It is meet the press daily and i am chuck todd. Were following a number of developments right now about the pandemic, on capitol hill, and on the Supreme Court. And were also following news that the president is about tosh to issue a few pardons. We begin with what could be the biggest hack of the u. S. Government ever. The list of Government Agencies and private Companies Reportedly breached by what is suspected to be a russian state hack is astounding, alarming, and, sadly, its growing. The agency tasked with securing our countrys Cyber Infrastructure is calling the hack, quote, a grave risk to federal agencies, to state governments, and for some private sector companies. Were going to try to get a definition of what grave risk means in a moment. They are also bluntly warning that we do not know the full extent of what was compromised, nor how it was compromised. Let me repeat. Weve been attacked and we dont know how they did it, we dont know what they took, and we dont know if theyr
Challenges around the globe. Are we entering a cold war with china . Can Vladimir Putin be deterred . Nuclear dangers from iran and north korea. What may be the largest cyberattack in american history. Wars in afghanistan, yemen and syria. How will the Biden Administration tackle all of these . And is it getting enough cooperation from donald trump . And just who is Jake Sullivan . The man who will soon have one of the key jobs right next to joe biden. Well find out. First, here is my take. We now find ourselves in the twilight days of Donald Trumps presidency and perhaps the beginning of the end of the covid19 pandemic. Trump and the virus have had one common consequence, theyve caused nations everywhere to turn inward, to think in more selfinterested ways and champion a certain kind of realism on the international stage. As we enter a new presidency and a postpandemic world, we have an opportunity to regain the sense of optimism and idealism that has been americas contribution to int

The man who will soon have one of the key jobs right next to joe biden. Well find out. But first, heres my take. We now find ourselves in the twilight days of Donald Trumps presidency and perhaps the beginning of the end of the covid19 pandemic. Trump and the virus have had one common consequence. Theyve caused nations everywhere to turn inward. To think in one narrowly selfinterested ways and to champion a certain kind of realism on the international stage.

I think there areas you have enough like cardio but neuro is difficult to fill anywhere. Did you notice a difference in the types of consult . We looked at gastro, physical therapy and also cardio and we heard there demand didnt keep pace with the number of providers they had. The demand kept increasing and they didnt have the providers to fill the slots. So it didnt matter. I thought it did. We didnt look at all specialties but those were the three we did.
