it's interesting, i was watching a piece from our africa correspondent, andrew harding, a couple of days ago, talking about the bulk of the most important american troops are being pulled out of somalia, and a lot of these actions around the world where we have seen a change in american posture because of the trump administration, how do you see, on a wider scale, a biden administration perhaps reversing some of these moves? ~ ., , perhaps reversing some of these moves? ~ . , ., ., , moves? well, we have seen already toda , as moves? well, we have seen already today. as you _ moves? well, we have seen already today, as you mentioned, _ moves? well, we have seen already today, as you mentioned, these - today, as you mentioned, these executive orders, including rejoining the paris climate accord, not leaving the who. messages which, it was also the main message from president biden�*s speech to the world, he said, america will repair its alliances and engage with the rest of the world. but i think everyone watching the speech, and joe biden did say the world is watching, and he looked ar

andrew: it is hard to understand. i don't think i have seen anything like this in my career. there is almost a small army of mostly younger folks who are assembling online in chat groups and bidding the shares of companies like game stop. game stop was a company that was worth $20 a share at the beginning of this year. today it is worth almost $350 a share. the company is now worth the same as delta. this company makes no money. there is almost a ponzi scheme element to this. it was originally driven by a nostalgia for gamestop and a stick it to the man view that the system was rigged against companies like gamestop and against regular investors. a number of hedge funds had that against gamestop shares and other investors were trying to win the game and make them lose. at the moment, they are winning, but i would like to caution those who are out there today, the greatest likelihood is that these protesters will be the ones who will ultimately lose because there are no fundamentals behind the kinds of traits going on at this point. william: these smaller traders seem to know

even with andrew jackson, it's a little bit hard to find anything that looks like modern humor. i look up this subject understanding that conveying jokes or humor from the past to the present is a difficult undertaking. because tastes change. perhaps you've heard the saying a felonous monk, that writing about music is about dancing about architecture. to translate humor from the past to the present, something is lost in the translation. but i'm going to try anyway. you look like a learned audience. andrew jackson is the first really popularly elected president. he's the one who makes the presidency preeminently the people's office. and his election appalled members of the establishment, members of the adams family and supporters of all those presidents who had come from the elite, he was the first real common man to be president. and especially in places like new england, around boston, around harvard college. the idea that this unlettered, westerner, this uncouth militarist should be president of the united states was something they had a really hard time getting their heads ar

people who have worked so hard to get the president elected. in the 1840's, when andrew jackson was president, he had it in the white house, much to the chagrin because it was trash. this has become tradition over the last two and operations. the president and first lady and her gown. the guns become extremely important, the designers compete for the designers in the gown. we are told the designer was not told she was aware. he donated it and it was also a nieces must -- it was also in the smithsonian. you can see the military. it is interesting because in the foreground you can see pictures. that is the story of the national billing museum. celebrate the built world. government office building has come to represent the inaugural events of each president for the last 40 years.
