bush and his son george w. bush and the artist who painted that portrait. 41 and 43 because it was the way to distinguish them. >> president clinton told me once, i think his chief of staff told me i think it was 43 who called president clinton 42 wants and president clinton, it made his day. he told his staff all my gosh, i'm pretty sure it was 43 he called him, he just called me 42, i am like a member of the family, i thought that was funny. >> so president bush was reagan's vice president for eight years and is a question about, they were adversaries and i'm not sure president bush ever thought he'd be picked for the vp so talk about how that relationship grew between the two of them. >> i should say whoever asked the question, i apologize, it predates my book and predates from when i was in president bush's inner circle, do i know the answer? i do, it's from being around 25 years, president reagan sort of chose george bush to be his vp candidate in the 11th hour at the reporting convention. it was former pr

george -- jonathan: george, your take. george: the labor market is clearly doing well and we are in recovery. people have pointed toward the participation rate as being a particular weak spot and that is certainly true. from a jobs perspective and most want a job, there are jobs to be had. it is very clear that companies and hirers are looking to add jobs. jonathan: what about you, sir. >> a strong report but unsurprising. we expect it to be strong. a difference between the establishment survey and household survey. payroll numbers were coming week from the establishment survey. that was going to be resolved with a strong report across the board with payroll improving and net revision. the labor market, very strong right now. if we continue to edge out at this pace, we will be back to pre-covid employment 28 months from the peak pretty look back to 1980 recession, that would be the quickest time back to full employment the peak number of jobs back to 1980. jonathan: it is going to happen quickly. when you look at how the m

george burch and nicole vanderheyden. my belief is that she likely then fell out of the car onto the concrete when he'd then wandered on to stump on her face and on her back up against the curve. >> it's amazing that nobody heard anything. you would think that she would be screaming for her life at that point. >> you would think that, but if you're being strangled, you really can't scream. >> the injuries to nicole's neck were very very severe. it is likely that she would not have been able to get much of a scream out, if anything. >> both slinger and the detective were certain that they had their man. but remember, they have been down this road before. so this time, they waited. >> we wanted to make sure that we had all of our ducks in a row before he was taken into custody. and to make sure that there wasn't anything in that google data that would maybe potentially been exonerated before he was arrested. >> we could see him outside on the porch -- >> they also watched him carefully. >> you are worried about public safet

only george iii know whatwas going on. all . and over time, they come to the realization that banking on george iii is a hopeless cause because nobody is more committed to imposing hethis imperial power on the colonies than george iii. and when the war is over and they're looking for statehood the first thing you do when you lose the war is look for scapegoats they should have fastened on george iii but they didn't. they fastened on the generals , not so much on wallace and on george jermaine, the equipment secretary of defense . because if you fasten on george iii your fastening on the whole empire and at any rate, before he begins to lose his, he doesn't lose his mind, he has an illness before he becomes mentally depraved, george iii exercises the greatest imperial power of any british king since the glorious revolution. these the real scapegoat. >> was george washington a military genius to win the war with so few troops? sometimes his troops weren't even close barely and had very few armaments orhiwas he lucky that the briti

when are you, george? >> i am a historian. >> okay. >> but we keep calls me a techno utopian futurist. i have no idea why, but anyway, i'm willing to play the role that is imposed on me. >> we are glad. >> i really probably, i believe and i -- in a hierarchical universe and i believe it's helpful to have a philosophical perspective that unifies all these different fields. and that allows you to transcend this fragmentation of analysis that afflicts all the universities were everybody has his own's specialization. many of them with different organs and idioms of expression that even exacerbate the fragmentation of knowledge. >> yeah, they really do. and your work is always really characterized by the integration rather than the fragmentation, which makes sense. i think that probably law must have driven you to be one of the cofounders of the discovery institute in seattle. they seem to have quite a synthetic understanding of the science of their. is that right? >> that's what we try to do. we try to bring t

let me welcome george gilder to independent conversations. hi, george. [inaudible] >> it's a pleasure to see you again. i met george gilder first, i think it was deep in the winter of maybe january of 1982 in western new york, and you would recently published a wealth and poverty like the year before i think. wasn't poverty published in 1981, george? >> george? >> 1980. >> 1980,0, okay. s -- i think president reagan loved the book if i remember hearing he read it. store? >> he wrote me letters about it before publication. he read articles, excerpts from it. it was excerpted all over the place before it came out, and it made me president reagan's most quoted living author. >> wow wow that was a timeles. your creativity in seeing what others didn't see about the system of free exchange so so-called capitalism when you analogized it to -- what was the exchange think among the native american tribes? >> there's hannah moshe, that's the japanese one. there's a whole bunch of different ways. >> the try to get together and he would simply give and share which w

go ahead, george. yes, yes, this is an excellent point because it is a indian logical fight that the biden administration particular wants to wait. because a trump really was the 1st president who had brought up the issue of a me when you 1st of all had the whole cold war paradigm. china's great because china is on our side against the soviet union, even though china was then in the midst of this cultural revolution. but our great and good guys because i went outside and that went on from why to why because it was still. busy a grade below, still, it was russian, and you can see that manifested in the expansion of nato. and then i think, you know, right, you know, with trauma and is now a serious economic rival. i mean, you know, yeah, it will be the number one economy in the world, but trump made this into a non media logical company. i mean, he was taking on everybody who's of economic interest class of those of the united states. when buying has done, brought back to the cold war aspect to it, which

we are spending of full 25 minutes with george and pango, also known as the spoken word, artist george, the poet. hello, george. great. have you on this? go low. thank you very much. oh, it's great to be bio, i am thinking josh, that there were going to be times when you create kong 10. you do performance is for audience who know you know your work. so there's a sure hat with talking to them, and there be other times where, you know, you're speaking to a much broader audience. who jo? no, you your background. how do you introduce yourself to people who are discovering it? if people were discovering you right now in this conversation, i tell people that i'm a spoken word artist and attempt to talk about political oh, social. ready questions and my work. we are open into this conversation out. we have comments from jumping from uganda. we have comments on twitter and comments right here in the chief comment space. if you want to talk to george the poet, you are very welcome to jumping to the comment section. and you can be part of our conversation. we are particularly talking about a new

>> it appears to be, george. it has the molecular characteristics that strongly suggest that it would be more transmissible. it has a bunch of mutations, a disturbingly large number of mutations in the spike protein, which is the business end of the virus which really binds, particularly that binds to the receptors in your body in your nose and your nasal pharynx and your lungs. the mutations would strongly suggest that it would more transmissible and that it might evade some of the protection of monoclonal antibodies and even antibodies induced by vaccine. if you look at the pattern in south africa, when you have a spike of infections, they're very heavily weighted towards this new variant, the omicron, and therefore, you have to presume it has a good degree of transmissibility advantage, which is very likely what is going on right now in southern africa and would likely be going on in other countries as it spreads. >> do we know if it causes more severe disease? >> great question, george. we don't know that. in

george washington and the continental army could not. the army had to live off the land and so washington for example in the winter at valley forge, this when the uniforms such as they were were falling off of them and they were getting frostbitten feet and they were low on food. he has to weigh okay i've got to keep the soldiers from starving but on the other hand i can't starve farmers and the surrounding area by depriving them of what they need to live so it's a very difficult balancing act. in the same vein washington did became extremely frustrated with the continental congress because the continental congress was supposed to be providing the wherewithal to fight this war. the continental congress was operating -- they weren't operating under anyone before 1781 and that's in the battle of georgetown but i mention they operated under the confederation but the congress had no authority and they couldn't compel them to pay up to deliver so many head of cattle or so much of this and so much of that. they could request that the states re

george gilder,. that's for him to run. >> expect the domination of the theory of the information theory ofeconomics . which prohibits really anticipating the future. the future is based on human creativity. and as princeton hirschman declared, creativity always comes with a surprise to it. and that's no deterministic theory of economics. no deterministic theory of mind. can create a new future. and what differentiates our age from the stone age is not refinement of stones. it's the advance of knowledge. knowledge as well. it's learning and it's all constrained by the passage of time which is what remains scarce when all else grows abundant. so the future unless it's going to be just more of the same in other words, a degeneration it's got to surprise us. and i believe that in 30 years going to live in a world that is would be almost incomprehensible in some ways technologically from the world we live in today. it will go beyond silicon. i think we all produce and are intelligent machines will depend

george gilder, futurist? >> i expect the domination of the theory of information of economics which prohibits really the future. the future is based on human creativity. he declared creativity always comes with a surprise to us. the terminus of the theories of economics, that the divine can create a new future and what differentiates our age from the stone age is not a-- not a steady refund of the stones. it's advance of knowledge. knowledge is wealth, growth is learning and it's all constrained by the passage of time, which is what remains is scarce when all else grows abundant. future unless it's going to be just more of the same in the generation it's got to surprise us and i believe that in 30 years we will live in a world that is almost incomprehensible in some ways technologically from the world we live in today. i think we will go beyond the silicon. i think we will produce and our intelligence machines will depend on a new carbon age just as our brains consist of carbon, so will our intelligent machin

i want now to turn to george takei, actor. and having gone through the background you went through, it was pretty remarkable that you made a very successful acting career in the 1960s. and by 1966, you'd met gene roddenberry, and he had invited you to take part in a new series. he was calling it star trek. he wanted you to be lieutenant sulu. it changed your life. but did you take it — and this is where it links the actor and the activist — did you take it because you felt in roddenberry�*s vision there was something idealistic, something progressive that combined your acting and your beliefs? his vision was the magnet. but also, i was a scrambling young actor for every opportunity to act, and i saw that this opportunity, being a member of the leadership team on board the starship enterprise, which he told me was a metaphorfor starship earth and the strength of this starship is in its diversity, coming together and working in concert as a team, each contributing his or her vantage point, background, experiential history,

george washington warned us, he predicted us. especially when another phrase from the farewell address act like a pretended patriots, really acted like they are more patriotic than anybody else which itself washington essays ascending its national unity or if they fed into that stuff that washington warned against, they are part of the problem. let's not pull any punches about that. washington made a very explicit warning we just live through evidence of. so we could not be more relevant and that is precisely why we need to be listening to washington's farewell address now, today. we are falling into the traps he warned us about almost 250 years ago. >> john quickly and the most recently brought the farewell address, when did they stop making it mandatory to read the farewell address is the full congress, both houses are just the senate? >> the senate still reads it every year. yes it does. >> how ironic. [laughter] >> i would argue the house is more partisan than the senate although it is kind of a jump ball. what he thought you

george doesn't happen in a vacuum. this is a thing that's been building up and obviously comes to a kind of a spectacular clash here at gettysburg. so i'm going to pause for a minute. hopefully some of you can see this. i would more than anything characterize the mead sickles communication breakdown on july 2nd. i would characterize that as a failure to communicate more than anything and some you know, again some historians will say no sickles got direct orders, and he just violated them because you know, he didn't like me the reason new yorker or he wanted to do or he's a president, you know, all the school this kind of stuff. i think if you break it down first of all clear indirect orders the orders that sickles received as far as where to places troops on july 2nd were verbal as far as we know they were verbal orders, you know that always carries a risk of being miscarried but also for us as historians too, you know, we don't have we don't have orders sitting in an archives somewhere that we can kind of go and and l

let me try this on you, george. i was reading your book, this thought struck me, which is that there is always has been in the history of our civilization something of a tension, if not always opposition, between a mindset which is empirical in nature and a mindset which is spiritual and pious in nature. that's why people say religion and science have been in each other's way. there's something to that. what i'm seeing based upon your analysis, is that religion is the religion of singularity which is in the way of creativity. this is a replay in a really unexpected form of an old opposition. or is it? i'm thinking it's a replay of a very old opposition but the roles are reversed, because people who are all gaga over the power of ai to take over everything in the form of singularity, they are so committed to their faith position that they seem to close off their ability to be receptive to other data. you are bringing other data in. you are the scientist. they are the priest. >> one of the inventors of virtual reality

you have george meade assessing it as neutral ground. so it's the question of, is it logical to considerate, in a valuable position. and either lee or cycles, did they overestimate that? we will come back to that. >> i'm not going to do the battle here on powerpoint. it's hard to do. civil war battles on powerpoint. so few people actually do it. we are going to skip ahead. you guys know what happens. longstreet attaches attacks west point with great vigor. that wheat fields. the troops are driven out of the peach orchard. but as far as the orchard go, is one of the things that was best that could have happened to diane sickles was this. [laughs] because the artillery cells solid shot, goes into sickles'right leg and he is carried off the battlefield. and icicles is then removed from the battlefield. and this is the rest of the campaign. but he goes back to washington to recuperate. and on july 5th, they are recuperating washington, with his first visit. lincoln. and lincoln is desperate to hear something from somebody who is at the battl

give me a dollar. >> that's george's money. >> george wants you to take your shirt off too. >> you know, i heard you're 50. your knee's already not working, so it's, like -- >> this is like a football workout. >> aleve. get an aleve endorsement for the next ten years. >> my publicist called and said, hey, can you do a favor for michael strayman or whatever his name is from "good morning america"? "good morning america," sure. i'll do anything for them, but michael strayman, whatever. i'm kidding. >> happy birthday, brother. >> god bless you, man. we love you. >> it's an honor to call you a friend, an honor to call you a brother and i am grateful that you were born. >> keep smiling. >> enjoy your day. ♪ oh my gosh ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> michael strahan, your thoughts? >> that just made my heart warm. you know, you don't realize -- because you're here every day, you know, five days a week, so you don't realize how much you do here, and how much fun and how much joy it is, even though it's the news and we're doing serious things. we enjoy being around each other and we love each

we think about george floyd and how consequential that video was. we pray that the video here will help them arrive at a just verdict. but, reverend al,ky only think about all of the people, the marginalized people of color who did not have video. i can only think of them never, ever having a chance at court. and i don't want us to have this precedence where if minorities are killed by white people, that we have this high standard where we have to have a video to get justice. i'm thinking about breonna taylor, i'm thinking about so many others where there was no video. >> ben crump, trying to figure out if a precedent is set, where you have to have video to hold someone accountable for killing a black person, just like george floyd.on the video of arbery's murder was pivotal. no one was arrested until the video of arbery's murder was released and circulated widely, which took more than two months after the killing. that video sparked nationwide protests and activism. it was a key piece of evidence in this trial. like george floyd, the video of ahmau

it's one of the first george washington refuses to become a dictator george the third said that if he does that, to be the greatest man in the world. but at that moment, he was an think about it, this was caesar did rommel dead or what napoleon will do or others will do or castro will do. they tend to believe that they are the revolution, dictators do have a difficult separating themselves from it. >> okay we have questions from those viewing and i'll begin with some of them, fermanagh, listen to the path of becoming an historian and what sparked your interest in history. >> gosh, i think reading biographies, can history through biography and through lives and i love biographies since there was always a center of topic and i sort of thought look will come into this world the same way really the same way. what can we learn by people who lived before of this and some of them a thousand years before us so this perhaps an adolescent way to come to this but as i said, i didn't major in history predict i majored in philosophy and i decided to go forward in history because for many reasons,
