is something very special to talk about on the back and bills. Mr Clinton's original handwriting, he writes down here that Perot, which is Ross Perot, Ross Perot's exit makes this race crystal clear. I thought that's pretty cool. You wrote down again in his own notes. It's about change. Versus the status quo, and he said that he is a chance he is a candidate for change, and he wrote down that he's very optimistic and hopeful that this speech will change everyone's mind and revitalize them. What do you think about those? Geez, Wow, these speeches are incredible. We have Bill Clinton speech, and we have Al Gore speech. I see here on Clinton's speech that he has written personal notes on the back with huge pages. I mean, this is really Cool. I never thought I'd be holding something like this. This is really that's his story we need. This is very historic, very story. This might be one of the most historic things that I've touched. Okay, They're both actually can see they're signed by the candidates, in addition to the special note signed by the candidates, so I love Clinton and I love your well, There's another thing.

You know, we spent a lot of time talking about what took place last Wednesday at the Capitol. And and the violence that took place in the Capitol building. We need to be reminded to put this into context. Let's go back to the mid 19 eighties. Have you ever heard of Susan Rosenberg? I have not so she was an active member in a very far left revolutionary terrorist group. And they she was convicted of setting up bombs in government buildings. In the 1983. There was a bomb that exploded inside the Capitol building. She went toe to prison. She spent 16 years in prison. As a far left revolutionary terrorist, and her sentence was commuted by President Clinton. In January of 2001. So you know, we talk about what took place in the capital, and if it was unprecedented, nothing like that I've ever had. In the early 19 eighties, there were far left revolutionary terrorists who set off bombs in the capital. I mean, we got to keep this in context here, and I don't know that anybody was calling for anybody who deals with far left group should have. You know their business is undermined or lose their jobs, or, you know some of the things that we're hearing today, right? Right it is. It is interesting. I mean, obviously it hasn't happened in a long time. And, um, I mean, I haven't read up on the Rosenberg case, but I don't think any officers died. Right. Should the bomb went off. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. One Rosenberg. Not that I'm aware of. No, no, no, no Adore was blown off of the lawmakers of office. Yeah, it was late at night. It was like 11 30 at night when there are 11 o'clock when the bomb went, there has been extremism on both sides. Right Major is the major past. The point. That is the world needs to be dealt with.

"Into the Biden campaign, and nobody's trying to track it down. $320 million in dark money came into the Biden campaign. Now I want to remind you of something. 19 nineties. One. Bill Clinton was running for re election. The Communist Chinese military poured millions of millions of dollars into the Democrat Party campaign into his campaign ended the Clinton Legal Defense Fund. From the L A Times, which didn't investigation the chief of China's military intelligence secretly directed funds from Beijing to help re elect President Clinton in 1996. Former Democratic fundraiser Johnny Chung has told federal investigators Some provided damning testimony before a federal grand jury that the Chinese government wanted Clinton re elected. Charlie Trie, a longtime friend of President Clinton raised 1.2 million and foreign dollars for the Clinton Legal defense fund in the DNC. He also dropped off a $460,000 donation at their office. The L A times. James T. Riady. Remember these names? Another longtime friend of President Clinton. Riady, you had extensive ties to China. His banking group acknowledged in court papers. They made millions of dollars in illegal campaign donations to Democratic presidential and congressional candidates get into 1988, including hundreds of thousands of dollars. Clinton's first campaign for the White House in 1992. Then there was John Wong is the L A Times pointed out. He raised more than 1.5 million from illegal foreign sources, and he visited the White House 78 times. So we know the communist Chinese do this sort of thing. So the question is, and I'm just asking Where did all this dark? Remember everybody where the hell they're getting all this money from hundreds of millions of dollars in dark money? How are they out, Raising Trump? So significantly, while we know Wall Street was Wall Street's in the back pocket of the Chinese We need to know. Where this dark money came from.

Weekend Edition Sunday
Pompeo Attempts To Cement Trump's Legacy In Israel Ahead Of A Biden Presidency
"Workers at the Capitol are dressing up the West Front for Joe Biden's inauguration, members of the current administration are rushing to cement Donald Trump's policies in place. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo was in the Middle East. This past week, he unveiled new pro Israel policies that could be hard for an incoming Biden administration to undo NPR's Daniel Estrin reports from Jerusalem. Compelled, became the first secretary of state to visit an Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. He had lunch at a winery that named one of its wines, Pompeo. The U. S used to take a dim view of settlements, seeing their growth as an obstacle to peace because they take up land Palestinians claim for an independent state. But Pompeo says Israel has a right to settle the land featured in the Bible for a long time State Department. Took the wrong view of settlements. It took of you that didn't recognize the history of this special place. Pompeo announced a new policy favoring the winery He visited products made in West Bank settlements must be labeled made in Israel when shipped to the U. S. A ghetto front with peace now and Israeli group against Settlements says this could make it hard for consumers who don't want to support settlements if people want to boycott Or not to participate in the occupation. They can do it by not buying products from settlements. This is going to be labors that his friends and they cannot know if it's from occupied territories. Then. Boyce is being revealed all of Israel. Pompeo announced another new policy last week. Today. I want to make one announcement with respect to a decision by the State Department that we will regard The global any Israel BDS campaign as anti Semetic BDS has boycott divestment and sanctions, a movement that calls to boycott Israel because of its policies toward Palestinians. Some Israel supporters see it as a threat because some boycotters oppose Israel itself as a Jewish state, But boycott activists say it's a non violent form of protest. So why unveil these new policies right before Biden takes over. Dead. Ravi V. And Israeli settler leader close to the Trump administration says Pompeo is playing chess with Biden one step before Checkmate. It's putting buy them some sort of check. If you really reversed his decision that were done by the constant ministrations. You might have to confront criticism. As to why doing it. Other administrations have taken steps on Israeli Palestinian policy right before leaving office, like when President Obama allowed the United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel's settlements. Scott Lisinski was an adviser for the Obama administration. President Clinton himself using his presidential transition, trying to move Middle East peace forward George Shultz at the end of the Reagan presidency. Negotiating a very careful formal diplomatic dialogue, the first ever between American and Palestinian leaders. These are examples of diplomatic opportunism. Palestinian leaders see this as their opportunity to make nice with Biden. They've agreed to resume security and economic ties with Israel after a six month stand still, and they say they might change a practice, Democrats criticized paying stipends to Palestinians convicted of attacking Israelis. Many Palestinians criticized the gestures like former Minister Nabil Armor in this video he posted. He had the infertile into Paloma that America, he says. Why give more ground before Biden enters office, while Israel is taking advantage of this time to announce more settlement construction. Israel got another boost yesterday with news that the U. S. Justice Department decided not to renew restrictions on the parole of former U. S intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard. He was convicted of espionage for giving classified U. S documents to Israel and is now expected to move to Israel where he has popular support.

My guess today was just re elected to her second term in the us house of representatives she is congresswoman ilhan omar of minnesota's fifth congressional district congresswoman. Thanks for coming on the podcast. So great to be here with jonathan so less we talked which was yesterday on msnbc. I ask you for your reaction to being able to say the words president elect biden and your response to me was really interesting you said and correctly and i would love for you to to expand on this. You said that it would be it. It'll be great for you to not have to explain to your daughter. Y the president. The president of the united states was saying mean things about you. I mean so. I don't know if you remember this. Jonathan but The president when he was running for president king to minnesota two days before the two thousand sixteen elections and basically when on attack against somali immigrants somali refugees and for me and the community that i represent for my children. It's been a four year assault on everything that we believe in everything that we stand for down to our basic identity as american refugees in this country. And so you know. I've had many long days many nights having to explain to my youngest child who is now eight My two older ones You know sort of absorbed and can conceptualize what what is taking place in the political discourse in this country but for her it's been really challenging or this actually happened. You know. I think for a lot of our kids. They hear about a president in the here about Someone they're supposed to look up to see as a leader and there there's a lot of respect for the presidency that we try to instill in them and to have someone who has denigrated that as president in herve daily formative years has been really challenging. I mean it's one thing to be To have someone attack your community writ large. It's another thing when that someone is the president of the united states and he is directly attacking you by name personally. How has how has that felt on a personal level you know. I have gotten accustomed to standing up to bullies in in my life and so on a personal level. It hasn't really impacted me. Besides having you know my my children be exposed to add and And you know for for the last two months of this election cycle waking up every single warning to text messages from my siblings. Asking if i was safe because he chose to speak about me at every single rally. Didn't really matter where he was sometimes multiple times in a day as he had held his klan rallies throughout the country. And and you know. And i and i thought a lot about in the last two years that attack on me has met for the people who see themselves in me Whether it is you know. Muslims whether it is a black woman whether it is immigrants refugees People who are aspiring to be leaderless in in our country many. I want to live in an inclusive society and wants to be part of creating progress for our country And it's it's really something to to analyze and to understand and to to reckon with. Because as i as i said you know when i first came to the united states in middle school i remember getting a letter of recognition from then president clinton and i remember you know reading this this ladder and i wrote about it in my book. My father sort of was really proud of this letter at the time. I didn't really care much about you. Know who was president or politics That to my father. It was an acceptance of our existence in this country. It was sort of another welcoming letter welcoming ladder when you arrive here as a refugee and you know that that is what a president is supposed to be representative of. They are a leader of the nation. They are supposed to make everybody feel as if they are their president and to have now had four years of a president who has occupied. The white house was not seen himself as the leader of all of the people in this country who is not extended a welcoming hand every single person Is you know. Really sad. And sing. And disheartening And the day that it was announced that he lost his reelection. I tweet it to my now. Deceased father who passed away because of covert complications are that the president did not relieve in. Acknowledge that you know that we did it and he will no longer be president of the united states and the country that he loved Will hopefully come back to being a pekan. Oh hope An inclusive country that understands that There is strength in our diversity and And then there are better days ahead of us
