Vaccine production. The white house also released 198page document outlining the new National Covid strategy and of the seven goals it lays out, the one that comes first is perhaps the most telling, it reads restore trust with the American People. Whether the president can do that remains to be seen and our commitment to Holding Elected Officials accountable on that score does not change from one administration to the next. That said, the contrast with the last president was certainly apparent today as this president put the bad news first and did not gloss over it. Let me be very clear. Things are going to continue to get worse before they get better. The memorial we held two nights ago will not be our last one unfortunately. The death toll will likely top 500,000 next month. The cases will continue to mount. We didnt get into this mess overnight and its going to take months for to us turn things around. Another part of the new approach is to leave much of the talking to the Public He
P played. My first act as president , i would like to ask you to join me in a moment of silent prayer for all of those we lost in this past year to the pandemic, those 400,000 fellow americans, moms, dads, husbands, wives and sons and daughters and friends and neighbors and coworkers. Well honor them. We know we can and should be. The question as the 46th president gets to work is how. How to conquer not just the virus that kills but also the politics that corrode the fear that none of it is fixable, the four years of american carnage. Will we master this rare and difficult hour . Will we meet our obligation to pass along a new and better world to our children . I believe we must, i am sure you do as well. I believe we will and when we do, well write the next great chapter in the history of the United States of america, the americans story. A new chapter and what it may hold for all of us living history. This is such a consequential chapter this the story of our nation that we want to
The book, we decided this is getting very serious. We know im going to be called on this because of my background in making movies. This was part fiction, part fantasy, but we decided to go ahead and go with this book. Peter took over the book. I was running the film, and we were crossbreeding all the time and checking each other constantly. But i took about four and a half, five years now. Thats where we are today thank you that was pretty thorough. We have been friends for the altered since 1996. Then we decide record to go ahead with this project. Ive had a sabbatical, thought it was going to be a 60 minutes documentary. Now a 10 adversaries. What i thought was going to take one semester ended up taking four years, four and a half years so its been a big project. Its important for us to have the book because i was surprised how Little Information you can convey in a 60 minutes documentary. In each episode. The book, an 800 page book, we cut out 200 pages to get down to 800 page it b

With a board and publicly available stocks. It has been, at the core, more of a family business. In later years, some would argue more of a Licensing Business and so we have this core relationship. A lot of people cant blame the president for saying the closest thing i have to a cabinet or Board Of Directors is my family. Were seeing a president run his administration and effectively the entire federal government the same way he ran a small private business with no stock holders, no board no oversight at all really and this is where hes comfortable. You have to step back. All the things rachel said about ivanka trump are true. Shes been very successful in the Business World sort of in the same way her father has been. But you have to step back and say what is her credential tool
