let me tell you, cooper. you know, there is one thing we do. we make assumptions as people, as a society. and we dig our graves through those assumptions. law is not for lawyers. law is not for the government. law is not for some people somewhere or the rich. law is for everyone.

and so my point would be, let's cooperate, let's engage. but let's be realistic about those limits of the cooperation that that's going to yield. there is a pretty much no scenario under which xi jinping is going to agree to access for who or officials if there's a future pandemic in the very early stages. let's go on that assumption and then with the who, but also build parallel structures, you know, that will assume we won't get the level of cooperation we need. right? so, i think that's-- we need to be sort of empirical and fact based about this and look at the sort of 15, 20 years of engagement and see what works and what didn't and how to improve it and not going back to what we were doing before. before. >> okay. did either of you want to jump in on that or shall i move on to the next question? >> i would maybe like to add to what tom just said. i agree with him. we need to be realistic for the limits that are placed simply for the reason that the ttp has a stark realist world view and the cooperation is difficult, trusting and cooper

cooper's really amazing that she does all of that. i don't think i've met anyone else who can do such brilliance that she does. it really brings us together. emotionally we talk about everything. and we just really understand each other. so let's get everything cleaned up tonight and teeth brushed and ready for bed and we'll make some plans. cool? after dinner, cooper has some last—minute notes forjoel. in the death pas de deux. more emotion. a lot more emotion. by putting your own worst nightmares into it. when you're acting it out you have to take it all the way. when you're in the moment it's ok and annabel won't mind. it'll help her. i think sometimes you're like "what comes next, what comes next, what comes next?" — it's natural. but you have to think "what comes next, what comes next, what comes next..." laughter. after a late night there's just time to grab some breakfast. it feels surreal, because, first of all, i would never have imagined performing romeo and juliet here. it's something that never crossed my mind even as

cooperation requires trust, allows us to survive but it takes large group cooperation from us to thrive. not surprisingly larger cooperation is most effective when supported by trust that works in large group context. unfortunately large group trust can only be built on something we learned because we haven't lived in large groups long enough to be baked into our genetic egg like small groups. and large group cooperation is very common in nature, there are many species of social insects that dominate the planet. there are i'm only us groups of cooperation made possible by precise genetic coding behavior on if then algorithmic basis. that makes the issue of trust relevant. biologists like co wilson figured out long ago that genetically encoding behavior can circumvent the problem of individuals promoting their interest at the expense of proof. this also makes adapting to changing circumstances possible within any different generation. we already pointed out in his excellent book that what makes humanity successful is our capacity for flexible cooperation, cooperation that can be readily

i do understand the hardship these establishments will be facing, however we need to have your cooperation so that we can go back to normalcy as soon as possible, and we will provide subsidies. it has been doubledo 600,000 to 2 million yen. no interests, no securities, loans, up to 40 million will be provided to businesses therefore please utilize this and we need to have your cooperation. also for shorter hours at bars and restaurants we will have subsidies, and we may want to have penalties so we can take more effect i-measures and for that we are considering the revision of the special measures law. however in the task force there have been divided opinions, and others say the restrictions are necessary, and others say the restrictions on personal rights require caution, and we also are stepping up border control. it's been found there is a new covid variant detected in the uk, and today we have installed a ban for people that have been in the uk and also for foreign nationals who have been in south africa will also be subject to a ban on the entry into japan. as we move forward, we wil

that's why it's so important that we find a way to cooperate around this vaccine not only because cooperation around this vaccine will end this pandemic sooner than any alternative approach but again if we are going to set the stage for future cooperation we cannot have a handful of wealthy nations hoarding a vaccine while the rest of the world waits with the pandemic raging we will not have a good platform on which to cooperate to fight the next pandemic threat and it's really important that we do so do you find any optimism when you look at the future and our ability to fight the next pandemic because i see the richest countries in the world are the countries that have been hit hardest by this virus one would think that that would humble us but i don't see that right now what does that tell us then about the next challenge. yeah so i think and it ties back to the great quote you claimed before from from politicians around the spec scene it's a great moment for science and the nations in particular that supported that scientific development or hosted those scientists should feel proud but at

cooper: next question please. [indiscernible] gov. cooper: ok. we will hang on for one minute until they reconnect with questioning. i will also mention while we are waiting for the line to get back up that this is a complex process of preparing the vaccines and getting people trained on how to administer it. we are just in to this a couple of weeks. we ask people to be as patient as you can with your health department officials and your hospital workers. these are people who have been fighting this battle now since march. it is a workforce that has been strained, that has been working hard day in, day out. and now, they have this logistical issue of having to make sure people get vaccinated with a complex process. people with pfizer need to get vaccinated. vaccinated again 21 days later. moderna, vaccinated and 28 days later. so just be patient with them as they are working to get their logistics started on the ground. we are trying to provide them with as much support as we can and look forward to continuing to work with our health departments

it takes a large group cooperation for us to actually thrive. not surprisingly large group cooperation is most effective when supported by trust that works even in large group context. unfortunately. the trust can only be built on something we have learned because we have not lived in large groups long enough. the power of that argument. it is evident that the fact that the large group cooperation is actually very common in nature. there are many species of a social impact. and they dominate the plan but there are harmonious large group population. the sheer automotive city at their behavior makes the issue of trust relevant. they figured out long ago that genetically in coding behavior promoting their interest at the expense of the group. it also makes adapting to changes in circumstances impossible within any given expect the nation. what really makes you so successful is the cooperation that can be rapidly adapted to changing circumstances. this brings us to a very important concept. flexible large group cooperation. flexibility allows rapid

wyatt cooper takes the top prize. now, what i eed to know, not only for myself but for the american people, is that will there be a peaceful transition of power? >> you know what? we were offered to-- ben, of course, is the cutest baby alive. we got the offer from "people" magazine, and i thought it would be very selfish, especially in a year of turmoil for us, to take that award. so we said, let's give it to wyatt cooper this year. because hasn't anderson been through enough, quite frankly? ( laughter ). >> stephen: sure. >> you gave a hard pass to being the cutest baby alive for two years in a row? >> he gave a charitable pass. >> stephen: wow, wow. >> stephen: f.d.r. did. >> f.d.r. did. >> he was cutest four years in a row. >> i've been trying to convince andy that i-- wyatt-- actually, wyatt held a meeting with me the other day, and he wants to start a tiktok house, but just for babies. and, you know, like l.a. has the sway house. he's talking about-- he was calling it the poo house -- >> stephen: wyatt and benjam

that's why it's so important that we find a way to cooperate around this vaccine not only because cooperation around this vaccine will end this pandemic sooner than any alternative approach but again if we are going to set the stage for future cooperation we cannot have a handful of wealthy nations hoarding a vaccine while the rest of the world waits with the pandemic raging we will not have a good platform on which to cooperate to fight the next pandemic threat and it's really important that we do so do you find any optimism when you look at the future and our ability to fight an expanded big because i see the richest countries in the world are the countries that have been hit hardest by this virus one would think that that would humble us but i don't see that right now what does that tell us then about the next challenge. yeah so i think and it ties back to the great quote you claimed before from from politicians around the spec scene it's a great moment for science and the nation i mean with one and a half 1000000 mice lost trillions of economic damage tens of millions infected before we g

research cooperation is just essential, in my view. look at how much research corporations have been essential to dealing with the covid crisis. it just cannot be done without cooperation. that was a really welcome side. on student objections, there were many other things going on. we won't even get into the subject of services or financial measures that are taken in other areas. the fact that the government decided that they will make sure universities can still exchange students, i think we should see that as a positive thing. you have to -- >> we hear what you are saying completely. will british universities lose out financially? >> yes, they do stand to lose out financially unless it is possible for us to make sure the counterparts collaborate with us . we've got to explain on the research side, something really changes. we try to boost confidence in the u.k., and on the student exchange side, it's not really for us about losing money. in fact, the u.k. paid more than it received as it went into the erasmus program. it's about maki

some areas the united states and china can find ways to cooperate. beas where in fact we can competitors -- we will be competitors. i think president biden and vice president harris are going to engage with china in a multidimensional way and not just consider it an act toward it as an evil empire. we treat china as an enemy across the board, china will react. similarly. i think the seem is true with china -- i think the same is true with china. joe biden believes it is important for moscow and washington to find ways to navigate these very difficult relationships because it is in the interest of global stability. i think he has his eyes wide open when it comes to vladimir putin, and xi jinping and others, but i think it will be a more thoughtful approach. also, i think joe biden recognizes that you can allow problems such as north korea to fester, and iran as well, because the more difficult it is to resolve and redressed the issues of concern. i think the first year or two will be quite determinative, of how the relationships the u.s. has these cou

but it would require a level of cooperation and compromise that we haven't seen or witnessed yet in order to get that done. but i'm hopeful and i think the american people need help and relief, small businesses, front-line workersfrontline word help and obviously we want to make sure we are investing everything we can in the vaccines and therapies that will help us defeat this virus. so those are areas of agreement and bipartisan agreement the question is now whether democrats are going to come to the table in a meaningful way and help us get something across the finish line. >> nancy pelosi has been dug in since she passed her message six months ago, stubborn against doing a coronavirus relief bill in a cooperative way. right before the election, she said she wouldn't budge. she has been dead set for using the pandemic as a way to push a far left agenda because she was going to use this to pick up the seats for democrats in the house about what happened as a result of her actions, republicans picked up over ten republican seats in the house of representatives. why? because the democrats

only those who cooperated with mueller don't pass. so he's not going to pardon michael cohen, for example. but the people who held out and refused to cooperate, the manaforts, the stones that lied to cover up for him, they will get a pass. so it's worse than trying to make the investigation go away. it's merely about paying back those who lied for him, those who refused to cooperate for him. it's a direct assault on the rule of law. it's also the worst form of cronyism and self-interest at work. but i have to tell you, rachel, that while i probably should be most offended by the convictions in the russia investigation, i'm most offended by the pardons in the iraq war crimes because here you have the absolute worst of america followed by the best of america, then tragically followed by the worst of america again. the worst in private contractors murdering innocent civilians in iraq. hard to imagine a worst act of any citizen of this country. then you have the best. you have hardworking people trying to bring these defendants to justice

so, he never did become a cooperator, even though he signed that deal. among the mysteries that remain unsolved today because of b manafort's continued lying about his interaction with russian entities during the campaign and what exactly he did on the trump campaign during the time that russia was helping, manafort refused to tell the truth about why, when he was trump's campaign chairman in 2016, he gave internal trump campaign polling data and strategic data to a russian intelligence si officer. why did manafort do that? what exactly did he give him? what did he expect that the russian intelligence officer would do with it? still an unanswered question. contacts with that same russian intelligence officer were also covered up by another russia investigation figure, alex van der zwaan, who trump pardoned last night. but now, president trump has gone ahead and pardoned manafort, himself. let's see if he ends up pardoning the russian intelligence officer directly. that would be a nice cap to all of this.ig one of the reasons that tonight's pardon for man

their strategic cooperation could resist any attempt to suppress and divide them. joint surveillance operations using strategic bombers over the sea of japan and the east china sea, on december 22nd. monday's phone summit is seen as an attempt to reinforce ties, before biden takes office next month. >>> now, u.s.-china relations face further stress after washington enacted a new law about tibet. the legislation offers support to the tibetan people, when the time comes to choose a successor to their spiritual leader, the dalai lama. ump signed the bill into law, on sunday. it says chinese interference in the dalaw also stipulates that china will not be allowed to establish any, new -- in the u.s., until washington can open its own, diplomatic outpost in tibet's main city. >> translator: tibet-related issues touch on china's sovereignty and territorial integrity. and no interference by any external forces will be allowed. we urge the u.s. to stop exploiting relevant issues aimed at interfering in china's internal affairs. >> relations between the u.s. and china have

european diplomats have been complaining for years that donald trump won't cooperate with cooperate with them on china soon they'll have a president sitting in the white house who does want to cooperate them and this certainly will complicate that and i think it will so a bit of this trust in in washington about about europe's intentions europe maintains it's not a question of equidistance between china and the u.s. . but certainly this shows distrust. barkan from the german marshall fund thanks very much thanks germany has registered more than a 1000 coronavirus deaths in a single day for the 1st time since the pandemic began the country's public health agency says that's partly due to a delay in reporting because of the christmas holidays but new cases have remained high throughout december especially among the elderly and it's feared the number of daily deaths could climb even higher in the coming weeks. the bully record bringing some criminal in germany more work than they can handle despite weeks of lockdown measures germany has registered its highest daily coronavirus death toll si

a scope or in the scope of where cooperation in other areas could happen and here you will think that the 2 presidents might actually have to talk very soon after biden's inauguration but there are other things i think biden's announcement to rejoin the world health organization will come at russia russia is still one of the countries upholding the jointer comprehensive plan on action which is the technical name for the iran atomic deal and whether biden will simply rejoin it on the old terms remains to be seen but that's something that russia will welcome and i think even on climate change in counterterrorism they want room for operation but i think a lot will be done by diplomats will be done but on the state department level maybe not on the white house and the rocky kremlin level. the biden says he knows how to handle putin is that a good sign or is just political rhetoric at this stage. i think it's mostly rhetoric but he's true i mean he visited the old soviet union for the 1st time in 1979 as a relatively young senator and he's come back several times when he chaired the senate

i think one of the things about the cooperative model. it is these kinds of these are almost all individual contribution kind of activities so a driver, a housecleaner. at really answer. it's more than 35,000 members. it's all kinds of freelancers. people get paid for what they do unlike a plywood cooperative people are making a common product. one of the things this means is that the revenue distribution is can be very different. a small number of people earn a lot. the high fraction. they also invest a lot more and what they're doing and they are like the dependent workers. then you have a lot of people who pop in and out and have a more genuine relationship to it. that's one of the things is different about the co-op i wonder julie if you could i don't know if you have thought about this. whether you talk about this in your book. in the platform context. unless those workers are considered employees of the platform there can have the same sort of precarious problems with their regard to injury on their job. i wonder the extent to which

that's why it's so important that we find a way to cooperate around this vaccine not only because cooperation around this vaccine will end this pandemic sooner than any alternative approach but again if we are going to set the stage for future cooperation we cannot have a handful of wealthy nations hoarding a vaccine while the rest of the world waits with the pandemic raging we will not have a good platform on which to cooperate to fight the next pandemic threat and it's really important that we do so do you find any optimism when you look at the future and our ability to fight the next pandemic because i see the richest countries in the world are the countries that have been hit hardest by this virus one would think that that would humble us but i don't see that right now what does that tell us then about the next challenge. yeah so i think and it ties back to the great quote you claimed before from from politicians around the spec scene it's a great moment for science and the nations in particular that supported that scientific development or hosted those scientists should feel proud but at

stubbornly dug in against coronavirus relief bill in a cooperative way. right before the elections, she said she would not budge. she has been dead set for using the pandemic as a way to push a far-left agenda because she was going to pick up 15 to 20 seats for democrats in the house. what happened? as a result of her actions republicans picked up 10 republican seats in the house of representatives. why? the democrats refused to address the number one issue on the minds of the american voters, really for coronavirus in dealing with the disease. here we are at a point where we have been increased number of cases around the world. what is the house of representatives doing this week? i looked into it. they have a bill that will be taken up in the rules committee act.row called the more i researched it. this is pelosi's priority. marijuana opportunity reinvestment act. that is the priority of the house right now. i dunno if it has to do with decriminalization, legalization, making it easier for our kids to get marijuana in our neighborhoods. whatever it is,

the un's predecessor the league of nations had also tried to promote international cooperation on the health front especially after the spanish flu pandemic between $918.92 the un wanted to go a step further when was created an immediate post world war 2 period it began with very great idealism and aspiration and there were some from whatever country who believe truly international order united nations and various agencies would make the world safe for peace so that we would never see our devastation what brought war to again that was the aspiration but the cold war between the united states in the soviet union was already jeopardizing international cooperation in 949 stalin withdrew the us s. r. and the east european communist bloc from the w. h. could we be demanded exception to this is you just said to me this is i think we have other surely. as you want to acknowledge the big issue of. the conflict of the 2 world powers was also a battle of completely different ideologies a capitalist designed business a state run health care system started. success and nikita khrushchev was eager

pointed ot really makes humans successful is our capacity for flexible cooperation; that is, cooperation that can be rapidly adapted to changing circumstances. this brings uso a very importan concept, flexible large group cooperation. flexibilit allows rapid adaptation, large group context allows us to benefit from economies of scale. the probl is that flexible large group coopetion is very rare. the larger the group, the more our small group genes falter in contlling opposites flexibility makes this even worse because it opens up many more doors to orate. here's anotheray to think about it. there are many species like humans and wolves that are good at flexible cooration. and there are many species like humans, ants and bees that are good at large group coopetion. but there is only one species that can do both, and it just so happens to be the one with the eatest capacity for culture. unfortunately, even most human groups do not do this well. exible cooperation that is mediated by irrational decision making has no prospect of success for either the individualr the group. so it's not sur

so i would ask for your cooperation or suggestions of what i might do. the folks in this community have reached out. those conversations have started but it would be nice or useful to assure veterans in the area of liberal southwest kansas the community care network will be fully capable to meet to their needs on a more continuing basis or a daily basis than with the cbot could do is a something you can help me achieve? >> it makes sen to me you have my commitment we work together to assure that veterans of that area are served well. >> thank you does anybody have anything else? >> and then my usual practice to allow witnesses to add or detract something you wish to say before we conclude. >> we thank you for t courtesy of the committee and again we arrive today as representatis of the 400,000 and empyeesf this agency to continue to do their work so beautifully throughout the pandem. >> you make a point to recognize those that work for u and with the way to a new to express gratitude for the ongoing care and concern during the times of the pandemic they

you cannot cooperate with that. through business, through investment, we are strengthening a regime that is building up it military whose officers openly talk in public about killing americans in great numbers. history is going to look back at us and say, "what were we doing?" >> a lot a people are getting paid off. they are just making an enormous amount of money. i'm just going to say it. they have rich consultancies, they get big ipos in china. a lot of money coming into these universities. 370,000 students! i mean, that should take everyone's breath away. every student that comes here has to be vetted in some way,wa gordon. is this not right, by the ccp, before they can get a visa to come to the united states? >> yes. we've got to remember that we estimate about 13% of those students are committing espionage against the u.s. my dad came here as a student. i've got a soft spot for this., but we cannot allow this to occur because the losses are grievance. the director of national intelligence john ratcliffe estima

depending how much cooperation we have. as the leader pointed out, the issue of coronavirus relief is also subject to discussion. and i think in terms of, any of these year end negotiations could be, if there is an agreement, wrapped up the spending bill or perhaps separately. but in any case, it would have to get a presidential signature. it would have to get 60 votes in the senate. obviously majority in the house speaker of representatives. the question is what does that look like? and is there enough movements to get an agreement. think what we have seen so far not once but twice with got 52 republican votes in the senate, a majority. if you can pass it in a majority in the senate for a bill that provides funding for vaccines, provides funding for schools. it provides additional assistance front employment insurance. the ppp program which helps small businesses who are struggling in the workers who work there. those we agree upon them insisted up until now on a messaging bill on the order of eight couple comment to and h

extensively with investigations against donald trump and probably is continuing to cooperate for all we know donald trump uses the pardon power to protect himself and to protect his friends and allies and speaking of that implication donald trump has been plenty of discussion that man of fortune stand with potentially promised pardons when they were deciding whether or not to cooperate with the murder investigation is there a sense that that could actually change the course of events here. absolutely and this is known as the crime of obstruction of justice so if you use the pardon power despite the fact that it is a constitutional power under article 2 for a sitting president if you nonetheless use the pardon power in order to obstruct an investigation into your own wrongdoing that constitutes the crime of obstruction of justice and we know from a supreme court decision that came down this past summer trump the events that a sitting president is not immune to criminal investigation and ultimately to criminal. to criminal conviction just because he's the president so donald trump coul
